Chapter 536 Extraordinary Measures

In the evening, more than 30 employees had gathered in the middle of the open space in the northern shack, most of them from the production team. The packaging team also recruited two representatives, and in the end only the employees from the transportation team were left.

"Will anyone come from them?"

"I don't know... Momola said to wait."

"The porters are the most numerous in Baiguoyuan. If they don't come, it's basically hopeless, right?"

Everyone was talking a lot, and the scene seemed a little noisy for a while.

"How about...let's forget about it." Morrill walked to Momola who was sitting cross-legged on the iron barrel and said with worry, "You have done so much for us, I am already very grateful. . If we stop now, everyone will not be affected in any way and can continue to work in Baiguoyuan..."

"Then continue to be their slaves and let them control you?" Momola looked at him, "I did think that it would be enough to keep everyone's jobs, and the protest was for this purpose. But talk to that Easterner Afterwards, I realized that what I thought was too naive.”

"how come……"

"Resistance must be based on corresponding strength. We have nothing ourselves. The only things we can use as bargaining chips are these hands." She opened her palms, and there were bright cocoon marks on her knuckles. "Because of this "We must gather enough people to gain the strength to compete with the factory."

At this point Momola patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you have to take this step. In that case, why not choose to take it earlier?"

"You think simply." Suddenly a different voice intervened, "Not everyone has this courage."

The discussion suddenly stopped.

Momola followed the sound and found that the speaker was none other than Horn.

"You're finally here." She grinned.

"Have you been waiting for me?" The other party raised his eyebrows.

"Well, because I guess you will agree - those who dare to support their families on their own have never lacked courage." Momola jumped off the iron bucket, clapped her hands and said, "Everyone, our people have arrived Qi, let’s discuss the specific arrangements for the strike now!”

"Everyone already knows the basic situation. A batch of ships loaded with drunken fruits will arrive at the harbor tomorrow. We can load and unload as usual and deliver the fruits to the factory. Wait until the next day and the strike will officially begin to fight against the unfair treatment of Baiguoyuan! At present, There are three main demands: First, the supervisor and others should admit their mistakes and withdraw all previous punishment decisions. Second, they should improve the treatment and increase the monthly salary of the employees to at least meet the standards of the supervisor, and finally, cancel the supervision. Positions must be managed by employees themselves, and harmful punishment methods including whipping are no longer allowed!”

Momola said the words she had been holding back for a long time in one breath, feeling an indescribable joy in her heart.

Some of these ideas come from Ambassador Xia’s suggestions, and some are her own thinking.

For example, when it comes to increasing wages, she roughly estimated that even if the wages of more than 600 people in the factory were doubled at the same time, the shipment volume would only be a drop in the bucket compared to Pagoda. From a rational point of view, these conditions are not difficult to achieve, but once the strike exceeds three days, the fruit will begin to rot and deteriorate, and the losses will be far beyond what can be measured by a little wages.

Others were also excited after hearing this. If this thing can be done, it is not an exaggeration to say that it will change their destiny!

"It's better to count the number of people first." Horn said, "According to Massage Molla, we have to recruit more than 80% of the employees to paralyze Baiguoyuan. If everyone works together, it will be okay, but today I Someone reported to Gore that I had secret conversations with the production team, which proves that the supervisor has spies among the employees, so these 80 people must be relatively reliable."

"What?" This news made Catwoman blink in surprise, "Did he punish you?"

"It's just a little skin injury, it's not a problem." Horns did not go into detail. "The number of people I can win over should be around two hundred. They have all suffered from supervisors and are very disgusted with management. If it is to win over everyone, Fighting for my rights, I believe they will be on my side.”

"I guess we can get five!"

"I have about thirty people here, right?"

"As for the packaging team... almost a hundred."

Everyone started to count them one after another, and Huajiao recorded them all with a charcoal pen.

"Can you read?" Momola asked curiously.

"I learned from an old hired worker. When moving, I at least know how many boxes of goods I have moved." Horns shrugged.

"Old hired worker? Is there such a person in the moving team?"

"It has happened before." Horn's voice suddenly became a little sad, "According to his story, Baiguoyuan was still a small factory at that time, and it was not so harsh on its employees. It was not until the boss was changed that the situation began to take a turn for the worse. "

"Where is he now..." Catwoman hesitated, "Has he been fired?"

"Dead. His leg was broken by falling cargo while carrying it, but he was unable to treat it. The wound rotted and died." Horn kept recording on his hand, "Do you know what he said to me before closing his eyes?"

Momora shook her head.

"Look for an opportunity to leave here, and don't try to fight against the factory."

She raised her head in surprise, "But you're still here."

"Because there was no one like you in his story at that time." Horns wrote the last number, "A total of four hundred and twenty-one."

"It's still a little short of 80%..." someone murmured.

"This 80% is just an estimate. I don't think there will be any difference between a few dozen more or a few dozen less."

"But our estimate is just an estimate." Horn pointed out without hesitation, "Who can guarantee that these people will definitely participate in the strike firmly at that time? If the margin is taken into account, the number of people should be counted to be 90% to be safe. If someone can't bear the pressure and falls to the factory, we may fall into a disadvantage in an instant."

"This..."

The atmosphere in the shed was a little solemn for a while.

No one can deny that the situation mentioned by Horn is very likely to happen.

"At this time, don't consider personal wishes." Mrs. Karan, the representative of the packaging team, suddenly spoke. Because the packaging team requires experience more than physical strength, there will also be some old employees, such as this woman who is nearly 35 years old.

"Madam means..." Momola asked. She still attaches great importance to the opinions of the elderly.

"We can organize ourselves and block the shantytown directly." The other party said bluntly, "As long as we block the remaining more than 100 people in the shantytown, wouldn't it be equivalent to everyone standing on our side?"

After this, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

"Force those people to stay?"

"Isn't this too... overbearing?"

"How can we succeed without being overbearing!?" Mrs. Karan suddenly raised her voice and said, "The guys we are going to deal with are the most overbearing ones. They won't talk to you about reason! And we don't need to use any tough measures, just surround the shantytown. Those employees who don't agree on the surface or dare not stand up to protest are just short-sighted and timid. Once we can negotiate successfully, they will definitely come to our side immediately if they taste the real sweetness. So I think we can take extraordinary measures for the first action!"
