The Ending Revealed: Who Lost?

As early as the beginning of the general strike, the mayor cited the social instability caused by the strike as a reason, supplemented by the impact on the exchange points, and directly stopped the distribution and exchange of food coupons.

As for when to restart the project, City Hall did not give any clear answer.

When the general strike broke out, people did not consider these problems. In addition, in the middle and later stages, they smashed some supermarkets and some people received a lot of supplies. In fact, this problem was not particularly serious.

And here we have to mention the role of Labor Union in this. The workers and workers solved part of the food gap for them to a certain extent. Some workers who did not participate in the beating, smashing, looting and burning found the union, and the union recovered Food Stamps from them in exchange, so that these people could continue to live half full and not go hungry.

At this time, these Food Stamps are a brand new kind of money, a kind of New Currency that has not been officially recognized but has all the elements of a circulating currency, so Labor Union's move is not a great deed, they can even make a fortune from it.

In addition, Mark's own company is also recycling Food Stamps, which allows the entire city to maintain a weird and basic balance. People can barely hold on, but now they can't hold on for long.

A few days ago, when people were extremely hungry, they could still go to the streets to smash, smash, loot and burn. Looking at the burned or smashed shops in Sabine City, all the supermarkets and supermarkets were gone (liao), especially the supermarkets, which were completely looted and nothing to eat was left. This also allowed some people to get some food.

The situation is different now. When soldiers enter the city, any illegal behavior will be severely punished immediately, and people no longer dare to take risks.

Just the gunshots that rang out across the city this morning were enough to make people frightened. People were really afraid to stop going out. After hiding at home, they had to face a problem - how to fill their stomachs.

And this is also a request made by Labor Union at this meeting after being entrusted. Reply to Food Stamps's promise of distributing and redeeming food as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for people to stick to it! After listening to Commissioner Labor Union's appeal, the mayor took out the handkerchief in his pocket and wiped his lenses.

He is not young, and in fact he is very reluctant to wear glasses in such a serious occasion, but time is not forgiving, and it is difficult for him to see some documents clearly without wearing glasses.

In fact, he is not very old. For a politician, he is in his prime.

At this point, he had almost read the document, and he didn't intend to continue wearing the glasses, so he wiped them with a handkerchief and put them away.

While wiping the non-existent dirt and oil stains on the lenses, he said without raising his head, "Originally, the issuance and redemption of Food Stamps has been very stable, but due to the general strike, related companies have also been affected, so until the strike is completely resolved, we will not consider reopening the issuance and redemption of Food Stamps."

He put his glasses back into the case and looked up at the Labor Union commissioner, "When will we resolve this negotiation and get everything back on track? When will we discuss Food Stamps and the issue of exchanging food?"

What might have been a small and inconspicuous problem suddenly caught up with Labor Union's commissioner and the representatives behind him. Everyone's face showed a look of thinking or sullenness.

At this time, Ferral next to the mayor took the initiative to explain what happened at some exchange points. Food supplies were looted, Food Stamps was robbed, and staff were injured as a result.

These words made those people's anger disappear in an instant. These are exactly what their striking workers did. What else can you blame others for now? By the time Ferral finished explaining, the mayor had packed away all the personal belongings on the table. He looked at the others, "Does anyone have any other questions?"

After waiting for about ten seconds, he announced that the second negotiation was over. As for whether this negotiation was a success or a failure, everyone had different opinions.

The worker representatives and union members quickly left the scene. They took the bus back to Labor Union and began to discuss the gains from this negotiation and the concessions to be made in the next negotiation.

Lin Qi watched the entire negotiation process. On the way back, he still understood that the mayor had won.

Sometimes I have to admire these politicians. They devote their energy wholeheartedly to this field, and the results they produce are amazing.

There is no doubt that the striking workers will split into two groups after today. What caused this result is the cessation of distribution and redemption of Food Stamps, or the real essence of life under some vanity surfaces, the problem of filling the stomach.

No matter whether the exchange points that Ferral said were attacked were actually attacked, at least the mayor used this reason and reason as the reason to stop the distribution.

If the vital interests of the "orderly" strike groups within the worker group are harmed, a rift will appear between the "orderly" strike groups and the "disordered" strike groups, and the rift will become wider and wider, eventually completely dividing the two groups.

Moreover, during this general strike, newspapers have been reporting how many stores were robbed every day and how much value of goods were lost. This also allowed some people to find an outlet for the dissatisfaction caused by timidity in their hearts.

Look, everyone is on strike. Some people are brave enough to smash up stores and rob a lot of goods, but there are always some people who are timid. They are envious, jealous and hateful, but dare not actually do it.

Now that City Hall has given them an excuse and a reason to hate, they have reason to accuse those people. Based on the ugliest side of human nature, they will try their best to stand on the moral high ground given to them by the mayor and accuse those people of destroying their former peace and freedom.

They may even feel that the beating, smashing, looting, and burning that they once envied and even wanted to join in was the real reason for the failure of their strike, and those radical striking workers became the targets of their hostility.

Any movement, no matter how powerful or not, once it begins to split from within, it heralds the end of the movement.

There is no doubt that the humble Food Stamps became the last straw to crush the Sabine City general strike.

In order for everyone to be able to fill their stomachs as soon as possible, and for those children who could only produce water that was a little dry and yellow to eat something useful, the negotiation process moved forward at an unprecedented speed.

On December 9, during the fourth labor negotiation process, two weeks after the last negotiation, everything was settled. There was not much bargaining. In the end, workers' wages were increased, and there was beef for at least one meal a week. The employer was responsible for a certain amount of medical treatment when injured at work. As a final result, this massive strike ended.

The mayor also promised the worker representatives and Labor Union people after the end that starting from next Tuesday, Food Stamps will be redistributed, exchange stations will be opened, and citizens in need will be helped again.

The general strike of Sabine City has come to an end, but its influence and its follow-up are far from over.

Now that the workers' problems have been solved, the next step is to solve the capitalists' problems.

During the strike, so many shops were smashed and burned, and so much property was robbed. There is no way to say this without saying, "This matter will not end like this..." Mark stood among a group of gentlemen, holding up the wine glass in his hand, and said such satisfying words in a very affirmative tone.

This cocktail party was held to celebrate the end of the strike. The initiator of the cocktail party was Mark. Everyone knew that he was the mayor's nephew. To some extent, his words also represented the mayor's attitude.

This strike can be regarded as an insignificant small victory for Working Class in the labor war. It would be too naive to think that because they have obtained some of the results they want, the capitalists will also suffer a complete defeat.

The businessmen in the room knew better than to use the rules to give themselves a break and kick the workers' butts hard.

Yes, it's a method that complies with the rules. These workers don't think it's legal for them to smash, loot, and burn private properties, right?

Since it is illegal, there is illegal behavior. As long as someone is held accountable, someone will have to pay the price for their illegal behavior.

Some ordinary thornheads will be killed reasonably and legally, not by letting them die on 《Biology》, but by telling them to get out of the factory and sending them to prison.

In normal times, this kind of dismissal without any reason is likely to lead to some bad consequences. These people are thorns in the side. They are not like ordinary workers, even if they are fired, they will only suffer the consequences silently.

The bad guys will take the lead in making trouble, and sometimes this will bring more losses to the capitalists than leaving them alone.

But there is no need to be afraid this time. They will be sent to prison. In addition, the worker representatives in their factory will also be included in the expulsion list because they did not initiate an orderly strike protest, causing some workers to lose control and causing losses to the factory.

As for other workers?

They will not continue to make trouble because their wages have been increased, their benefits have been changed, and even the factory is willing to make a certain degree of compromise on the current acute work-related injury problem. Why are they still making trouble?

Both the workers' representatives and the thornheads were sent out of the factory. This is what the capitalists gained from this strike.

In the following time, until the next general strike occurs, during this period, which may last from several years to more than ten years, they can oppress and exploit the workers within reasonable limits, and the workers will endure reasonable exploitation until the next time they can't stand it anymore, someone will stand up first.
