0278 Not easy times
Lynch's good-natured, factual joke prepared both of them for what was to come, and by this time the two had already walked out of the town hall, into the parking lot, and into Ferral's car.
As if to provide more security in this small, confined space, Ferral rolled down a few windows and lit a cigarette, "The workers' union has been preparing for a new march recently, you know?"
Lynch shook his head, he had only been back for a few days, and he didn't care about the situation on the workers' side, and he didn't have any friends in the workers' union group, and he wasn't interested, so naturally he didn't know that the workers' union was going to make trouble again.
In fact, most of the uproar of the workers' unions is due to the fact that life is too difficult now, and the unemployment rate of up to 20 percent has put the whole city of Sabine in a terrible situation.
People walked the streets with their strength weak, and some of the tall men were so thin that they were only skinny and bones, and they had to sit down and rest for a while after walking a few steps, and their lack of physical strength made it a burden for them to walk.
Now the law and order in the city of Sabine is quite good, and the veterans who have filled the vacancies in the police station because of the police strike, they are much stronger in execution than the ordinary police officers who are recruited into the police station, and they are much tougher in attitude.
Most of the police officers and street figures in the past are already familiar with them, and in some ways they do it to better solve the case when it happens, but there are also some problems because of this, such as leaks of information or personal relationships.
But now that these are gone, the police have cleared the streets like never before, and the people on those streets have to huddle in their houses, and the rest have no strength to commit crimes, which makes law and order much better.
But these changes have never changed the fact that people don't have jobs, and work is more important than anything else at this time.
Even some newspapers have reported some surprising news about a teenage girl sleeping with a cook in her fifties just to get a job as a waitress.
Another example is that two generations of women in a family were arrested at the same time for illegal recruitment, and the judge, society, and public opinion chased and beat them so hard that the mother and daughter chose to commit suicide together.
There are too many things that come together, and that is that it is difficult to really stabilize society without work, and that is the purpose of this march of the workers' unions, which wants the town hall to give them some jobs so that some very difficult families do not fall into the path of crime.
From a moral and ethical point of view, this kind of appeal is normal, even great, but it is appealed in a way that people do not like it so much, and the mayor is also very troubled by it.
"The mayor told me that you have a new way of hiring people to work for you......"
Before Ferral could finish speaking, Lynch interrupted him, "No, it's not a hire, I have to correct your and the mayor's cognitive mistakes in this regard, we are cooperating!"
Lynch patiently explained to Ferrale how he worked with these people, who were not his workers, and that these family-based workshops were micro-enterprises in their own right, and that Lynch was a different one.
He places orders for these micro-enterprises, they are a partnership, there is never an employment relationship!
“...... So, it's not an employment relationship, and I don't need to guarantee their working hours, their income, and all sorts of social security for that, you know what I mean?"
Ferral's expression was a little strange, what he had heard from the mayor was not very complete, in short, the mayor's tone was not too good, as if it were ...... He didn't think Lynch was a thing.
Originally, Ferral thought it was a little strange, but now he had the same idea, Lynch was really not a fucking thing.
When people talk about the cruelty and cruelty of the capitalists, they will bring up some bills, such as the "Minimum Hourly Wage Act", the "Workers' Security Act", etc., which protect workers from the arbitrary exploitation and oppression of the capitalists.
No matter what the capitalists want to do with these workers, they must follow the rules and carry out their ugly and despicable exploitation and oppression within the framework of the rules.
But now that Lynch has jumped out of this framework, Ferral doesn't know whether to call him a genius or a bastard, Ferral believes that the capitalists of the whole Federation will like Lynch's new idea, which will save them a lot of money.
At the same time, Ferral himself has some concerns that once the capitalists start using this method, it will also mean that a large number of workers will lose all kinds of security, and they may not even be able to pay social insurance.
Ferral asked some questions of his own, but Lynch patiently explained that if you want people to start accepting this kind of thing, you must first make them understand that this is not actually exploitation.
The so-called "piece rate" is essentially a process created by ordinary people and ordinary families to realize their self-worth, and if they are willing to work hard, they will be able to get much more than they used to work in the factory.
But if they are not willing to create and realize their own value, they choose to be lazy, or even do nothing, then they will not get anything.
"Society is not a pouch, it may be cruel here, but there is also fairness here that cannot be found elsewhere, real fairness. ”
"How much you give, how much you get, if that's not fair, it's hard for me to believe that there is anything else in this world that can be called fair!"
"And, my friend, whether any system, a method, is really going to continue, the reaction of society itself will give the answer, the right one will always exist, and the unsuitable one will soon disappear. ”
"None of us know if my method will work or whether it will be suitable for the development of society and the times, this needs to be verified, but I think it is a good way!"
Ferral smoked several cigarettes in a row, and he couldn't find any argument to refute Lynch's fallacy, and finally could only sigh with a wry smile, "I found that I was persuaded by you!"
Lynch followed up, "The more the truth is argued, the clearer it becomes (the conclusion that is proved repeatedly is instructive)!"
"You've got to ...... something special," Ferral said, muttering, "and the mayor means that if you can convince the workers in the union to adopt your way, maybe you can talk to them first!"
This sentence means that the mayor has made concessions on this matter of principle, in fact, he will not be able to make concessions, at the right age to work, and among the people who are willing to work, one out of every five is unemployed, what is this concept?
Of the 800,000 people in Sabin, about 150,000 are suitable and willing to work, but 30,000 are currently unemployed.
These 30,000 people affect about 100,000 families, radiating to the lives of 200,000 people, which is already terrible, and if the unemployment rate continues to rise, or if it stays at this number, it is very likely that the city hall of Sabin will be dissolved, and then re-elected by the people, or simply self-government, until finally the city is abolished.
The unemployment rate in the city of Sabine is significantly higher than elsewhere, mainly because of the collapse of the Ristoan group, and the mayor thought that by identifying the problem and keeping them behind, he would prevent more people from losing their jobs.
But the worse the problem, the more troublesome it becomes, in fact, even if the Ristian Group does not leave, they will not be able to start work.
After years of financial report fraud, they actually lose money every year, and even if the mayor and governor don't touch them, they won't last long, and they will still go bankrupt and go out of business when the time comes.
Now that the mayor was cornered, he remembered Lynch's previous proposal.
Lynch's spirits perked, "When am I going to talk to them?"
"The night after tomorrow, there's a big parade during the day, and when the game is over, you can talk, you can choose the location, but the union wants to put the location in the office building of the workers' union. ”
Lynch chuckled when he heard this, and he nodded slightly, and he tasted something else from Ferral's words.
It was clear that he could talk to the workers' union directly about it and not let the march take place, but the mayor did not show any intention of moving forward, and the workers' union even wanted the negotiation to be held in their office building, which made the whole thing suddenly smell of something strange, which was political.
The mayor wants to show his ability and influence, and as soon as the march broke out, he was able to suppress it, which speaks to his ability.
As for the parade?
Please, get rid of it, this is the Free Federation, the procession and assembly are the free rights of the citizens granted by the Charter, they can even start the march and assembly spontaneously without notifying the Social Services Bureau, and the police and other institutions cannot disperse it, and even help them maintain order, because this is the embodiment of the precious spirit of freedom of the Free Federation.
These bastards would hold a parade whenever they were fine, for example, on weekends to protest against the lack of beef in the lunches given to them by the capitalists, and now it's so bad that there are marchers all over the country, and no one is going to blame the march that broke out in Sabin.
As for the workers' unions, the workers' representatives, who do not see themselves as workers, also want to show their influence.
As soon as the march began, the city hall arranged for people to solve the problem, which only shows that the local workers' union has done a very good job in terms of cohesion and influence, and the head of the local guild may be rewarded by the top management of the union, or even promoted to the Socialist Party, becoming a politician who is not too big or small!
Compromise?
No, it should be fornication.
After feeling a certain contempt in his heart at this time from Lynch's face, Ferral laughed dryly, "Is there a problem?"
"Problem?", Lynch came back to his senses and shook his head, "Of course there is no problem, I will convince these people!"
"That's good, although the mayor didn't say it explicitly, I can feel that he takes this matter very seriously!"
After the two separated, Lynch returned home, and after a few days of absence, the place was still kept clean and tidy, and the maid would still come to clean and clean it anytime and anywhere when he was not there, to make sure that the place was spotless.
Her attitude at work is even more focused, more attentive, more brisk than before, her skirt is shorter, and her open breasts are bigger and lower, all to be able to keep the job, of course!
In this era, in this environment, it is not easy for everyone!
