Chapter 547 Foreign Workers

"A dollar loaf?"

Putting down the bag of bread in his hand, Lu Pingan nodded.

Soft drinks for 50 cents, canned beer for 1.5 yuan, the shelves of convenience stores are full of colorful packages of 50 cents and 1 or 2 yuan.

Prices are fairly stable, at least for now.

Lu Pingan breathed a sigh of relief, which was undoubtedly a great thing.

Unlike most people in this world, he has experienced the big impact of currency devaluation, and he is more aware of the lasting torture and blow it will cause to the lives of ordinary people.

At least, the current authorities are still trying to maintain market stability, and the effect is obvious.

It seems that this wave of "earnings" has really been absorbed by the credit currency, and has not flowed into the Dongguo currency that is related to people's livelihood.

Lu Pingan looked at the foreigner who was loading goods, and smiled, but he was maliciously guessing their salary in his heart.

"Is it one-third or one-half of ordinary workers, or to be more humane, two-thirds?"

Some things are self-evident. The current impact is too rapid, and all kinds of chaos continue. Policies and regulations simply cannot keep up.

In a short period of time, the special service team has received countless employment disputes.

Some are laborers from other regions, and they find that their "monthly salary" for a month is only one-tenth of that of ordinary employees, and the malicious local boss said from the bottom of his heart, "It's not because you are cheap, who would use you local workers?" You can’t speak well, and you might scare outsiders.”

Some are from ordinary workers. They were surprised to find that their jobs were gone, and those shameless foreign workers snatched their jobs at super low prices.

Some came from bosses who found that foreign labor was not so easy to deal with, and their customers/relatives/friends were injured by labor.

In short, the foreign labor market is now in a mess, and the lack of supervision is not mentioned. The new policy only mentions opening up the labor market, but how to use it, how to give benefits, how to conduct qualification examinations, and how to handle disputes are not mentioned. carry.

"...This is actually normal and correct. The new thing has not yet started, and blindly setting policies will only result in a bunch of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases. It's just pity for these unlucky people. Maybe this is life."

Encountered the turbulent period of the times. No one can do anything.

Only when problems arise first can we find ways to solve them. Policies that are too "advanced" are prone to major problems during implementation.

Making changes while doing is the kingly way, but if you are in the middle of the game, you need to bear the "price" for a period of time.

In the short term, unequal pay for equal work is almost inevitable, and being discriminated against and hostile will be a daily occurrence. Although the "Anti-Discrimination Law" was promulgated in advance, it lacks relevant penalties and penalties. Not optimistic.

You said that if you don’t discriminate, I won’t discriminate? It robbed my job and my woman. The chaos at the grassroots level is predictable, and it is inevitable for outsiders to gather together to keep warm. Even Lu Pingan can see that some foreign gangsters are about to be released.

Not to mention, as far as Lu Pingan learned recently, the secret service team treats those "auxiliary policemen" very unreasonably, with discounted wages, weapons and equipment that are left over from elimination, and even death treatment, and no normal secret keeper treatment.

Just for these, disputes have formed within the special service team and the Bureau of Foreign Affairs. Many old people in the special service team have come up with high-sounding reasons to refuse foreigners to join, but everyone knows that they are more worried about being recruited by younger and stronger foreigners. Those who robbed their jobs.

Some of the opinions and suggestions they mentioned are clearly humiliating, and they are from the perspective of "dissuading" outsiders.

This is just a microcosm of the new era. The emergence of a large number of foreign workers has caused a period of turmoil in the entire society. This is also the root cause of Ping An's concern about prices.

After all, in this chaotic era, currency stability is the most important cornerstone of social stability.

When your entire possessions are worthless overnight, when you can't afford a single loaf of bread with your life savings, anything can happen.

".The higher-ups heard that a policy will be issued to ensure equal pay for equal work. By the way, there are still outsiders who enjoy the general treatment of the nationals. Tsk, some people are going to take to the streets again. Isn't this looking for trouble for the special service team and the police?"

Although the above thought is very good, but there is no "code" or "precedent" in the handling below, and the confusion in the early stage is inevitable.

From Lu Ping'an's point of view, after cracking down on black market currency, disputes related to foreigners will become the main task of the special service team for quite a while.

And if there are no accidents, this wave of chaos will last for a long time until a set of effective and down-to-earth laws is promulgated and recognized by the society after one or two years of practice.

"Hey, seven yuan, do you need a ticket?"

The one who spoke was a lovely young lady from a foreign ethnicity. She was working as a cash register. She had an appearance that was in line with human aesthetics. She also had four iridescent ears made of shell-like material, and her crystal-like pupils were like a mirror.

".Need not."

Lu Pingan shook his head thoughtfully, and took his snack bag.

The Kalok, or more commonly known as the "Beel" in folklore, are the inhabitants of another world and the most popular race among the first foreign workers.

Their world is not destroyed, on the contrary, it is a beautiful and amazing semi-submerged grassland world, full of huge coral reefs and marine plants like giant trees.

Just as most of the lives in the world of Silent Mountain are ordinary people without supernatural power, the fighting power of this race is also quite mediocre or even non-existent.

After all, it was a peaceful world, so peaceful that it was boring, and so peaceful that they could only race in the ocean every day. They came to the earth not for refuge, but for a better life.

It is said that the cultural and industrial products of the earth are extremely popular and expensive in their world, which suddenly destroyed their originally fragile small handicraft industry chain.

The subsequent development is very normal, just like the story of a country girl entering the market to work is constantly being staged.

By the way, most of the first batch of workers were humanoid creatures that conformed to human aesthetics, and the beauty of the Bell tribe ranked among the top.

On the one hand, it is the targeted choice of customs and explorers, and on the other hand, it is also the active choice of the other party.

For the promotion of cultural products to be effective, it’s better to have the same species, at least with the same aesthetics. People shouldn’t be excited when they look at the animal world. Well, at least normal people don’t.

If one had to choose a "world to go out to develop", compared to alien planets full of alien shapes, the earth of similar species would naturally be better.

In fact, there have always been such foreign workers, but before, because all outsiders were basically stowaways, the number of new recruits every year was not large, and because of the "residence restriction" policy, they could not enter big cities.

Now that the restriction order has been completely lifted and the "anti-discrimination law" has been announced, it has naturally attracted a wave of "foreign population dividends". The cashier's fluent local language is obviously the result of a period of time. A simple man who can't speak Dongguo dialect, he can only do laborious work such as loading goods and cleaning.

Next, with the expansion of the explorer system and the normalization of the entry and exit of outsiders, it will sooner or later become unrealistic to strictly control the entry and exit of everyone. This is also the main reason for the relatively mild treatment of outsiders. It is better to give a chance to allow the former stowaways to obtain a relatively legal status and stabilize the unstable factors.

It's just that no matter how complete the policy is, it will still encounter countless practical problems. After thinking about it for a while, Lu Pingan knows that the loopholes are too big to be filled.

For example, compensation, such as marriage, such as medical care, such as pension, such as group associations, such as outsider enterprises and gray and black gatherings, etc.

The most excessive and the most controversial is the current dispute within the Secret Service that "killing aliens on Earth counts as homicide".

The answer to this question is not only difficult to answer but also heartbreaking. It directly involves the moral bottom line of "whether to treat foreigners as human beings". Homicide", if not, isn't this a typical double standard? Although there is no problem in reason, there is a big problem in logic.

Does it give human rights to outsiders? Is it for some or all? If so, what are the prerequisites? Just by imagining it, it can make the rules and the lawmakers have a big head, but without accurate laws and rules, the special service team and the police below can't implement it?

Then, according to the local methods and ideas of each family? I'm afraid this will become a new source of confusion for fun.

"... This chaos is just the beginning, I hope there will be no big trouble."

Lu Pingan can only think this way. The above policies have not been finalized, and the implementation of the following will naturally go their own way. I am afraid that the policies of each state are different. No, as far as Lu Ping An understands, every city or even every village treats Specific regulations for outsiders may vary.

This will naturally bring a series of troubles, including population movement and resistance caused by discrimination.

"Although everything looks good now, after a while, the secret service team will work crazy overtime"

Lu Pingan shook his head, this is not his business, let alone something he might take care of.

Leave the general trend of the times to the trendsetters of the times. You just need to think about how to survive in this era. It would be better if you can get along better.

I have no ability or qualification to interfere with civil and market affairs, those major events and general trends in macro or details. I can only pray and hope that the officials will not mess up, otherwise it will be difficult for everyone.

Now, unlike before, most churches are no longer disobedient, and the state capitals have more trust and expectations for the nominal central government. I hope there will be no more mistakes.

The change of the general trend needs feedback of time, but the change of the trend of people's hearts is already in sight

"I just need to do my job as explorers and professionals. In this new era, those of us who are the first explorers stuck at key nodes are destined to become the protagonists of the era."
