Volume 2, Huang Feihong Chapter 12, Factory Reform
"How much salary can be raised!" is related to everyone's vital interests, everyone is staring at Lei Weidong, hoping that Lei Weidong can say a little higher!
"It's impossible to go up too much! After all, is this the first time?" Lei Weidong touched his chin and smiled:
"For female workers, the wages will remain the same for the first time, but how about I adjust my working hours from a 12-hour to an eight-hour workday?"
The eight-hour working day was first proposed by the socialist Robert Owen in August 1817, and in 1866, the Congress of the First International, known as the representative of Neiva, put forward the slogan "Eight hours of work, eight hours of self-control, eight hours of rest", and asked all countries to enact laws to confirm it.
But this was just a slogan, and it was not realized in any country at the time!
Even in the United States, where the economy is the most developed, it is normal for many workers to work 14 to 16 hours a day, and even some black-hearted capitalists let workers work more than 18 hours a day.
This is also the fundamental reason for the rapid development of communism in various countries!
The eight-hour work was not established in U.S. law until 1935, at the time of the Rothford New Deal.
As for our country!
State-owned enterprises and government departments strictly implement the 8-hour work system!
9 in the morning and 5 in the evening!
Closed on Saturdays and Sundays!
And private business!
Some of the larger enterprises are fine! The government has strictly investigated and does not dare to violate the law!
Not for small private companies!
The office staff is better! Implement the working hours of 8 o'clock in the morning and 5 o'clock in the evening!
As for front-line operators, it is the norm to work eleven or twelve hours!
Why do many private companies need to hire workers for many years?
It is because the working environment of front-line workers is too bad and the time is too long!
Many people can't stand it and leave directly, after all, there are too many companies that can provide jobs, why hang themselves on a tree!
"Senior brother, your eight-hour work system is unrealistic!"
"Let's not talk about the issue of personnel wages, that is, to add a group of workers, that little salary our factory can afford, mainly in our factory, there are many female workers, it is very unsafe to commute to and from work, and we must be escorted by a special person! 8 o'clock in the morning and 8 o'clock in the evening, it is okay, it is not dark yet, and the safety factor is high!
But if you change to an eight-hour workday, it's okay to work the day shift! What about the middle and night shifts! It's dangerous to commute to and from work at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night! Even if you have someone to escort you! Unless you let these people stay in the factory!"
"This! It's a problem!" Ya Chasu's words made Lei Weidong a little speechless!
The middle shift, the night shift, and the middle of the night can be said to be the most dangerous time!
It is the 21st century China, and the public security environment can be counted in the world!
That's it, the girl goes to the middle school shift, and the night shift makes the family worried!
Now how bad the public security environment on the streets of Foshan is, Lei Weidong is deeply aware of it, and it is not safe during the day, let alone at night!
Not to mention the big girl, it is a big man, a person runs out in the middle of the night, and the possibility of being knocked out is greater than 50%, such a public security environment makes it a bit unrealistic for female workers to commute at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night!
"It's me who didn't think it through!" Lei Weidong nodded and admitted that he didn't think it through!
"Since we can't shorten the working hours, let's raise the salary! Everyone should raise 30 percent of their salary! In addition, considering the fact that female workers have children! I am going to give every female worker three months of maternity leave, and the salary will be paid during the holiday. ”
Considering that the female worker went to work in the factory when she was pregnant for the sake of her family, Lei Weidong took out her maternity leave in advance.
"Of course, there are requirements, the first child is implemented according to this, the second child, the salary will be halved, and the third child will not be included after the third child. ”
"Is this pregnancy calculated based on previous children, or after entering the factory?" someone asked below.
"Calculate it after entering the factory!" Lei Weidong touched his head, knowing that if the rules and regulations were not set to death, there would be no known number of people who would take advantage of loopholes in the future!
Chinese people like to take advantage of the character, Lei Weidong has been taught!
"In addition, we built a kindergarten in the factory and invited some grandmothers, so that the female workers could put their children in the kindergarten for the grandmothers to take care of when they were working, so that they would not be able to work well because they were worried about their children!
Those looms are dangerous! If there is an accident and a day's production is delayed, the lost money will be enough for us to pay a month's salary!
In addition, let Bao Zhilin open a clinic in the factory, and everyone can go to the hospital for treatment if they are sick!"
"In addition to this, there is also food, in the past, our factory did not seem to be responsible for the workers' lunch and dinner, and the workers had to bring their own meals to work! This is not good! There is no nutrition, and the hot rice is easy to spoil! It is easy to get sick after eating, and if you get sick, you will delay production!
In order to prevent this from happening, we built a canteen in the factory, and in the future, the lunch and dinner of the morning shift workers, and the supper and breakfast of the night shift workers were covered by the factory, but the men and women were separated when they were eating, and I didn't want to make any trouble!"
Lei Weidong's words made the faces of the people below look a little weird, because the factory is a new thing, and everyone has never seen it before, so everyone is not clear about what the factory owner treats the workers!
But the second child in the restaurant, the guy in the cloth shop knows what kind of treatment everyone has!
In many places, there is no salary and just take care of the food, and it is okay to give some New Year's goods during the New Year, so there are still many people who want to work!
Because in this day and age, it is a luxury to be able to eat well!
"Manager Lei, is this what Master Huang meant?" asked one of them.
"No, that's what I meant! But I don't think Master will object! It doesn't cost a few dollars, how can you have an opinion?" Lei Weidong looked at the person who asked the question.
"No! no!" Seeing that everyone looked at themselves a little strangely, the man was trembling and wanted to slap himself!
The benefits that Lei Weidong said can be enjoyed by everyone, If you raise objections like this, in case the benefits are canceled, who will everyone go to!
"In addition to these, we must not forget the other sailor brothers! In the past, we couldn't help if we had the ability, but now we have the ability to help them!"
"Yes, I want to help!" everyone agreed.
In these years, because of the backwardness of equipment, fishermen are actually very hard!
The boat can't go to the sea, and it is just a pity that there are too few fish on the seaside, and most of the time, the fishermen are busy all day, and the harvest can only barely make a living for the family!
As for the big ships that go to the deep sea fishing, they need a lot of manpower, and they must have more than a dozen or dozens of people, and they are subject to the time limit of fishing, there are no refrigerators, no ice machines, and the weather is so hot, the fish caught cannot be frozen and will soon stink!
As for making salted fish!
The price of salt is so expensive that it frightens people to death, one or two pieces of silver can buy a hundred catties of grain, and if you buy salt, you can also buy ten catties of salt, and the price of a pound of salt is equivalent to 24 yuan of people, currency!
In 1900, one tael of silver could buy about a bag of white flour, that is, 100 catties! Two silver dollars would buy two bags of white flour, and when they were exchanged for miscellaneous grains, they would barely be enough for a family to eat and wear.
