After carefully considering these relationships, Prime Minister Bretianu called other key members of the party to discuss the matter after get off work.
"Cousin, this is a double-edged sword. If you don't do it right, you can easily offend both sides."
Prime Minister Bretianu called together his own cadres from the Liberal Party, and before he told the reason for calling them together, he was advised by his cousin Wendy Lebretianu. Now his cousin Wendy
Le serves as the interior minister in the cabinet. During his tenure, he has been promoting the formalization of the judicial system, and his abilities are recognized by the cabinet and the party.
After hearing his cousin's advice, Prime Minister Bretianu gave an explanation. "I learned about the current situation of Romanian workers with Industry Minister Carlituri today, and I am very optimistic."
Then he briefly explained the situation informed by Karaturi to others present. At the end of his speech, Prime Minister Bretianu said meaningfully. "The current situation where workers are not protected must be protected."
We, as the ruling party, have an innate responsibility to make changes. And as long as we can pass this bill, 1.7 million workers will become our party's biggest support."
After hearing Prime Minister Bretianu's words, the senior leaders of the Liberal Party present were all deep in thought. They are also very eager for the votes of the current 1.7 million workers, but they are also fully aware of the difficulties in enacting this labor protection bill.
The factories that can be opened now are all wealthy people, and they know how powerful these people are. The current Romanian economy, except for the royal family and government enterprises, relies entirely on them to maintain it.
Seeing everyone sitting silently, Prime Minister Bretianu could only hint, "If we promote the implementation of this bill, the royal family will not be an obstacle."
After hearing the words of the Prime Minister and the party leader, the eyes of the senior Liberal Party leaders present brightened, and everyone mentally calculated that the hope of success in this matter had increased to more than 60%.
"If this is the case, then the possibility of the labor protection bill mentioned by the Prime Minister is greatly increased, and I think it can be done now."
Anton Lev, who serves as Minister of Education in the government cabinet and is also the right-hand man of the Prime Minister, expressed his support for the Prime Minister.
"But this will also offend those factory owners. If it fails to achieve the expected results, it will cause a lot of harm to us."
There are those who are in favor and those who are against it. As the head of the Liberal Party in Moldavia, Mikotic expressed his worries. The senior leaders of the Liberal Party here looked at each other. They are not three-year-olds. They only see success after success.
On the other hand, I am worried about the worries after failure.
Seeing that people belonging to his own group were worried, Bretianu, as Prime Minister, couldn't stand it anymore. "Are you too obsessed with your own and the party's interests? We are the Romanian Liberal Party, and our purpose is to serve Romania."
Seeking the welfare of the people. Now look at what you look like. You are all worried about everything. How can you make people believe that our Liberal Party will work for the welfare of the Romanian people?"
After being severely criticized by the leader of the party, Prime Minister Bretianu, the senior leaders of the Liberal Party sitting here were a little embarrassed. They knew that this was because they were too concerned about profit and loss. For the groups that really need help now, they did not do anything when they were in power.
If they seek benefits, they will lose the trust and expectations of these people. They will also stay away from the expectations of Jan C. Bretianu and others who founded the Liberal Party.
"I'm sorry that I was too obsessed with gains and losses before. Now is indeed the time to work hard for the interests of the Romanian people."
As Mikotic finished speaking, others expressed their willingness to support the Prime Minister's move.
Seeing that everyone was expressing their opinions because of his anger, Bratianu continued to talk regardless of them. "Then we will discuss a specific outline here today, and then we will think about and change it one by one."
Not mentioning the issue of the labor bill discussed by the Prime Minister, Karaturi is now telling his uncle Stuart about what he said to the Prime Minister today.
After Stuart stepped down from the position of Prime Minister, he stayed at home playing with flowers and plants and taking care of his grandson every day, living a very leisurely life. However, no one would ignore this old man who has been able to hold the office of Prime Minister for ten years, his nephew Karatu
Li also likes to run to him when there is nothing wrong, and informs him of many things in the government. Now that Karaturi is talking about this matter to his uncle, it is obvious that he hopes to get advice from this old man who was once the most powerful man in Romania.
After listening to Karaturi's story, Sturrier put down his flower-trimming tools and said, "This shouldn't be his idea."
Hearing his uncle's words, Karatuli asked in confusion, "Why?"
Looking at his nephew, he stretched and said, "Because this is not his style, and I know him well. Bratianu has always been a man who always pays attention to making plans before taking action. Today I asked you about the situation.
The thing you came up with is not in line with his style, so someone needs to ask him to do it."
Hearing his uncle's words, Karaturi immediately knew who was behind this matter. There was only one person who could make the Prime Minister do things. It seemed that the government and the party needed to cooperate with the Prime Minister on this matter.
Karaturi is making decisions in her heart.
Seeing the suddenly enlightened Karaturi, Sturrier shook his head secretly in his heart. His nephew was still too politically sensitive, so he would not be able to serve as Prime Minister. Unless he was willing to be a puppet, there would be no chance.
.
That night, Prime Minister Bretianu discussed the labor bill with his confidants and allies, focusing on making detailed plans to ensure the payment of labor benefits and salaries. The key point is that the salary of the current month can only be deferred for a maximum of 15 days, and the deduction cannot exceed
10% of the salary must also be justified. Of course, there are also regulations on insulting and beating workers. At this time, Bretianu discovered that there was no department dedicated to protecting workers in the government, and he was also planning to apply to King Edel I for a special
Create a Ministry of Labor and at the same time bring together the scattered trade unions in various industries into the Romanian Confederation of Labor under this new ministry.
Looking at the draft that gathered everyone's opinions, Prime Minister Bretianu felt that he still had to face many tests. The most recent of which was the approval of the Liberal Party's internal meeting before it could be submitted to the parliament for a vote, and finally the king's signature for implementation.
.
In fact, at the internal meeting of the Liberal Party in the following days, this proposal was easily passed. Except for a small number of people who had different opinions, everyone else recognized this proposal. Among them, the one with the greatest contribution after the Prime Minister was the industrial
A faction headed by Minister Karaturi.
After receiving support from within the Liberal Party, the Prime Minister submitted this bill to Parliament for review. As expected, the submission of this bill made the factory owners complain, and no one wanted to use part of their profits to subsidize workers.
Subsequently, this bill was also intensively discussed in parliament. Members in favor said that this was a good way to improve the living environment of workers and seek legitimate interests for the working class. Those who opposed said that this would allow Romania to flourish.
The economy may be sluggish. The two groups disagreed with each other in the parliamentary debate. However, in the final vote, 98 of the 157 votes were in favor, only 57 were against, and 2 abstained. The vote was higher than 60
% of the bill submission rules were implemented, and after the Prime Minister submitted it to Eder for signature, Romania's first labor protection bill was implemented.
In this initial labor bill, it was clarified for the first time that the relationship between workers and enterprises is employment and being employed, and enterprise owners are not allowed to harm, imprison, or insult workers. Moreover, Article 3 of the bill also stipulates in terms of remuneration.
It is stated that the salary of the current month cannot be delayed for more than 15 days. At the same time, it is also the first time that the minimum salary standard in Romania is 90 lei per month. Although the form is greater than the reality, it also foreshadows future modifications. Among them, employee holidays must not be less than 4
If you work more than 9 hours a day, you will need to pay additional wages.
With the implementation of this bill, the workers are also rejoicing and are extremely grateful to Prime Minister Bretianu who proposed this bill. The prestige of this prime minister is also well recognized among the people, and some people call him "
"People's Prime Minister". This also made him excited, thinking that this was the right step for him.
Edel has seen everything the prime minister has done, but now is not the time to think about the prime minister. He is more concerned about the guarantee of Romania's neutrality and the issue of the army.
