1456 Be Your Own Savior!

The whole factory workers' vote, which was originally intended to be resolved in one go, was not able to be voted on immediately because of someone's interference.

The people in the city hall felt that there was no chance to complete the work today, so they took the initiative to leave.

They have other work to do and don't have time to spend here.

Of course, they also told everyone that they would be given a period of discussion and discussion. If they still could not make a decision after three days, they would directly put the factory into the auction in accordance with their previous decision.

People from the workers' union also left voluntarily.

The workers in the factory were so noisy that they really couldn't come up with a solution today.

Old John was about to leave, but he was held back by a few co-workers with whom he had good relations. .

"Let's go have a drink, we have to do something!", the workers said.

After hesitating for a while, Old John agreed. In fact, it didn't matter to him who gave more or who gave less. He was just a worker, and whoever was the manager had nothing to do with him. .

But he still agreed. This is a human instinct.

When they are unsure about the future, people will stick together in groups.

Originally, the group of them planned to go to the Workers' Club. The food and beer in the Workers' Club were very cheap. Although the taste was not very good, the cheapness was obviously much more important to the people at the bottom than the taste.

Perhaps most people have this idea. The entire club is packed with people, and there are not even many places for people to stand.

The group moved to a cheap bar that also provided undressing services. Of course, don't expect the girls on the stage to be very beautiful.

A group of people went directly into the bar. The people at the bottom did not need to exchange change because they had change in their pockets.

They each bought a tall glass of ninety-nine cent beer and ordered some chopped barbecue.

It is said to be chopped barbecue, but it is actually cheap ground beef from the supermarket. This kind of beef is not shaped, and most of it is about the size of a thumb, but the price is very cheap.

With two plates of barbecue and a large glass of beer each, they found a corner to sit.

There are about ten people in front, behind, left and right. They all work on the same assembly line, so they naturally have a good relationship.

The person who organized this party was the production team leader of their assembly line, a middle-aged man in his forties.

He has a strong physique, but his muscles and thick arms cannot hide his white temples.

Before he was fifty, his temples had already turned gray, and the heavy labor and life pressure made him breathless. In fact, workers on the assembly line with this kind of heavy manual labor were overdrawing their lives. in exchange for wealth.

Most of these workers can only live to be sixty or seventy years old, and it is difficult to extend their life span.

He took a sip of beer, and the beer foam dyed his beard pale yellow. He licked the foam on his beard and lowered his voice slightly.

"Before... I was right. It makes no sense for us to get the same amount of money. They can control us, but we can only work in the dirtiest and most tiring workshop!"

This sentence resonated with everyone, and even Old John felt that there was no problem with this sentence.

The team leader continued, "First of all, we must unify on this issue. Whoever wants more power must pay more than others!"

Everyone nodded, and then he picked up a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth to chew.

This kind of cheap bar doesn't offer any professional food, just casual barbecue. The piece he picked up was slightly burnt and not easy to chew, but it had a very special burnt aroma.

This is why two plates of barbecue can cope with their dozen or so big guys, but they may not be able to swallow it so easily.

"Also, I have an idea. If any of you are able to do so, I hope you can pay more, so that there may be a workshop supervisor among us."

"If the current supervisor cannot afford so much money, and other groups in our workshop take over the position, it will be very detrimental to us!"

In fact, not all workers in the same factory are of the same mind.

There is also competition among them.

Capitalists have rich experience and methods in squeezing workers' maximum labor force. There is competition between each production group in the production workshop.

Whoever is better will get more bonuses.

And whoever lags behind will get less bonus.

These bonuses are not subsidized by the capitalists themselves to the workers, but are exploited from the workers.

For example, the local "Minimum Hourly Wage Law" stipulates that the minimum hourly wage is 340 yuan, and the factory will calculate your wages based on 340 yuan, and then use part of it as a bonus.

In fact, these bonuses should originally belong to the workers, but they have been changed in a way to stimulate the subjective initiative of the workers to a greater extent!

Capitalists will not let any meaningless penny flow into the pockets of the working class. Even if it is a penny, it must exert its value in production!

And if we just focus on productivity, this is just healthy competition that seems to have no problem.

But it can't be so fair. For example, Old John and his production team have two "material grabbers". They are also workers, but at the same time they are also responsible for grabbing production materials from the material warehouse!

If you want to surpass others in production speed, or not fall behind others, the easiest way is to first hoard a large amount of production materials.

This can avoid the interval problem when production materials are used up and re-apply, allowing the production team to always maintain an efficient production rhythm.

But it is not easy to obtain more production raw materials.

For example, sometimes the factory receives an order to produce one hundred units of a product. There are five production groups in the production workshop. Logically speaking, each production group only needs to produce twenty units of the product.

However, some production groups produce faster, and some production groups produce slower.

The slower-producing team wants to get the production raw materials for twenty units at once, so that even if they are slow, at least they are not at the bottom.

As for those who produce quickly, they may want to obtain the production raw materials for thirty units at a time, so that they can get more bonuses.

So there is a contradiction here, that is, who should the raw materials be given to?

Everyone is applying for more raw materials, but it is not the warehouse that has the final say in whose hands it really falls!

Instead, it depends on which side is responsible for transporting materials. The workers are stronger and faster!

This is what capitalists are happy to see!

The team leader’s words were very clear. If people from other groups paid a little more money and became workshop supervisors, they might use their status to interfere with these rules.

This possibility is not impossible, but very possible!

Everyone may work on the same assembly line for several years or even a lifetime. Sometimes the relationship between workers is closer than the relationship between them and their families!

Then it is very possible to be slightly inclined towards the production team with which you have a good relationship!

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Obviously, if you want to get this position, you will definitely have to spend more money.

Now the average cost per person is 10,000 yuan. If you want to be a supervisor or something, you might have to shell out 100,000 yuan or more?

Some people speak very bluntly, unable to hide their secrets, and directly say that they have no money.

Old John also expressed the fact that he could not afford more money. Even if it was 10,000 yuan now, he didn't know where to get it.

The team leader did not interrupt everyone's speech. He only started to speak after they had almost finished speaking.

"I'm not asking any of you to come up with so much money. We can definitely work together, just like our work!"

"Everyone only needs an extra seven or eight thousand yuan, and we can collect an extra one hundred thousand yuan, and then whoever is willing to be a pawn can make up for the rest."

"If someone is willing to pay more, I don't think there is a problem. After all, according to the people in the city hall and the union, we are buying our own factory."

“By the end of the year, we’ll be able to split the money.”

"How much money did we make for the boss last year?", he suddenly asked a question.

Someone then said, "I heard that the factory made more than half a million yuan last year!"

Earning more than half a million yuan a year is not a small amount of money. Then the team leader gave everyone a simple calculation. Those who paid more can actually share more money from this profit.

This sentence made the workers feel a little excited.

They have worked in the factory for so long, and they know very well that this factory is actually very profitable. They are guaranteed to make a lot of money every year after all wages are paid on time.

Even in the worst years, even if the factory didn't make much profit, it could at least pay everyone's wages!

Old John didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a little excited.

"We have to ask people from the workers' union to explain this matter to us..."

When Old John returned home at night, he didn't even watch his favorite TV. He went directly back to the room and lay on the bed.

His wife, who noticed that he was not feeling well, took the initiative to come to his side and stroked his dry hair, "What's wrong?"

Old John hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head and said nothing.

The next day, everyone came to the factory again. This time the workers' union arranged for lawyers and accountants to come over. At the request of many people in the factory, they wanted to do a "science popularization" for everyone.

To put it simply, it means telling everyone how much money you spend, how many shares you can get, and how much money you can get at the end of the year.

Everyone is very serious, because this is related to everyone's vital interests, and many people even bring notebooks and pencils.

This may be the first time in the decades since they graduated from high school that they have actively bought these stationery to record something.

Old John did the same...
