Chapter 142: Silves' Considerations
Tom said he wanted to be the largest and only factory owner in the United States, and Silves and other executives at the American Workers' Union wanted to make life better for their employees.
According to Tom Smith's theory, both sides are now in dire need of a fully unified America to move them forward.
Throughout the United States, although Tom Smith's industry is not comparable to that of the descendants of the founding fathers of the United States led by the Boston Consortium,
But the old Yankee consortium after the founding father of the United States is a loose federation, and even within the local consortiums, there are several or even dozens of family infighting.
If you look at a certain family or a certain person, Tom Smith is the largest factory owner in the United States, and the Smith family is the most powerful family in the United States.
And Tom Smith's control over the family is much higher than the control of the patriarch in the old Yankee family.
If there really is a strongman to unify the United States, Tom Smith is the first person to deserve only from the current performance.
But Silves did not agree to Tom Smith at the first time, and promised to work with Tom Smith to complete Tom's proposal to unify the United States and make American employees live a better life.
After listening to Tom Smith's demagogic words that did make some sense throughout the train, Silves did not answer, and did not even respond to Tom's behavior.
Silves walked out of Smith Farm with senior executives from the American Staff Federation and President Carl of the Texas Staff Federation.
After the group walked out of Smith's farm, Silves began to think about Tom Smith's words.
Silves had been to Europe before, had been involved in European employee activities, and knew that the situation faced by employees in Europe was even more dire.
Compared with the United States, European countries are plagued by the possibility of invasion by their neighbors at any time, so the rulers of European countries can use the war threat theory to threaten employees with overtime.
"How can you build a strong German/Tsarist/British/Spanish empire without working hard?"
】
"Do you want to go back to the days when you were ridden on the head by your neighbors and blessed with power?"
"They will kill you, and then take over your wives and daughters, and if you don't work overtime until you work twenty hours a day, you will be invaded by neighbors!"
When Silves was in Europe to exchange and learn with the senior management of the local staff federation and gather together, some factory owners used this excuse to force employees to work overtime.
According to the executives of the European Staff Confederation, in the former Netherlands, local employees worked more than 20 hours a day.
The most horrific Dutch factories even make employees work twenty-two hours a day,
During that time, life expectancy in the Netherlands fell below 20 years.
If Europe is a unified country, will more European employees stand up and join Mr. Ma?
In addition to the situation of employees in various European countries, Silves, as the organizer, advocate, and first president of the American Staff Federation, also knows how much division there is within the American Staff Federation.
Railroad employees have a railroad fraternity that speaks up for their jobs, and they are more concerned about the welfare of the railroad industry in which they work than they are concerned about the welfare of all employees.
It's not just all walks of life that are pitted against each other by the different branches within the American Staff Federation.
Even within the Railroad Brotherhood, there is a special Drivers' Association, which is dedicated to the welfare of the railroad drivers.
These experiences, which are more extensive than those of other executives of the American Staff Federation, have made Silves understand the meaning of Tom's words better than other senior executives of the American Staff Federation.
According to Tom's theory, as long as the United States and the world are truly unified, it can indeed make the working class gain more social resources.
The enjoyment of off-production, the population of the blood-sucking class has decreased, and the world's materials cannot disappear, so these materials can indeed only flow to the employee class.
Silves now increasingly embraces in his mind the theories of his factory owner's enemy, Tom Smith.
If nothing else, if the American Workers' Federation can be truly unified, Silves firmly believes that this unified American Employees' Federation, if it follows Mr. Ma's theory, will be able to overcome all difficulties and defeat the evil factory owners in the United States.
A group of people with different hearts and minds walked to the headquarters of the Texas Staff Federation in Houston.
The headquarters of the Texas Employees Union is a small, independent three-story building,
From the outside, this small reinforced concrete building is very strange, it is luxurious and luxurious, and it is not as luxurious and luxurious as other buildings built by the surrounding heroine company.
It can be said to be a poor place, but the shining transparent glass and the wooden furniture that can be seen through the glass make this place not quite like a poor and clean place.
It's just that now the executives of the American Staff Federation have no time to pay attention to the lack of poverty in this building.
After Carl assigned a room for the executives of the American Staff Federation to rest, he returned to his room to look for his Britney.
Sil Maintenance is thinking about the future of all employees in the United States.
Carl doesn't know what messy employee status and welfare, he only knows that he was a screw-twisting employee a few years ago, and now he is a real man with two sweethearts in his arms and having fun.
So what is Tom doing?
Like a madman, Tom rushed to Smith's clinic wearing a heavy hazmat suit and holding a "possible respiratory version of cholera that spreads through the respiratory tract."
As soon as Tom entered the Smith Clinic, he walked straight to the director's office.
After entering the director's office, the director was also working a research report that had not yet been written.
Like a penguin, Tom grabbed the arms of the director of Smith Medicine with his rubber hands, and while shaking the arms of the director, he asked him anxiously:
"Isn't cholera spread from water sources, food excrement?"
"Why is it airborne again?"
The director was also busy with this mutated germ, and the report he was writing was also a research report on this new type of mutant germ.
The director stroked his messy hair, pushed his eyes again, and said to Tom:
"It's not this strain found in the wild, it's a patient we received, and in our lab, he mutated this strange mutant strain in his body."
