"Doolin!", Mr. crane stood in the corridor outside the office on the second floor, leaned over and shouted. When Doolin turned around and looked at him, he tilted his head, pointed to another meeting room and said, "come up."
Durin put down his work and looked at Graf. Graf patted him on the shoulder just after unloading the goods. "Don''t be nervous. If there is no accident, it should be the people from the trade union."
Although in Graff''s view, dealing with the trade union is only a trivial thing, the smile on Dooling''s face, who needs to face such a huge organization as the trade union for the first time, became stiff because of tension. He patted his cheeks and took a few deep breaths. "Don''t worry, I won''t be nervous."
Graf shrugged his shoulders. This kind of thing can only help himself. He can''t help Turing relieve his inexplicable tension.
In fact, trade unions are still very important aid groups for workers. Most of the time, workers can''t use trade unions, but once they need trade unions, they can play a very key role. For example, in dealing with capitalists, without the help of trade unions, workers are likely to suffer losses, especially in terms of salary. Hateful capitalists always hope to save more money through exploitation, but it is precisely because there are trade unions and the minimum wage protection act initiated by trade unions that capitalists can not exploit workers too hard.
When the rights and interests of workers are infringed upon by capitalists, trade unions will also stand up to support workers.
A famous sociologist and capitalist of Yaoxing empire once said in the newspaper: if a worker is a rabbit, a group of workers are evil dogs. We can shave rabbits in exchange for money, but we should also avoid evil dogs to protect ourselves.
Once this speech was published, it immediately caused a great sensation in the society. Therefore, a huge demonstration broke out against the sociologist''s improper speech. Under all kinds of pressure, the sociologist had to publish his apology in the newspaper. It was supposed to be over, but he didn''t die. This guy then made a new comment with only a few words - I lost to the bad dog!
The angry workers became angry this time. They beat up the sociologist, stripped his clothes and tied him to the railing outside the platform on the third floor of the Empire State Building, causing a sensation all over the country.
Dooling tidied up his clothes and knocked on the people in the conference room. After hearing a "come in", he pushed the door in.
At the conference table sat three people, two men and one woman. The woman looks more than thirty years old and wears a very exquisite suit, but the lines on her face are somewhat rigid and lack some women''s tenderness. The other two men were also wearing straight suits, and their hair was so shiny that they couldn''t even stand a fly. Turin smiled awkwardly. He looked outside the door. He didn''t seem to have entered the wrong room.
But in front of these three people... If they are the representatives of workers, Turin is the first not to believe them.
How rich would the working class be if workers were dressed like this.
The older man smiled and nodded to Turin, then looked at the information on the front table and asked, "are you Turin?" with a blink of his eyes, he quickly introduced himself, "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is frank. I''m the representative of the workers'' Union. The gentleman next to me is apduy, who has the same identity as me. As for this lady..."
When he looked at the woman, the woman nodded expressionless to Turin. "My name is Serena. I''m the legal adviser of the workers'' Union."
Frank took over the conversation and continued: "We are here today to invite you to join on behalf of the workers'' Union. The workers'' Union is a big family belonging to the working class. In the face of the cruel exploitation of capitalists, we can only strive for and protect our rights and interests if we are closely united. It has been 22 years since the establishment of the workers'' Union. In the past 22 years, we have worked together The human brothers have settled more than 17000 disputes and protected the rights and interests of the worker brothers. "
At this time, Serena suddenly interrupted and asked, "excuse me." she took a pen and pointed to Turin''s right hand, "I noticed that there is a bandage on your right hand, and there are some blood stains on the bandage. Is this the injury you suffered while working here?"
Durin didn''t react yet and was stunned. "Ah? Ah! Yes, it''s the injury he suffered during this period of time."
Serena nodded. She didn''t know what she meant by nodding. "Did Mr. Klein, the station manager, take you to bandage for treatment after you were injured, pay off the medical expenses, and give you some industrial injury compensation?"
Dooling scratched his head. "I accidentally made it myself. It has nothing to do with Mr. Klein."
Serena suddenly stood up, slapped the pen on the table and became more serious. "No, young man, you made a mistake. Whether you hurt it yourself or not, as long as you were working, it was an industrial injury. Mr. Klein should be responsible for it!" she looked at apduy, "go and invite Mr. Klein!"
Frank looked at the nervous Du Lin, stood up and walked over, pressed Du Lin''s shoulder and let him sit next to him, "it doesn''t matter. We should let you understand that everything we do is not for someone''s personal interests, and doesn''t this just mean that the workers'' union can protect our rights and interests?" he patted Du Lin on the shoulder again, "Just sit and watch. Don''t talk."
Before long, apduy and Mr. Klein walked into the conference room together. When facing Serena, a famous female lawyer in the trade union, Mr. Klein nodded first, "Hello, Ms. Serena."
Serena still had a straight face and didn''t move at all. When Klein came to one side and sat down, Serena said, "Mr. Klein, do you know about Dooling''s injury at work?"
Klein was stunned. He really didn''t know. As the station master and the station manager, he had a lot of things to deal with every day. Who was in the mood to understand the living conditions of the workers one by one? Durin didn''t say, he certainly didn''t know, and it was precisely because he didn''t know, so at this moment, he fell into passivity.
His dignified expression looked bluffing. He glanced at Turin and the bandage on Turin''s hand, and suddenly felt the root of his teeth sour. As a manager and exploiter, what he hates most is to deal with trade union people, because you don''t know what funny and absurd reasons these disgusting guys will give next second, making capitalists like him very uncomfortable to take out an inexplicable sum of money.
Mr. crane shook his head and said truthfully, "I don''t know. Turin didn''t tell me, and I don''t know anything about it."
"Then do you know what consequences you should bear as an employer when workers are injured at work?", Serena opens her book, writes something casually with a pen, and then looks up at Klein, "such as medical expenses, nutrition expenses and paid leave for work-related injuries?"
Crane was silent. He not only knew, but also knew. In fact, it is very common for porters to get injured in the station. Some workers obviously have no strength, but they are reluctant to give up the Commission. They will always force their tired body. As a result, they are often unable to bear heavy objects and hurt themselves. At this time, he needs to come out and take money to eliminate the disaster. In fact, it''s not a lot of money. The medical expenses for palm injury like Dolin are up to three yuan, and then the nutrition expenses don''t add up to more than six yuan.
But the problem is that six yuan is also money. These trade union people come at a bad time. If they come back in a few days, there won''t be so many things?
Serena''s tone suddenly rose. "What? Mr. Klein, are you unwilling to pay this fee? If so, we may sue in Ternell court."
Crane immediately raised his hand. "No, no, I''ll give him six dollars, right? I''ll give him a holiday tomorrow!"
He directly admitted that it was not worth going to court for six yuan. It would cost more than ten yuan to hire a lawyer alone. It would be better to give six yuan directly to save a little. He immediately expressed his willingness to pay these expenses and gave Turin a three-day holiday, which immediately made Serena quiet.
After apduy asked Mr. Klein to leave, Frank said with a smile: "Look, this is the power of the trade union! One of our main purposes here today is to hope that you can join the workers'' Union. Once you become a member of the workers'' Union, you can enjoy a lot of rights and benefits. Things like today are just small things. The power we have is not what you can imagine. The most important thing is No matter what happens to you, the cost of getting fair treatment for you will be paid by the trade union. You don''t have to pay even a penny. "
"Of course, to enjoy such benefits and benefits, you also need to show and pay. For example, 50% of the annual membership fee, participating in the unified activities of the trade union when necessary, and some work arrangements and guidance. If you can accept these three requirements, I will welcome you to join on behalf of the workers'' Union."
Dooling thought these people were very good. In addition, he immediately agreed to what Graff said about the benefits of joining the trade union. Then Mr. Klein sent six yuan, and Dooling took out 50 points to frank, which was regarded as the membership fee of this year.
Frank told him that he hoped he could go to the headquarters of the workers'' Union in tenell city once a week, register his personal information, file it, store it and report it to the whole country.
When durin returned to the platform, Graff leaned over. "What, aren''t they scary?"
Dooling nodded. "You''re right. They''re all good people and helped me get six dollars from Mr. Klein."
"Six dollars?", Graff glanced at the bandage on Dooling''s hand and patted on the forehead. "Wait for me, Mr. Klein owes me six dollars!"
