Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 346 United Association of Workers and Engineers
This time the workers' riot made Perfectcott realize even though she was furious. Although she could not care about some things, she could not pretend not to see them.

To put it bluntly, the workers' problem is actually a problem of oppression and exploitation. Although Purficott has given them better treatment, this is still based on the average social level.

After all, no matter how kindly Purficott treats her workers, she cannot possibly pay ordinary workers several times the social average wage.

That's not improving workers' conditions, it's just a mental illness.

So even if workers receive better treatment, they are still suffering oppression and exploitation, but this oppression and exploitation is not that serious.

That is to say, if a so-called conscientious landlord collects 10% less from the rent, he will be called a good person. In essence, he is still a landlord class, and there is no essential change.

Of course Purficott himself knew this clearly, even more clearly than the so-called leaders of the labor movement.

But she doesn't care about this. The most important thing for her is to complete her plan. During this period, she is already prepared even if it means using human life to fill the gap, let alone just being a villain to squeeze and exploit others.

There is no conflict between being unwilling to do so and knowing that you must do it.

But even so, Purficott also knew that she could not turn a blind eye to the problems caused by this oppressive and exploitative social relationship.

After all, even if she really turned a blind eye and pretended not to know anything, the progress of the project that was affected was real.

As for what decision she will make, or what measures she will take to deal with the problem, that is her own business.

Of course, this also requires cultivating several opinion leaders among workers and engineers. At least there must be people who can convince the public, so that her will and ideas can be effectively implemented.

In this matter, all she has to do is to allow workers and engineers to speak in front of her and convey their opinions and ideas to her.

She doesn't mind when these people make trouble, and she can accept reasonable expressions of demands and fights for rights.

To deal with this problem, she first had to clarify her position.

But for Purficott, she does not need to choose her own position, because with her power and status, it is only for others to please her, and she does not need to cater to others.

So after careful consideration, she decided to handle the matter properly.

For other managers, they can choose to be on the side of engineers or on the side of workers. It is not impossible to consider being a third party.

Although time is tight now, it is not to the extent that there is no redundancy in the construction period. It's just that Purficott doesn't like such unplanned accidents.

This can also effectively improve communication efficiency, avoid something like this from happening again, and at the same time, better convey Perfectkot’s ideas to these workers and engineers.

Even if there is a demonstration or something, as long as it does not affect the progress of the project, she will not tolerate it.

But for Purficott, anything that affects the advancement of her plan is a minefield of dancing on her bottom line, or the kind of death rock.

This can really kill people. After thinking of this, Purficott thought about it seriously and decided to send someone to call Baras and the engineer representative he had met before to ask them for their thoughts and opinions.

She still has some ideas on how to manage these workers and engineers, but she needs to seek the opinions of these people who can represent their opinions.

Although she has powerful force and can use violent suppression methods, considering that what she wants now is stability, if these people really make trouble, she can only go on a killing spree to suppress it. The final consequences will be very troublesome, so This is not the first choice.

As the end of the world approaches, people's hearts will become more and more unstable, especially considering that the empire will announce the news of the end of the world this winter, and using bloody suppression by then is likely to have the opposite effect.

The human heart is like a spring. Sometimes it won't matter no matter how much you press it, but sometimes just a gentle push can release all the energy stored in the spring and break everything.

Purficott doesn't understand people's hearts, but she at least knows what people need when they face the unknown and fear.

Iron-fisted power is an important cornerstone of maintaining order, but it cannot be blindly iron-fisted and oppressive. It must always be better driven by giving people hope, even if it is just a false hope.

So when Barras and the engineer representative who came forward yesterday came to Purficott's office, what they found in front of them was a draft that Purficott had worked on.

"Let's take a look. If you have any comments, you can raise them now." Purficott glanced at them, then pushed the draft over. He also glanced at Barras and asked him: "Are you literate? "

Purficott did not ask this out of discrimination, but because the literacy rate of workers in this era was not high at all.

Fortunately, Barras is involved in the labor movement. Even if he was illiterate before, he has learned a little by himself now, so he just nodded, rubbed his hands on his clothes, and took the draft and The engineers around him looked at it together.

At this time, the engineer no longer looked as clean as when Purficott saw him yesterday. Although he still maintained his dignity and neatness, it could be seen that his trousers and the cuffs of his sleeves were still stained with dust. and oil stains, proving that what he said yesterday was not a lie.

This made Purficott change her opinion of this person a little bit. What she hated most was when someone lied to her.

"Do you plan to establish a joint association of workers and engineers?" After reading the draft, Barras and the engineer representatives beside him looked a little stunned.

They imagined that Purficott would deal with the problem of workers' unrest, but they did not expect that she would throw out such a thing.

We can't say that workers and engineers don't have to deal with each other at all. After all, we can't see each other when we look up, and we work together every day. If the relationship is really tense, we won't be able to work.

In particular, the number of engineers is often very small, and workers account for the majority.

So usually, although engineers don't look down on workers, they don't necessarily make the relationship between the two parties so tense.

What Colin did yesterday is already considered a very stupid behavior.

But even so, it seems a bit fanciful to want workers and engineers to sit down and talk about things.
