Chapter 45

There are many formalities to prepare for a class action.

Bella took lawyer Jerry Hogarth to meet with Old Joe and others separately to negotiate their own demands.

Their request is very simple. In the future, the pensions of the elderly will be paid in full and in a timely manner. If the acquirer is unwilling to use this payment mode, then a one-time payment can be made according to the physical conditions of the elderly.

As for the relocation of the iron and steel factory to Vietnam, what should we do about the work of the current employees in the factory?

This problem is unsolved! Human resources in the East are cheap, and there is no reason to ask capitalists to use cheap ones instead of expensive ones.

This is a super social problem, not to mention the two newbie Bella and Hogarth lawyers, even the president who rules the country with Twitter has no good way to do it.

From a national perspective, at most, some tax cuts are implemented to encourage capitalists to use domestic workers. Whether the capitalists listen or not is another matter.

Bella definitely has no way to solve this kind of social problem. She is not the savior of the world. The employees should let them find a way to do it themselves.

After more than ten days of negotiation, Bella obtained the signatures of a total of fifty-nine old workers, including Old Joe, Old Willie, and Old Yar. Sler Steel, and Stark Industries Phoenix, which acquired the steel company, filed a civil lawsuit.

Jerry Hogarth was also eager to get a name. Even if the legal fee was not paid in full, she followed Bella to visit the old man one by one, sorting out the materials, and preparing to appeal.

At the same time, Natasha also organized a large number of elderly people to demonstrate in the old city and the east and west urban areas.

Bella's predecessor's memory was not received at all, which caused her to not know her predecessor's classmates and teachers at all. She was a fake local, and Natasha could only be responsible for organizing a parade.

If the old people stand in the sun for two hours, they will definitely not be able to hold on. Just like punching a card, let them come and stroll around every morning. Some members of the parade are the young students nearby, and the rest are the sons of the workers. , daughter, grandson, granddaughter.

The slogan "I want bread, I want work" must not be used. The old man and the old lady are in their 80s. Letting them go to work is a complete murder.

With the two-pronged approach, the momentum on their side rose immediately. The 180 flight accident only faced the passengers of that flight, and now the demonstrations and lawsuits represent a group, targeting a multinational group, and the impact on society. Strength is not a class at all.

......

California, Los Angeles.

He claims to be able to make circuit boards at the age of four, and to build engines at the age of six. Tony Stark, a super genius who graduated from MIT at the age of seventeen, just gave away a female star who he could not name.

He's always been a media darling, dating who and who, what's his opinion on certain policies, what's his opinion on the New York senator, what's his opinion on the LA senator, which team does he support, all kinds of nonsense questions Will surround him as he walks out of the villa.

It is normal to ask questions. As a super topical figure, it is strange that there are no media reporters to ask questions.

If the female reporter is beautiful and in good shape, Tony Stark will answer two sentences, otherwise, ignore it.

But today's question has a few new twists in it.

"Mr. Stark, what do you think about engulfing the old people's pensions? Where did these pensions go to? You make the old people homeless, but you enjoy top social resources, you won't feel guilty ?"

What kind of mess is this all about? view? What can I say? These questions are meaningless to Tony Stark. There are too many people who spray him in various ways.

Without thinking, he opened the car door and left his villa in a flash.

He didn't take it seriously because it was too far away.

But when things slowly spread from Arizona to California, tens of thousands of industrial workers were alarmed.

Retired workers are worried that their pensions will be suspended, and those who are still on the job are worried about the future. If they 'click' when they retire, their pensions will be gone. Who can stand it?

The concerns of the workers have not been paid enough attention to by the management. There are too many companies and individuals suing Stark Industries. If the group responds with great fanfare every time, the management will stop working.

Someone tell us? OK, transfer it to the legal department, let the legal department solve the other party!

Stark Industries doesn't take it seriously, but their competitors are quite happy. There are shadows of these people behind demonstrations in California, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, and several states.

Even Bella received a bearer check for a full $10,000. The other party's intention was to ask her to GKD, right?

......

Phoenix Court.

Bella, dressed in a formal suit, sat quietly behind the plaintiff's desk, while attorney Jerry Hogarth sat beside her.

Clients and attorneys for the steelworks and Stark Industries' Phoenix branch sat on the defendant's side.

In the auditorium at the back sat Lao Qiao and his group.

On the side of the judge and the clerk are the twelve members of the jury.

The bearded judge announced the hearing, and lawyer Hogarth began to make a very sharp statement.

"On behalf of fifty-nine seniors, I formally sue Wexler Steel and Stark Industries...  

History should not be forgotten, I hope history remembers today, remembers this moment of today.

Our predecessors worked hard and selflessly for the war. Now that they are old, those enterprises are so stingy as to encroach on even the meager pension. What about us? When we get old, what do we depend on to live?

When I am incapacitated and can no longer stand and speak in court, when you jury members quit their current jobs because of illness and age, what should we do if our pensions are frozen at that time ? Go begging? To kneel before the gates of Stark Industries and beg them to give us a loaf of bread?

law! The law is an effective weapon to safeguard our own rights and interests and protect ourselves! We don't want begging, it's not Mr. Tony Stark, Mr. Obadiah Stane gives us a piece of bread like a saint, what we want is decency, the last dignity of a man who can spend his old age in a civilized society ! "

The current Miss Jerry Hogarth is still a little immature, but she can see that there is excitement in her tone.
