More and more people in the izakaya began to talk about the reorganization of the steel industry in Wakayama City. In terms of position, it is divided into three factions.

One faction is to express unequivocal support. This is mainly due to the majority of young people in the steel industry, who also know that the local steel industry has been declining for a long time.

If there is no radical change, sooner or later it will be over. They have a huge age advantage, so they are not afraid of the uncertainty that comes with restructuring.

Their idea is simple and simple, even a new steel plant needs people. I really can't get mixed up, so I go out to work. It's nothing more than going to Osaka closer and Tokyo farther away.

One faction is to express unequivocal opposition. Most of them are middle-aged and elderly people in the steel industry. Not only do they not have any advantage in terms of age, but they also have a clear disadvantage in physical strength.

Once you are unemployed, if you want to get a job, you can't fight for young people. Any factory, especially a heavy industry like a steel mill, tends to recruit young people, but what about those who actively tend to recruit middle-aged and elderly people?

Not only that, but they generally have their own families here in Wakayama City. Even if he lives alone, he has been married and has children. Alimony, alimony, they still have to pay more or less.

Packing their bags, leaving their hometown, and wandering alone alone is definitely the next step for them, after all, they are not young for a long time. Even if you go out to work, you may not be able to make any money.

It's not that they don't know, they need education, they don't have education, they want skills, they don't have skills, and in the end they are not only able to engage in simple manual labor work.

It's not official, it's just a temporary worker. It also means that there is no guarantee, and if you say you don't want it, you don't want it directly. Therefore, they would rather accept the factory to survive than take the initiative to accept change.

One more day of delay would be better for them. At the very least, it is closer to the day of official personal retirement. In addition, the compensation will also be a little more in the future.

One faction is an ambiguous centrist. Their main group has little to do with age, but it has to do with their career. Although they are not directly involved in the steel industry, they are indirectly related to the steel industry.

The owner of this izakaya and the clerks belong to this faction. If Wakayama's pillar industries cease to exist, their business will inevitably plummet.

At that time, closing doors will also become an inevitable trend. On the other hand, as long as Wakayama City's spending industry is still there, their business will not be bad.

I can't say how good it will be, but there is definitely a possibility that it will be maintained. These three factions stand from the perspective of their own interests, resulting in different attitudes and stances towards the same matter.

On this night, Mitsuki Kudo and Shuichi Kudo moved to several izakayas. The two heard the locals talk about this one thing, and that's what happened.

They walked out of one tavern and didn't plan to go to the next, but walked side by side on the way back to the Karuizawa Hotel.

Kudo Shuichi sighed with emotion and said, "The situation is similar to what you expected, sister!" It seems that everyone is not monolithic! ”

Mitsuki Kudo was not complacent and said, "Human nature. Who is the species that seeks the good and avoids the harm? ”

Shu Kudo has always said: "In the early stage, it was a remarkable achievement to bring targeted public opinion propaganda to the people of Wakayama City. If it weren't for this, we wouldn't have achieved such a good effect. ”

Mitsuki Kudo said eloquently: "We are all young people, so we naturally understand the feelings of young people who want to change. On top of that, they desperately want to make more money.

With money, you can buy everything you want, live a better quality of life, and make life more interesting.

However, the current socio-economic environment is not friendly to young Japanese people. Especially for ordinary young migrant workers.

As long as we can provide them with more stable jobs, better incomes, good working conditions, etc., we are not afraid that they will not work hard.

Let them themselves understand the most obvious truth, if they don't do it themselves, there are people lining up to come in and do it. In addition, as long as you do a good job, you can change from a temporary worker to a permanent worker.

It also means that in the future, he can also be promoted from an ordinary regular member to a team leader, workshop director, or even a higher position.

For these people, there is a bottom-up passage and staircase. This is one of the principles that Dad has always pursued throughout the Karuizawa Group, so that everyone has the opportunity to achieve bottom-up. ”

While agreeing, Shuichi Kudo also raised his concerns: "Although the attitude of young people here is generally supportive, there are many middle-aged and elderly people who oppose it.

The latter, once united, is also a force to be reckoned with. This will also be a resistance to our efforts to promote the reform of the steel industry here. ”

Mitsuki Kudo said thoughtfully: "This question is indeed a bit tricky. Nine times out of ten, the new steel plant will not recruit middle-aged and elderly people when it comes to recruiting new employees.

On the one hand, they accept new things far less than young people, learn new things slowly, and even have rejection in their hearts, on the other hand, physical strength, energy, etc. are showing a downward trend.

In particular, if there is any problem with concentration and concentration, it is difficult to ensure that it will not cause a work-related injury. This is not a good thing for us as an employer.

Of course, this excepts those who have excellent skills. However, most of the people who are not employed by the new steel plant will have to make other arrangements. There are not so many jobs suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, such as security guards.

It is possible to drive a car and be related to logistics and transportation. It is still necessary to establish some subsidiary enterprises supporting the new steel plant. Otherwise, there will be no more than that many people to accommodate. What's more, these people are also one of the sources of votes for your future politics. ”

Kudo Shuichi asked purposefully: "Sister, if you do it according to your idea, it will be tantamount to increasing the cost of reorganization." Dad, will you agree? ”

Mitsuki Kudo said seriously: "Dad's side, I will be responsible for explaining and explaining, so you don't have to worry about it." Even if Dad is held accountable in the future, I will do my best.

What you have to do now is to play a good role as a pro-people person in politics in the future, especially in dealing with the middle-aged and elderly people.

They are most concerned about their future work. Therefore, you should work hard in this area to win their favor and support.

You won't be able to become mayor of Wakayama City for a while, but you won't have a problem being elected as the next city councilor. ”
