"I'm afraid this is a bit troublesome." Andrew said, "They are very smart. Most of those taking the lead are workers in important operating positions. If we fire them, our factory will not be able to produce on schedule."
In such a large industrial park, the loss of a day's suspension of production would be huge, and the other party was sure that they would not dare to do this.
"Then change." Meng Xiaobai said, "There must not be a second management organization in this industrial park!"
"Change?" Everyone present was in a dilemma. It took only a few months to train these skilled workers, and there were not many people available from the country.
Meng Xiaobai continued: "I will ask people from the Deep Space Technology Industrial Robot Laboratory to come over, and our first batch of industrial robots will be used here. At that time, you will coordinate with each other to ensure production. Those who have second thoughts will be fired.
"
…
As the day for the union's vote to establish the union grew closer, Herbert and Rogerim became more active, building momentum in the factory every day.
Meng Xiaobai heard that they also invited some workers' leaders to attend cocktail parties and hold parties. Then these people organized workers' activities in the factory. Every day in the factory, workers disobeyed management.
Meng Xiaobai's car drove into the Deep Space Technology Electronics Industrial Park again. At the door, he saw a group holding signs holding a rally.
“Unionize!”
“Workers self-manage!”
“Boycott bad manufacturers!”
"We want freedom!"
Those who advocated for the rally were wearing colorful clothes with union logos painted on their bodies, and local news media were interviewing them.
When every worker comes to work, they hand out brochures to ask workers to support the union.
"Sir, may I ask why you are launching such an activity?" A reporter from a local TV station was interviewing a leader. His name is Aiqi, a welder at the Deep Space Technology Electronics Industrial Park.
He is very prestigious among the workers here, and everyone even thinks that after the union is established, he should be elected as the president.
According to Meng Xiaobai's information channels, this person was one of Rojem's key bribe targets, and Rojem promised him many benefits.
"Of course it's for the rights of the workers!" Ai Qi said righteously, "Our workers have been treated unfairly here, and the Chinese bosses here ignore our rights, so we must set up a trade union to protect our rights.
Our own rights! This is the right given to us by the law..."
He spoke impassionedly, as if Deep Space Technology was a black-hearted enterprise that illegally exploited workers.
Meng Xiaobai didn't need to think about it to know how the media would report it. But he was no longer worried about this, because this person and the insiders would soon be eliminated.
Deep Space Technology's industrial robots have arrived today and will replace these people in their work.
…
The industrial park needed to debug new equipment and give the workers three days off. But instead of going on a trip, the workers gathered together to discuss union matters.
"When we set up a trade union tomorrow, we won't have to be controlled by those Chinese people!" someone said excitedly.
Some people are also very worried: "What if we are fired? It's not easy to have such a good job opportunity..."
"Brother, don't worry!" Aiqi patted him on the shoulder. "As long as the union is established, whoever they want to fire must get the consent of the union! I swear to everyone here that the union will never fire anyone.
Worker!"
"As long as everyone supports the union, we will gain more! When the union is established, the first plan I plan to submit is to ask them to give us a salary increase, double it!"
After Aiqi finished speaking, everyone cheered.
"All brothers and sisters! Don't be afraid, Vice President Roger Jim of the Ohio Federation of Workers will strongly support us! The Labor Relations Commission will also be on our side! Let the Chinese people go to hell! This industry
This garden belongs to us!" Aiqi continued to shout.
Three days later, the workers went to work again.
Wherever Aiqi went, people greeted him, and some even called him "president." In their hearts, the union was bound to be established.
"Aiqi, come with me." Andrew found him, and everyone looked at Aiqi. They all knew that the management was very dissatisfied with Aiqi.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a chat, how dare they fire me?" Aiqi felt confident. The people behind him told him that as long as Deep Space Technology dared to fire him, they would immediately help him sue Deep Space Technology and give them a sum of money.
While imposing a large fine, he also sought more compensation for him.
In the office, Andrew said to Aiqi seriously: "Aiqi, I have warned you many times. If you continue to stir up trouble among workers, you will not be welcome here."
"Stop doing this!" Aiqi said disdainfully, "Andrew, you are just a lackey of the Chinese people. This is the United States, and the Americans should make the decision in this factory! The workers should make the decision!"
Andrew looked ugly, "That's ridiculous! I don't want to waste any more time with you. Now I'm officially informing you that you've been fired!"
"Are you sure?" Aiqi sneered, "If you fire me, my lawyer will soon sue your company. And you think that if you fire me, the union will not be established? Seventy percent of the workers in the factory agree to it.
Union! I was still the president at that time!”
"Mr. Edge, I think you are too optimistic!" A blond man in a suit and tie came over and said with a smile: "Let me meet you, I am Dartmon from the anti-union consulting company. Of course we fired you for the right reasons.
Reason. Pursuant to your employment contract with Deep Space Technology and Ohio labor law... you are fired!"
"I assure you, as a professional anti-union consulting company, you have no chance of winning a lawsuit!" Damonte said with a smile.
One advantage of capitalist countries, Meng Xiaobai must admit, is that as long as you can afford the money, you can find corresponding services. For example, this anti-union consulting company has been established for decades and specializes in anti-union. Regarding labor contracts and related laws,
They know everything.
They have ten thousand ways to fire these troublemaking workers without violating local laws.
"Andrew, and your Chinese boss, you will regret it! Just wait and see!" Aiqi said harshly and left the office.
Outside, a group of workers looked at him. Aiqi sneered: "Everyone, these guys really want to fire us. He has already fired me. But don't worry, they can't fire everyone! Everyone is united and the vote the day after tomorrow must be
pass!"
"Unite!"
"Everyone!" Andrew came out and said to everyone: "How many people want to follow Aiqi?"
"I!"
"I also support the union, fire me if you dare!"
"Me too!"
"So many of us and thousands of brothers support the union!"
"Don't be afraid, everyone, the union will definitely be established!"
Aiqi looked at Andrew proudly. Now that so many workers support him, what should Andrew do?
Andrew is also having a headache. If everything is dealt with, what will happen if the construction starts? And there are so many people, they have united to protest and complain, and the Labor Relations Commission is still watching them, always ready to issue them fines...
"Those who support, please raise your hands." At this time, Meng Xiaobai came over.
These workers had been instigated for a long time, but now they were not afraid at all. They all raised their hands. There were about a hundred people in total.
Meng Xiaobai nodded and said: "The United States is a free and democratic country, and I support everyone's freedom and democracy."
The workers laughed proudly. It seemed that the Chinese boss finally understood that there was nothing he could do about them.
"So, I support your freedom to choose your job." Meng Xiaobai continued, "All workers here, I declare that you have all been fired."
"What?" All the workers present were dumbfounded. They didn't expect Meng Xiaobai to say such a thing! Isn't he really afraid that the factory will stop production? Are they complaining together?
Even Andrew was shocked. He didn't dare to say this in public.
"You're breaking the law!" Edge yelled, "You can't do this!"
"Yes, you can't fire us!" the workers shouted.
"Why not?" Meng Xiaobai sneered, "Many of you were unemployed before coming here. And our Deep Space Technology Industrial Park has given you job opportunities. Our job benefits here are almost the highest in Ohio. So
The benefits far exceed those of ordinary workers. But you are not satisfied yet and want more, and even join forces with outsiders to bankrupt the factory!"
"In this case, I don't have to be kind to you."
"As for the reason for dismissal, whether it is illegal or not. Let Dartmon explain these to you. I believe Mr. Dartmon will give you a reasonable and legal reason."
Hearing Meng Xiaobai's words, Datmon immediately smiled. This time it was really a big deal!
"He really dares!" Ai Qi was stunned. He didn't expect that Meng Xiaobai would not compromise and actually fired them all. The workers here are all leaders who want to establish a union.
If they were all fired, other workers would be afraid and refuse to unionize.
Aiqi became angry and shouted: "This matter will not end like this! You can't stop the establishment of the union. Everyone can see clearly that if the union is not established, this is what you will end up with. You will be fired at will by them!"
