Chapter 284 Untouched Core Interests
The powerful momentum of the workers' unions in the Baylor Federation stems from their role in mediating/controlling labor-management relations.

When the workers are powerful, they will stand on the side of the capitalists to help the capitalists suppress the workers. This is easy to do. As long as more cheap labor is provided to the capitalists, those workers who want to make trouble Can only bow to the workers union.

When the capitalists are powerful, they only need to create a few strikes when these capitalists rush to work, which is enough to make the capitalists agree to all the conditions they put forward without hesitation.

After all, the loss of a breach of contract is not just a business, but also all costs and huge compensation.

The workers' union has many ways to check and balance the relationship between labor and capital, which is why the largest faction in the Socialist Party is the faction of workers' representatives.

These are the voices of the working class across the Commonwealth, not loud enough, but notable enough.

But if Lynch skipped the workers’ union, skipped the special link of the factory, directly connected with the workers, and upgraded the workers to start-up small workshop owners, labor relations would no longer exist, and the workers’ union would have no value in existence. .

It is impossible for the workers' union to bear such consequences and risk agreeing to Lynch's request, and this is precisely the biggest reliance of the workers' union. They control the choice tendencies of the entire federal workers.

When they send staff to convince all workers that a certain thing is a capitalist conspiracy, these workers who have no higher education, some even can read and write normally, and do not master more culture can easily fall into lies middle.

Add a few strikes, some free fried chicken and beer, and they can make everything unresponsive, and they're used to controlling workers like this, and workers are used to being dominated like this.

Before that, though, these union managements, who claimed to represent federal workers and speak for the working class, raised a somewhat ambiguous question about whether unions played a role.

This is a kind of temptation close to Chiguoguo, and at the same time, the president of the workers' union is emphasizing the bottom line of him and the entire union.

No matter what Lynch does, there must always be a link in it that has something to do with the workers' unions. Only in this way can the unions continue to perform their power and functions, and continue to use the power of tens of millions of working class to realize their desire for wealth, appeal to politics.

Lynch smiled slightly. Looking at the gentlemen who were either pretending to be calm or smiling, he suddenly thought of the dog his neighbor kept in the yard.

That's a funny dog, he'll put on a wacky grin to every resident, tongue out and grin, but he'll also grin at all the community workers and even bark and punch sometimes work.

This is a dog with intelligence. It knows how to survive. Seeing these people in front of him, Lynch couldn't help but think of that dog.

He pursed his lips, "You know, I'm still young, I still plan to study, I still have a lot of things to manage, I can't find every suitable family to take my order, I need someone to help me at this point."

"Pick out the right families who need help, let them have a short-term training, and then assign them any or orders. In the end, these things are best stored in a specific place."

"And all I have to do is see these things and pay for them. Am I clear enough?"

Several union members communicated with each other with their eyes, and the president finally smiled noncommittally, "We need to have a meeting to discuss, Mr. Lynch, we need to talk to some professionals about whether these things are appropriate, and Legal, you know, there are things we think are right that we're wrong."

There was an obvious change in the chairman's attitude, and he began to use some boring routines to deal with Lynch again, but at this moment, his words were not completely perfunctory.

In fact, during the negotiation process, there will be roughly three different attitudes. The first one is firmly opposed. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to further discuss a certain issue on the issue of scale, and it will not continue at all. Discussed.

The second attitude is strongly in favor. This attitude will use the reason of "if we can achieve our intention" to continue to explore some deeper issues and release a clearer signal.

The third type is somewhat ambiguous, maybe it is possible, maybe it is not. It seems that this attitude is vacillating, giving people a feeling that it is difficult to guess, but it is not.

Because if they really want to refuse, they will not show this attitude. Just like now, if Lynch said that he would directly block the workers' union, these people would probably ask him to leave with a straight face and tell him that if he If you don't leave, these people will call security.

If you don't refuse, you must affirm. This may not work in other matters, but in the matter of negotiation, it is very possible.

The so-called discussion was just a formality, and then they discussed how to get more benefits, discussed some of their own initiative advantages in this cooperation, and then talked with Lynch.

This kind of negotiation can't be concluded in a day. Lynch agreed with the other party's request. They briefly talked about some small details, agreed on the time for the next negotiation, and separated.

Negotiations can be very long or very short. For example, during the armistice negotiations of this world war, all the bilateral allies sat down. Before they could say a word, the foreign minister of Gafla directly tore up the He read the document in front of him, said a few inappropriate swear words and clamored that the war would not end, and then left with a shake of his hand.

This negotiation lasted less than a hundred seconds, but every country has prepared for it for a week.

Lynch, who came out of the labor union, knew that this matter was basically concluded, and the rest was just the atmosphere they created to show that this was a tough negotiation, and they wanted to get more from Lynch by the way. There are many benefits.

This was indeed the case. As soon as Lynch left, the president of the workers' union closed the door and held a small meeting.

"What do you think?" The president of the labor union didn't have many smiles on his face. The moment the door was closed, there was a kind of majesty that others could not resist.

Those who can sit in this position are not ordinary people. For Mr. President, he can almost be promoted to become a politician as long as he goes one step further. He also has the qualities of an ordinary politician.

The person sitting next to him coughed, "I don't think the problem is too big. We always hold the initiative. If Lynch shows discord with us, we can use the tricks to deal with those capitalists. Deal with him!"

What else can be used to deal with capitalists? Strikes, demonstrations, marches, environmental agency investigations, public pressure from some human rights organizations, trade unions have many ways.

It's just that the president frowned slightly, "This matter is not as simple as imagined. In the past, the workers would stand by us because we can protect their 'legitimate rights', but this time the people we have to face It’s not the same as it used to be.”

He sat back slightly, with one hand still pressing on the table and fiddling with a pen, "In the past, we could use various legal rules to restrain both parties. When the workers wanted to make trouble, we gave cheap labor to the capitalists, and the capitalists When we want to turn the tables, we come up with those legal clauses, and we always have a way to make both sides obedient, Lynch is different."

"He has no employment relationship with those workers. In other words, we cannot use existing legal provisions as a weapon to restrain his behavior. When he is dissatisfied, all his behavior will turn into our pressure."

The president directly dropped the pen in his notebook, "For example, if he suddenly terminated the cooperation, the workers immediately lost their employment opportunities. This time is different from before. We can't make him face a huge amount of money through lawsuits or something." Compensation, forcing him to choose to accept our request."

"He can ignore us, because there is nothing we can do about him. I believe there is no law that can solve our problems, and we will become the hostile target of those 'cooperative workshops'."

"If Lynch pushes it again, these people will think that we made them lose the order. In the end, they may find us in trouble, and we have no good way to deal with him."

The person sitting next to the president also frowned, "Are we going to reject him later?"

"Rejected?" The president was stunned for a moment, "Of course not, we promised him, although we can't occupy a favorable position in the cooperation between Lynch and those workers, at least we are not without gains."

"Moreover, Lynch's model is limited to light industries with little technical content. This is also where our management is weakest. We can cooperate with him!"

Many industries in the light industry are low-tech and low-threshold jobs. Some can start working after simple training. More importantly, many small and medium-sized light industry companies have very loose management of employees, and they will not sign any formal long-term contracts. Employment contracts.

When there are orders, these small and medium-sized enterprises will expand the number of workers, and after the orders are completed, they will lay off those temporary workers, so the intensity of labor union management of these enterprises is not very high.

The labor unions really have control over those large enterprises and factories with technical thresholds, as well as heavy industries. These industries are significantly more dependent on workers than light industrial enterprises without technical thresholds. The workers are stable and the proportion of skilled jobs is relatively high. .

These workers are also more inclined to cooperate with the labor union, because they also know very well that if they want to win better treatment from the capitalists, they must let the labor union speak for themselves.

Anyway, they couldn't get much benefit in the first place, but now Lynch's conditions are beneficial to the trade union. Why don't they agree?
