Atlantic Business Machines' three factories, codenamed a1, a2, and a3, have all entered a state of shutdown.
Employees who did not enter the factory to work within the stipulated time have all been fired in accordance with the contract and relevant legal responsibilities will be pursued.
The union chose to fight to the end. They never believed that Atlantic Business Machines would give up hundreds of billions of dollars in profits to fight the union to the end.
This is just a trick played by the capitalists, and in the end, compromise is required.
Who would have known that what happened next caught all the union members off guard.
Security guards flew in from Boston and took over the factory. All employees who did not enter within the specified time were fired and received formal dismissal documents with a lawyer's letter.
Atlantic Business Machines' toughness surprised everyone, and the union was even more confused.
The IBM production plant, home to the Computer Union, was surrounded by a large number of angry unemployed workers and was forced to suspend production.
The incident became more and more serious. Hundreds of New York State Police were dispatched to maintain order, and major political figures also came forward to mediate.
more than ten days later
Mr. Chambers made a strong statement on behalf of Atlantic Business Machines. All fired employees can go to the A1 factory to sign new contracts within three days.
The new employment contract stipulates that workers will never be allowed to join any trade union organization, otherwise they will bear high liability for breach of contract. The relevant liability clauses are very detailed and there is no loophole to exploit.
As long as you sign the contract, your salary and benefits will remain the same as before, and you will not be held legally responsible for previous breaches of contract.
This is the result of strong mediation by many politicians, and the capital side is doing what is good and is open-minded.
After all, the sudden loss of thousands of jobs in Armonk has a huge impact. It affects thousands of families, and it is self-evident that it will have an impact on the consumption and public security of the entire city.
Unionists think otherwise:
Accepting the employer's demands means that the union will be completely expelled from the factory and will no longer be able to cause trouble. This is something the union will never tolerate.
The employer's stance was considered by the union to be a strategic step back and the result of the union's struggle on behalf of the workers. It meant that the employer could not bear the huge losses caused by the shutdown of the factory and compromised.
This is just a trick played by the management. As long as you persist a little longer, victory will be right in front of you.
As a result, the computer trade union regrouped and assigned dedicated personnel to divide the work into separate units to persuade the workers not to return to work. They resolutely resisted to the end and deployed a large number of manpower to prevent workers from entering the factory.
Deadline of three days
There are less than 2,400 workers who have actually signed contracts. Atlantic Business Machines Company officially opened the A2 factory production line, and a large number of trucks entered the other two factories.
All kinds of large-scale equipment are continuously loaded into containers and transported to the New York Port pier, followed by the giant ship amidst the roar of the whistle.
At this time, all the union members were dumbfounded.
Damn it, the factories are all vacated and there are still bullshit job opportunities! There’s no way to resume work.
Only then did the union leaders discover a more serious problem. Their actions directly caused 5,900 workers to be laid off.
How to deal with it?
Originally, the workers did a good job, with good income and good treatment. When Y saw the factory profits rolling in, he became jealous and insisted on mobilizing the workers to go on strike to seek greater benefits.
The employer once again gave me the last chance, but you stopped me from resuming work, and you eloquently urged everyone to fight to the end.
This is good, beat the odds.
The pockmarks are not called pockmarks, they are called deceitful.
As a result, the Computer Industry Union at the IBM factory was once again besieged by thousands of unemployed workers, and the workers' frustration erupted like a volcano.
The location of the union was smashed into a mess, and the agitated workers rushed into the production workshop and vandalized and looted, venting their extreme anger.
If you don't make it easy for me, everyone will leave.
The protest turned into a riot at some point, and the scene was in chaos.
I don't know who set the fire, which actually ignited the flammable chemicals. The IBM motherboard factory with an investment of more than 3 billion US dollars suddenly fell into a sea of fire.
The fire raged for two days, turning half the sky red and reducing the modern factory to rubble. This scene was repeatedly reported on all American TV networks and became a sensational event.
The board of directors of IBM Corporation is in tears. Can anyone tell me what's going on?
What an unnecessary disaster!
Now it's all over, the motherboard factory was burned down, Big Blue's huge production chain was suddenly interrupted, and it was no longer able to supply branded computers to the market.
Seriously, what role did IBM play in this strike?
Whether or not he is as innocent as he claimed is still a matter of debate.
These workers were originally from IBM factories, and some even have veteran workers with more than 20 years of working experience. IBM, the blue giant, has considerable influence on this factory, including the labor union.
Is it possible to do such a disgusting thing by secretly inciting and attacking an opponent?
Haha, you can't just talk without evidence.
Be careful, you may be accused of slander!
Under the double blow, the American market is extremely short of computer products. Oppo brand computers have randomly increased their prices by 15%, and their products are still being snapped up.
Atlantic Business Machines Company saw the opportunity. On the one hand, it increased the output of its own motherboard factory. On the other hand, it quickly invested in a large number of motherboard production equipment and prepared to build a new motherboard factory in the A1 and A3 factories in Armonk City, which can provide 8,000
jobs.
Recruit IBM's experienced staff locally to seize the remaining market gaps.
New York State strongly welcomes this, and IBM cannot stop it, nor can it catch up with its competitors.
It would take half a year to clean out the original factory site that had been burned to rubble, let alone build a new factory. It would be quick to complete it in two years.
The American computer industry simply cannot wait until that time, and a large number of supporting companies will collapse one after another. They still need orders from Atlantic Business Machines.
In mid-July, Atlantic Business Machines and Intel reached a strategic cooperation to use each other's x86 architecture 586 chips to produce computer motherboards.
Immediately afterwards, long-term cooperation contracts were signed with other parts manufacturers one after another, tightly holding the supply chain of the blue giant IBM in its hands.
A large number of expensive machines and equipment have entered New York Port from all over the world. After appropriate modifications, the original factory buildings can be directly installed with production lines.
It is expected that the new computer motherboard factory will be officially operational in early November.
All employees entering the site must sign a contract with no union clauses. The relevant terms and details are quite harsh, and violators will be subject to heavy fines and legal liability.
The storm gradually faded away.
End of July
Atlantic Business Machines Company has reached OEM production agreements with foreign manufacturers Lenovo and Fujitsu to provide 1 million computer products to the market every month.
The mold equipment dismantled from the two factories a1a3 will be sent to the above two companies as quickly as possible. It is expected that new products will be available in mid-August to satisfy the market demand.
The computer production line equipment of the two factories will be sent to the Huaizhou City Phase III Project Factory for debugging and production.
Originally, the Huaizhou production base already had a mold production plant, so there was no need for additional mold production equipment. It only needed to expand production and supply.
Oppo brand computers solved the production capacity crisis in just two months and soon embarked on the right track of sustainable development.
Among them, CEO Chambers' strong leadership played a crucial role in guiding the huge enterprise to successfully survive the crisis.
He also saw huge opportunities in the crisis and decisively invested huge sums of money to build a computer motherboard factory, which won praise from politicians and business people and was also popular in Armonk City.
After all, tens of thousands of people have regained their jobs, and employees must always maintain the minimum respect for their employers.
As for the union issue, no one wants to mention it anymore. Now, the computer industry union is like a rat crossing the street. It is hated by the workers, spurned by the management, and almost everyone wants to be beaten.
Leading trade unions to fight against employers is to get better working conditions and reasonable remuneration, not to ruin their own jobs.
If so, the workers are really stupid.
After experiencing strikes, dozens of workers were arrested and jailed during the riots, and faced serious prosecution charges. The reputation of the computer industry union was completely ruined, and no one was willing to follow these people's nonsense anymore.
