Chapter 183, containment
The capitalists gave in, and the strike in Dakoer Textile Factory was successfully resolved.
This is an inevitable result. Workers are not demanding high these days, and strikes are just to support their families. Capitalists are willing to give in, so the strike will naturally end.
However, the impact has just begun. The victory of the workers in the Dakoer Textile Factory undoubtedly stimulated workers in other regions and strengthened everyone's determination to fight for welfare benefits.
This is no longer a matter for Austria. In just one month, the strike wave spread throughout the European continent, and no industrial country could survive.
Faced with the increasingly intense workers' movement, Franz is also thinking about countermeasures. How to formulate an effective mechanism and protect the interests of both labor and capital has become the biggest problem for the Vienna government at present.
It involves all aspects of interests, and when formulating policies, Franz is not allowed to be careless.
Labor Minister Marjorie hurriedly came, "Your Majesty, something happened, and the police in Venice have also gone on strike."
"Police strike", after hearing this news, Franz suspected that his ears were not just a problem. Workers' strikes were common, and government public officials' strikes were the first ones.
Franz asked with a grudge against his anger, "What is the reason for their strike?"
Deep down, he had already made up his mind to take action against the bureaucratic group in Venice, and he couldn't even see his own people. He was simply a bunch of waste.
Labor Minister Marjorie "has too high work intensity, no rest days for a month, and they have also made a salary increase."
After the strike movement broke out, the pressure on police officers in various places increased greatly, and overtime is a common occurrence, and Venice is naturally no exception.
However, Franz was still angry, "the work intensity is high, there is no rest day". These problems are only temporary, and overtime wages are not paid. Enterprises may deduct them, and no one in the government dares to give them discounts.
As for the treatment issue, it is completely nonsense. The treatment of public officials in Austria is not low, and the treatment of police personnel is generally above the per capita average, and there are more big cities like Venice.
Franz slammed the table suddenly, "Since they are going to strike, they don't have to come back. Stop the troops to maintain order, and all public officials involved in this strike will be fired on the spot.
The government, state-owned enterprises and other relevant institutions shall not recruit these fired personnel again.
Tell the whole country to learn from it, and tell all public officials to remember their responsibilities.
If you feel tired and can't do it, you can give up your position and replace it with someone with competent ones. Making trouble at critical moments and threatening the government is absolutely intolerable."
Franz still remembers the lessons of the French February Revolution. If it weren't for the dereliction of duty by police officers, it would still be the Orleans dynasty.
The strike of the police officers in Venice undoubtedly sounded a wake-up call for him. If this bad sign was not cut off in advance, the Vienna police might strike tomorrow.
Perhaps in the end, it will spread to other government departments. There are many such examples in later generations, such as
After the Ebola outbreak, medical staff in Liberia went on strike;
During the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Ukrainian troops went on strike;
Bolivian police were dissatisfied with their treatment and directly occupied the capital's National Riot Police Headquarters, even disguised themselves as civilians, blocked their faces, attacked the headquarters of the National Intelligence Agency, smashed glass, took away furniture, documents and computers, and set fire;
Brazilian police and military...
These slutty operations forced Franz to prevent problems from happening. As a government official, you must have a view of the overall situation. If you have any questions, you can ask them. What is the matter of losing the chain at critical moments?
As for salary and benefits, as long as they are not less than per capita income and with supporting benefits, they are actually high-income people. After all, most people are averaged.
Minister of Labor Marjorie "Yes, Your Majesty."
There is no need to object, killing the chicken to scare the monkey is necessary. The Venetian police went on strike at this time and just hit the gun, becoming a typical example.
With the blessing of compulsory education, Austria has never lacked public officials. It recruits a group of new people and then draws some backbones from various places, so that the local police system can be restored soon.
After sighing, Franz asked, "Marjori, how many people in China have participated, how many have been calmed down at this point?"
Labor Minister Marjorie "His Majesty, the wave of strike has spread to the entire European continent. The most serious situation is France. If the Paris government does not handle it well, a revolution is likely to break out.
The situation in China has improved. So far, 1,876 companies in China have gone on strike, and more than three million workers have participated in the strike.
At present, compromise has been reached through negotiations, and less than one-third of production has been restored. The rest is still under negotiation. The government has strengthened the police force to maintain order. The current situation is temporarily stable and there is no large-scale chaos.
However, many strike companies have not had a smooth negotiation, and the conditions gap between the two sides is too big, and it will be difficult to compromise for a while."
This number made Franz feel relieved. No matter what, the number of strikers is decreasing, which is a good start.
Judging from the data, many capitalists should have listened to the government's warnings and took measures in advance to appease the workers, otherwise the strike wave would not be curbed.
Whether it is an increase in salary, a higher welfare, or a purely fooling around, this is not what Franz cares about.
"Well, continue to do ideological work for both sides, but don't participate directly. The government is just doing mediation. If you can't reach an agreement, you don't have to force it, so as not to be out of the crowd."
This is Franz's true thought. If you can't agree on the treatment and you can barely be gentle, there will be problems sooner or later. Instead of doing so, it's better to separate in advance.
Workers can choose to resign, and capitalists can also choose to lay off employees, just follow the provisions of the Labor Protection Law.
Anyway, the large immigration plan has begun, and even if the wave of unemployment breaks out, it can be digested quickly. If the supply and demand relationship in the labor market changes, the treatment will naturally increase.
The market regulates labor wages much better than the government's forced intervention.
The gap between people is huge. Both workers have different productivity. Some people have good skills and some have poor skills. If they really eat big pot meals with the same treatment, that is the problem.
...
As a revolutionary holy land, Paris is the core of every workers' movement in Europe. This time is no exception. Although this strike wave began in Milan, it cannot withstand the enthusiasm of Parisian workers.
Unlike Austrian workers who went on strike, Paris workers have already held up signs and appeared on the streets to march and demonstrate, and the marching people have completely paralyzed urban traffic.
Napoleon IV was very troubled at the Palace of Versailles. He just went on strike and wanted to increase his salary to find a capitalist. What's the matter when he ran to the palace to protest?
Minister of Finance Allen, "Your Majesty, this strike is extraordinary. Since the strike in Dakoer Textile Factory, all Europe has been in chaos.
Now the people who are marching now appear in front of the palace gate, it is likely that someone deliberately guides us. We must be vigilant to avoid the February Revolution from reappearing.”
The French government looks very stable, but it cannot withstand the high enthusiasm of the Paris people for revolution. The wave of strikes broke out, and as long as someone is guided by them, chaos may be caused at any time.
Napoleon III passed away, but his political enemies were still there. The orthodox, Orleans, and Republicans were all enemies of Napoleon IV.
These enemies are not only outside, but also within the French government. The checks and balances deliberately designed by Napoleon III actually meant to lead a snake out of the hole.
The enemy hidden in the dark is far more terrifying than being exposed to the open. The Orleans Dynasty is a negative teaching material. If it weren't for the cooperation of someone within the government, the February Revolution would not have been successful so easily.
After hesitating for a while, Napoleon IV gritted his teeth and "transferred the Fifth Division into the city, Paris entered a state of martial law throughout the city, and any parades were prohibited.
At the same time, we will send people to invite workers' representatives and capitalist representatives to negotiate, so that the storm can be calmed as soon as possible."
The position under the butt is important, and Napoleon IV no longer cares about the bad effects it causes.
Police Minister Ansouchi hurriedly dissuaded, "Your Majesty, no. The current situation has not reached that point. Once the army is transferred into the city, it is very likely to intensify the conflict and make the situation even more out of control."
Unlike other cities, Paris has become a part of everyone's life and is an indispensable part of everyone's life.
Although it has not developed to parade in a bad mood, parade in a good mood, and parade in a bored time, participating in a demonstration every ten days and half a month is still beneficial to physical and mental health.
Preventing people from marching and demonstrating will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among everyone. If someone guides it, it may cause unpredictable consequences.
Napoleon IV shook his head, "As long as the army is controlled, the situation will be in our control, and those clowns cannot make big waves.
The task now is to calm the strike wave as soon as possible. Now many cities are paralyzed, and if they continue, our losses will be huge."
Since Napoleon III's death, he has lacked a sense of security, and even the guards in the palace have increased by half, as if only the army can increase their sense of security.
Whether this change is good or bad, it is impossible to draw conclusions in a short period of time, but it is a fact that it has increased its relationship with the military.
