Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 256 Labor Unions

  Porman sat in the co-pilot seat of the Willis Jeep, tilting his head to listen to Fang Lang's orders.

   "Boss is fine, our designers are not idle during this time, everyone is designing modification plans!

  In addition to finding ways to arrange more seats, we need to place more seats.

  Everyone's energy is mainly concentrated on solving the sound insulation and heat insulation materials of the aircraft. "

  Fang Lang looked at Polman with interest and said:

   "Oh! Have you achieved certain results now?"

   "Of course, boss, we have studied the main sound insulation materials on passenger planes in various countries, combined with the latest scientific achievements in the past two years, we have found a brand new solution.

   After calculation, the cost of this solution will drop by 20% when the sound insulation effect remains unchanged.

  The weight is ten percent lighter than the original. "

  Pollman had a smug expression on his face, and showed his merits to Fang Lang.

   "Haha. Nice work, can you see the finished product?"

   Fang Lang was very happy to hear that the company's team had reduced costs by 20 percent.

   "Yes, boss, the finished product is now being tested in our laboratory."

   As he spoke, he pointed to a two-story building on the other side of the factory building with a very large area.

  The style of this building is still obviously different from the factory building.

  Fang Lang nodded and said:

   "Come on, let's go and have a look."

  Pollman nodded quickly, signaling the driver to turn around and go to the laboratory.

  The vehicle bypassed the side of the laboratory and headed towards the main entrance. From a distance, Fang Lang saw someone talking to a group of workers in an open space outside the laboratory.

  Fang Lang laughed at the pair of Polmans and said:

   "Why don't you find an indoor environment for your worker training?"

  Pollman also saw the crowd not far away, but his face became a little ugly.

   "Boss, that's not our worker training."

  Fang Lang was also taken aback by Polman's return.

   "What do you mean? It's not our worker training, so what is it doing?"

  Hearing Fang Lang's question, Polman's face became even uglier and said:

   "Boss, those who wear uniforms and listen to the lecture are our workers, but the people who are speaking are not ours."

   Fang Lang took a serious look at Polman to confirm that the other party was not talking nonsense.

   Said with displeasure on his face:

   "What do you mean? In our factory, can outsiders come in directly and train our workers?"

  Pollman said helplessly:

   "Boss, this person said he was a staff member of the St. Paul City Council, and he said that he came to the factory to condolence the workers on behalf of the Labor Party.

   We also asked the City Council, and this person is indeed from the St. Paul City Council.

  At first we didn’t pay much attention to it. It’s normal for the government to give condolences to workers, but then this person would come to the factory every two days to give condolences.

   Each time a part of the workers had to be organized and the lectures lasted for more than two hours.

  Our work progress has been seriously affected.

   What's even worse is that he also wants to pull the staff of our laboratory to listen to him.

  At first we paid enough attention to it and asked everyone to participate in the activities organized by him, but we didn’t understand Portuguese, so we didn’t know what he was talking about after listening for a long time.

   Later, I heard from local workers that he wanted to set up a branch of their Labor Party in our company, form a trade union organization, and lead everyone and the boss to fight for better benefits.

  Strive to shorten everyone's working hours. "

  The more he listened to Polman, the darker Fang Lang's face became. What's going on? Is Brazil already that far ahead in this regard?

  Fang Lang is not opposed to trade union organizations, but he is afraid of encountering the kind of trade union organizations that Fuyao's Lao Cao encountered in the United States. Judging from the current situation, Fang Lang might have met them.

  In recent years, with the rapid rise of Big Brother Su, workers' organizations around the world have begun to blossom.

  As mentioned above, the reason why the former British Prime Minister gave a speech in the United States was precisely because Churchill saw the impact of this phenomenon on the capitalist world. And this Iron Curtain speech actually opened the prelude to the Cold War.

   What Fang Lang didn't expect was that Brazil, a South American country with an underdeveloped economy, had such a situation so early.

   Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Fang Lang asked:

  "Labor Party? Isn't the Labor Party the political party founded by former Brazilian President Vargas?

   It has not been established for a long time! As far as I know, the purpose of Mr. Vargas' establishment of the Labor Party is to attract votes from workers and farmers!

   It is not the style of the Labor Party to engage in trade unions, isn't it right? "

   After finishing speaking, he looked worriedly at his father Fang Xinshan and said:

   "Dad! Does this happen to other factories in our group?"

  Fang Xinshan nodded and said:

   "As far as I know, our steel mills, shipyards, and cigarette factories have already established some kind of trade union organization. However, the number of participants is not large.

  Because they charge every worker who joins a union five percent of their monthly salary as a membership fee.

   Most workers are unwilling to pay this fee, so not many people join the union. "

  Hearing such an answer, Fang Lang suddenly felt his scalp go numb!

   This is really a monster. My career has just started, and I have encountered such troubles.

   Do you want to learn from Fuyao's Lao Cao and directly refuse the trade union to settle in?

  Fang Lang didn't even have any interest in visiting the laboratory. After the vehicle stopped, he got out of the car and came to the event site where he was talking.

   He found a random place and sat down.

  He wanted to hear what this guy could say.

  The speaker, seeing the style of Fang Lang and others, knew that he was a big shot in the factory, especially when he saw Polman by Fang Lang's side, he knew that Fang Lang and others might be the boss of the company.

  Not only did he not show timidity, but he showed more enthusiasm.

   His eyes still looked at Fang Lang provocatively from time to time.

  Fang Lang didn't care, and continued to sit there and listen to this guy talking nonsense.

   Fang Lang was a little worried at first, afraid that this guy would really make all the workers limping.

   But listening, Fang Lang found that although this guy was very passionate, his eloquence seemed to be pretty good.

  But the logical thinking is not clear enough, and the grasp of theoretical knowledge is not solid enough, and it is repeated over and over again that workers should have those rights.

  The meaning of preaching is relatively strong.

   Fang Lang, who was listening below, was a little anxious for him, and his level of ideological work was worse than his own!

  Fang Lang believes that the theoretical knowledge he has learned in later schools is enough to beat the two knives in front of him.

  I heard the other party keep bragging about the benefits of joining the trade union, and what kind of benefits they can fight for everyone.

   This actually made the workers a little bit excited.

   But then this guy said another sentence, the fee standard for joining a trade union.

   A basin of cold water was poured directly on the workers' heads, which quickly cooled the enthusiasm of the workers who had just developed a little interest.

   After watching this guy's performance for a while, Fang Lang shook his head helplessly.

   It's not that Fang Lang looks down on the other party. Even if this guy can set up a trade union organization in his factory, it is estimated that very few people join.

   No wonder his father Fang Xinshan said that not many people joined the labor union in the other factories.

  Fang Lang doesn't like this guy, but it doesn't mean that Fang Lang doesn't like the power of the union. He won't relax his vigilance against them carelessly.

   After all, the manufacturing industries of many developed countries in later generations were destroyed by this humble organization.

  The other party had been preaching here for nearly an hour. Although Fang Lang felt that this guy's level was not good, he didn't choose to leave.

   Instead, he waited quietly for the other party to finish his speech.

  Porman didn't understand why the boss sat here and listened to this incomprehensible guy say something that was not conducive to the development of the factory, and he didn't look angry at all.

  He even noticed disdainful expressions on the corners of Fang Lang's mouth many times.

  Fang Xinshan took the time to come here today to accompany his son to visit the aircraft factory that will open soon, and he has plenty of time.

  Although he didn't understand why Fang Lang spent so much time listening to this guy talking nonsense here.

   But he is not all fruitless. He only knew that this organization called the trade union had appeared in his company, but this organization did not attract his attention.

   But today, after he heard what this guy was spreading, his face became a little ugly. Isn't this an organization that specializes in fighting against his boss?

  Negotiate with the boss on behalf of the workers, reduce working hours, and increase wages. How can there be such a good thing. What's more, he wants to organize everyone to go on strike and threaten the boss.

  If this really makes this organization grow stronger, wouldn't your own factory become a part-time job for them?

  The more Fang Xinshan heard it, the darker his face became. He wished he could drive this **** out of his factory, but he soon calmed down.

  Because he can notice things, he believes that Fang Lang must also understand.

  But Fang Lang's performance was not angry at all, but he looked a little disappointed. Now he is sitting among the workers, and it is not easy for him to ask, he can only ask in private after the event is over.

  Finally, the event is over.

  Fang Lang stood up with a smile, and took the initiative to shake hands with the other party:

   "Hello, my name is Fang Lang, and I am one of the shareholders of this company.

   I have to say that your speech was wonderful, and I gained a lot from it!

  I think it is necessary for me to re-examine the relationship between us and workers.

   I don't know if I have the honor to know your name. "

   The other party obviously did not expect that Fang Lang, who is the representative of the factory management, would have such an attitude.

  This is the exact opposite of what he expected.

   When he came here today, he had already heard that the boss of the factory was going to inspect the factory.

   Someone dissuaded him from canceling today's speech event to avoid direct conflict with the management and cause unnecessary trouble.

  But after thinking it over and over again, he rejected other people's kindness. Instead, he deliberately moved the venue of the speech event to an open space outside the laboratory building. He just wanted to let the management representatives who came to inspect the factory today see the event he hosted.

   Moreover, he is looking forward to the employer taking some coercive measures against him, preferably allowing himself and the other party to have conflicts in front of everyone.

  He must let all the workers feel that he is determined to fight for everyone's welfare, and let everyone see that there is nothing terrible about the management.

  Thus choose to stand firmly with him and fight against these capitalists together.

  It would be great if I could get slightly injured, so that as a staff member of the city government, I was beaten by the management when organizing activities in the factory.

  If I show more heroism, then my status in the party will definitely be improved.

   What people didn't expect was that the young shareholder of the other party did not play cards according to common sense at all!

   He even took the initiative to praise himself for his excellent speech, and wanted to re-examine the relationship between himself and the workers.

   Didn't the other party feel that he was deliberately provocative?

   Didn't your eyes perform well enough in the speech just now?
