1667 What Would You Do?

"The taste is not that amazing, but you can feel the simplest enjoyment it brings us!"

Mr. Trueman took a big spoonful, his cheeks bulging as he spoke.

I have to say, he is right. The taste is not that great, but everyone likes it!

This is a port, and there are too many heavy manual workers on the port. For these people, what they need is such a feeling of fullness, as well as more fat and carbohydrates.

These can effectively help them overcome fatigue at work and persevere until the end of the day!

They don't need all kinds of spices, they don't need those fancy cooking skills, they just need to fill their stomachs with meat and fat, and wheat kernels, that's all!

Heavy oil, combined with dry steamed wheat kernels, it’s simply amazing!

The two of them had not been dining here for long, and this was not the place to talk. Some people had already recognized Mr. Trueman, but they did not come over to disturb him.

On the one hand, people in the Federation attach great importance to privacy and freedom. Everyone does not want their own lives to be disturbed, and naturally they will not take the initiative to disturb other people's work and lives.

To put it more generally, they actually care that their rash actions will cause trouble for others.

Secondly, those who are not easy to mess with will not be given the opportunity to get too close to the President. These people are very professional security personnel and are said to have a license to kill. No one would want to offend them!

Well, this is a very common joke that reaches a wide audience.

There is a very interesting thing.

People in the federal government will always subconsciously smear the federal government in various ways, including these so-called "licenses to kill." People always believe that some privileged people have the right to legally kill people.

Putting aside the fact that this knowledge itself is the biggest challenge to federal justice, even if it really exists, how can ordinary people know about it?

This is nothing more than a conspiracy theory by those who are always malicious towards the federal government. They always find a way to make the federal government look like an axis of evil!

When leaving, the shop owner made a small request. He hoped to take a photo with the President.

From the moment Mr. Trueman and Lynch arrived, the store owner ran out excitedly to find someone to borrow a camera.

But this is not a commercial district or an amusement park, and no one has such a thing as a camera.

Fortunately, he had some contact with the people in the port management office, and through them, he was able to borrow a camera.

The owner's request was not excessive, and Mr. Trueman agreed without much thought.

And this is actually another feature of federal society.

Federal politicians at least will not show a superior attitude in life, even if this person is the president of the Federation!

Yes, most politicians will not refuse when faced with reasonable demands from the people, and even if they refuse, they will do so politely.

There are some idiots in this group, but there are more similar people.

Because everyone knows that power comes from the people!

A politician who emphasizes the class gap between himself and the people will only make people abandon him.

If they cannot get the support of public opinion and votes, the capitalists will not use such people.

In such a cruel environment, politicians have long known how to face the people!

Moreover, leaving photos will not harm Mr. Trueman's image in any way. On the contrary, it will make people think that he is an easy-to-approach person.

"Prepare……"

The owner of the shop gave a thumbs up and smiled broadly. Mr. Trueman twitched and pulled Lynch over who was watching the excitement.

"You won't mind if Lynch joins us..."

he asked.

The shop owner was so happy that his big yellow teeth were exposed, "Of course not, Mr. President!"

The moment the flash flashed, time seemed to freeze at this moment!

In the negative, Mr. Trueman puts his arm around Lynch's shoulders, and both men are laughing...

After declining the boss's offer of a treat and paying ten dollars (without asking for change), Mr. Trueman and Lynch rode away together.

They went to the Presidential Palace. Mr. Trueman had a lot of work to do in the afternoon and he had a one hundred minute break at noon.

He didn't plan to take a lunch break today, or he didn't plan to spend all his time taking a lunch break. He had to talk to Lynch.

After entering the study, they closed the door and sat at the coffee table.

Mr. Trueman brought a bottle of wine and two glasses, and poured some into each.

"Why is it so hard for us to do something?"

He was impressed by what happened at the hearing this morning. It can be seen that representatives of Congress and capitalists are extremely dissatisfied!

In fact, he thinks this matter will not bring much trouble to the capitalists, at least he thinks so.

If workers' social security benefits are paid in advance, the employment of federal workers can become more flexible, and some current federal laws targeting jobs can be relaxed accordingly.

For example, the judiciary stipulates that factories within the federal territory must leave 60% of their jobs for federal indigenous people, and only 40% of the jobs can be used to hire immigrant and foreign workers.

This is done to protect the interests of federal Aboriginal workers and ensure that they have a place to work if they want to work and can pay their social security contributions on time!

If the conditions are relaxed, this clause can also be gradually relaxed. For example, it is enough to retain only 35 to 45 percent of the employment quota for local workers.

The extra 25 to 15 percent can be distributed freely by the capitalists.

That’s a lot of money too!

Although this percentage may not seem large, it is really not a small sum!

You know, labor cost is one of the most expensive costs at any time!

But the capitalists don't think about this at all. They only think about exploiting the workers of the Federation for a longer period of time, and they also want to control themselves from being backlashed by their resistance.

These stupid... pigs!

He looked up at Lynch, "I heard that at least 100,000 people are working for you now?"

Lynch was a little surprised, "How did you come up with this number?"

"Honestly, I didn't even know that there were 100,000 people living here."

Mr. Trueman stared at Lynch for a moment before confirming that this was not Lynch's excuse.

He mentioned something offhand, like Blackstone Security, the single company where Lynch currently has the most employees.

Then there is Blackstone Aviation. Heavy manufacturing industries such as aircraft have always been the main labor force in the federation.

In this era where there is no "robot arm", even if there is an assembly line, every process on the assembly line is completed by workers.

The assembly line is full of busy workers from beginning to end. There may be hundreds or even hundreds of people in one workshop, or even thousands of people!

A factory, three to five or more than ten workshops, this is a large group of people.

In addition, aircraft manufacturing cannot be completed in one factory. Each component requires a factory or an assembly line to produce, then the assembly line of the components, and then the assembly line of the complete machine...

Calculating it this way, Lynch does have a lot of employees under his hands.

Listening to Mr. Trueman talking about these big numbers, Lynch had a very fresh experience, "I have never calculated that I would have so many employees."

Mr. Trueman sighed softly, "So now that you know, tell me what you think. Do you think this proposal is meaningful?"

"certainly!"

Lynch's answer was decisive and quick. He then began to explain his thoughts, "Letting the working class end the full payment of labor security benefits early will not damage our current living environment."

"People's employment can be more flexible and convenient. As a businessman, we can reposition and allocate positions based on different types of work and workers' skills."

Mr. Trueman asked again, "Aren't you afraid that because these workers have lifetime security, they will not be able to continue working for you in your factory?"

"They may work for a while and then leave. They will not work for a long time. Some positions will always be short of people..."

This is also the question on the capital side at today's hearing. Once the working class is freed from the long social security system, they may no longer "work without complaint" as they did in the past.

Especially for those who have paid in full, if they are even slightly dissatisfied, they will go on strike or resign directly.

If they do this alone, it will not have any impact on the company's production.

I am afraid that under their leadership, more people will be incited.

At the same time, positions are constantly being vacant, which is also very detrimental to the continuity of corporate production.

Lynch didn't have much feeling about this issue.

"Actually, we have solved this problem in Nagaril..."

Seeing the curiosity on Mr. Trueman's face, he pondered for a while and began to explain.

“In Nagaril, we have divided the jobs into three categories.”

"The first type is a job that anyone who has not received any employment training or on-the-job training can easily do the job."

"They only need to make simple observations and become familiar with it for a day or two before they can be competent in their positions."

"The salary for this part of the job is the lowest because anyone can do it. We don't care who comes or leaves."

"The second type is technical positions."

"The wages of these positions are significantly higher than those of the first position, and they have certain technical requirements. They will be the backbone of the technology."

"We lend them money to receive training and sign long-term labor employment contracts to protect the interests of both of us."

"Laws and rules constrain our rights and obligations to each other, which also ensures that they will not leave their jobs easily."

"The third type is management positions."

"Sometimes... you know, the most powerful people against the Nagali people are not us, or other foreigners, but the local Nagali people."

"A higher salary, and maybe even a part of the dividends. Even if we let them leave, they will try their best to stay..."
