Chapter 1235: Corporate Enemy

The public relations expenditure of 100,000 US dollars was paid by Farben's internal anti-union organization.

Within foreign companies, various legal organizations emerge in endlessly.

Among them, trade unions and anti-union organizations are the most influential, powerful organizations that can most affect the development of enterprises and the thinking of workers.

But the bosses and management of any company like the anti-union organization the most, and the enemy of the other party, the labor union organization, is the most hostile.

The original trade union organization was to prevent trade unions from encroaching on the rights that workers should have, and avoiding oppression and exploitation.

But in the 1920s, 40 years after the union's existence, its character changed.

From avoiding being deprived, to competing with the company's management for management rights, and then some powerful labor unions began to check and balance the company's owners and become a party of exploitation.

From the 1920s to the present, there are hundreds if not thousands of companies that have been bankrupted by trade unions, especially some small and medium-sized enterprises.

Originally suffered from the economic crisis, the development of the enterprise was fatally hit.

Then the trade unions incited the workers, demanding that the company maintain various benefits and previous wages, and then held various protests and strikes.

Then, everyone huddled together and died. This kind of thing happens almost every day. I don’t know how many bankruptcy bosses of small and medium-sized enterprises hate the union organizers.

Most workers do not have any independent opinions. They are one of the groups that are most likely to be incited, lose their self-thinking and independent opinions, and choose to follow the crowd.

When they are incited by words, they are always unwilling to believe that the company is really in trouble, but they always hold a certain kind; the boss has money and is ready to take his sister-in-law to run away, and he is unwilling to use it to the workers. their wages.

Because of this, Li Zitao has never had any good feelings for trade unions, and the trade unions in his company have always been the focus of the public relations department.

Sponsoring anti-union organizations, improving workers' welfare, and dividing the strength of the trade unions are effective ways for Li Zitao to deal with trade unions for a long time.

Especially in terms of welfare, Li Zitao's companies have nothing to criticize, and other companies can only catch up and look up to them.

However, the growth of trade unions in these enterprises is in his hands. Other companies acquired later also underwent bankruptcy reorganization and trade union reorganization.

Now, this kind of thing also happens to Farben, but compared with the American trade union law, the German trade union law is more troublesome.

In the United States, companies are free to choose whether to join a trade union, or to form a new trade union within the company, and finally file with the National Workers Union.

But in Germany, the rights of trade unions have been further enlarged. Even if assets are reorganized, the internal trade unions can guarantee their integrity.

In the phase of corporate restructuring, trade unions enter into a lockout phase. After the corporate reorganization is over, when the workers return to work, the trade unions will also fully return.

To this end, they had to work hard on anti-union organizations.

Although the integrity of the trade union has been preserved, when the corporate reorganization is completed, the new management can request another 'legitimacy vote' according to regulations. '

Whether the trade union is legal and whether it is necessary to exist can be re-determined by voting. Li Zitao issued a death order for this, he did not want to see any trade union survive.

Giving high benefits and high treatment, these are all he is willing to pay, because he has been at the bottom of society, and he also does not want to cause trouble because of these things. High benefits and treatment can allow him to better integrate with the company and gain higher social recognition.

But this does not mean that he has to accept some unreasonable blackmail. The trade union members bought by the think tank have heard that its organizers plan to complete the reorganization,

Several large-scale strikes and protests took place.

The reason is that Farben has been dismantled by capital, and the purpose of Li's acquisition of Farben is not pure. They want to dismember the entire Farben in cold blood, and finally "retail" profits. The temporary reorganization and relocation of assets is to make it easier to sell in the future.

Of course, this is an excuse to the outside world. In fact, they do have concerns in this regard, but the ultimate goal is to force the management and the union to negotiate.

The opponent's purpose is very bold, and they want to win part of the management appointment rights from the management, including the appointment of grassroots managers and the distribution of benefits.

There are more benefit requirements; medical care, paid time off, attendance bonuses and pensions, year-end bonuses for 16 months a year, hehe, it's just crazy.

Li Zitao didn't know who gave the other party the courage. In his opinion, these people might need to change their names; the surname is Shi, and the first name is Lezhi.

No matter who is planning these behind the scenes, it is impossible for Li Zitao to agree, and it is even more impossible for Osborne to agree.

After annexing Farben, what they want is further development, rather than being dragged down by heavy burdens.

At a recent meeting, Osborne's management team solemnly stated to Li Zitao that if the problem with the union cannot be resolved, they will seriously consider the plan of dismemberment and auction.

This is not a joke or a threat. It is impossible for Osborne to afford such a heavy financial burden.

According to the request of the other party, in the end, the entire Osborne and its Pfizer will be completely dragged down, and bankruptcy is their only ending.

...

Mike followed the Wells Fargo-Morgan team to Frankfurt, and the plane landed at Munich International Airport with some bumps.

They need to change trains here to reach Frankfurt smoothly.

Frankfurt International Airport was heavily bombed during the war and has not yet been fully repaired. Only two runways are in operation, currently only for international dignitaries, and even then there is hardly any spare time.

This time, as the chief researcher of Osborn, Mike, the CEO, personally went to Farben headquarters in Frankfurt to appease the workers, visit factories and research institutes, and make a detailed assessment of Farben's research and development capabilities.

"Charlie made a special statement before coming here that he must never have contact with union representatives and anti-union representatives. Before the matter is resolved, as the leadership, he must not send any wrong signals and misleading."

This time, the leader of Fuguo-Morgan is Lawrence, who is Li Zitao's representative and a seconded 'special economic advisor. '

The little trouble from Serena has been 'solved', and there will be no peace between Li Shi and Kendi. Li Zitao privately decided to let him go to Europe to relax and avoid being implicated.

"I understand that before we are authorized, we are just medical workers who come to visit and investigate." Mike naturally understands the rules.

Now he is no longer that little community doctor, but Professor Mike who is famous all over the world for discovering the 'energy potion'.
