Chapter 610： Strike movement

Ten million immigrants sounds terrible. In fact, after five years, two million immigrants are immigrated each year.

Based on Austria's current population base and calculated at a two-percent growth rate, there are more than 1.7 million new people each year, in fact there will be more.

In an era when there is no entertainment, people are keen to make people. Coupled with the Vienna government's maternity subsidy, Austria's population growth rate has always been among the highest in the world.

The total indigenous population has not decreased much, but the impact is still not small. It is now at the juncture of the second industrial revolution. The scale of emerging industries is constantly expanding, and the demand for labor is also increasing.

The demand for labor is increasing, but the number is decreasing. The relationship between supply and demand in the labor market has changed, and labor costs are inevitable.

Compared with traditional industries, the biggest feature of emerging industries is their vitality. During the period of rapid development, companies have higher profits and naturally can pay higher wages.

In this context, if traditional companies do not want to be eliminated from the market, then technological innovation is imperative.

In fact, many new production equipment have already appeared, but some capitalists are too lazy to replace them in order to save costs.

This is not Franz's guess, but evidence. And capitalists complained in the newspaper:

Nowadays, the machinery and equipment are updated so frequently. Today, they are replaced with new ones, and they may fall behind after a few years. Anyway, the current equipment can still be used, it is better to wait for a better appearance, and then step in place.

The comfortable business environment for a long time has made capitalists conservative. Many people are even opposed to technological progress because it adds uncertainty.

The most typical is the era of electricity. In order to save costs, many factories insist on using gas lamps.

It's not that capitalists don't know the advantages of electric lights, but they just don't want to pay for laying electrical equipment.

Anyway, you can always use a gas lamp. If you continue to make money, why bother yourself?

The Austrian poor are not in the vast countryside, but concentrated in the cities. The main reason for this is that everything is going up, but wages are not going up.

From 1848 to the present, per capita income in Austria has increased by 2.3 times. However, the wages of workers have only increased by 56%, and even a considerable part of the factory wages have not changed.

It is not surprising that the economy is developing and income has not kept up.

Franz's immigration campaign is now in fact a last resort. If this situation does not change, something will happen someday.

...

Milan, as the capital of the Kingdom of Lombardy, has always been the busiest city in Italy. No, it should be said to be the most prosperous region in Germany.

Geography has never been artificially divided. Now that Austria is powerful, Franz has directly assigned the Lombardy region to the German region.

Regardless of whether you are used to it or not, Milan is part of the German region in all official documents. The theoretical basis is that the Lombards are a part of the German nation.

Although there are more local Italians, it doesn't matter. History can change, cultural traditions can change, and nations can change.

The international community has recognized that the Kingdom of Lombardy is part of the German region. There were many other places where Lumbar was first classified in the German region, such as: Venice next door, Hungary, the Balkans ...

Even the Kingdom of Jerusalem will soon become part of the German region. Looking at the current map of the German region can directly historians.

All natural conditions and historical factors are all nonsense. The real division basis is very characteristic of the times. Within the range of the Austrian artillery, they are all in the German region, or the Austrian region.

It ’s just the name, but it does n’t affect everyone ’s interests. Just listen to it a few times and get used to it.

Dakol textile mill is a well-known large enterprise in Milan area. Among the many textile mills in Austria, it can also be ranked in the top three.

Its subsidiaries include more than a dozen factories including filigree mills, woolen mills, cotton mills, printing and dyeing factories, and garment factories, with more than 130,000 employees.

It has an independent industrial park in Milan. At this time in the past, the factory had been busy for a long time, but now it is strangely silent.

Anyone who knows the situation knows that there is another strike here.

Austria is compulsory, and the Kingdom of Lombardy is no exception. Thanks to the discipline consciousness cultivated from an early age, the strike movement is now much more harmonious.

Everyone has clearly realized that the mechanical equipment is the guy who eats, and smashing and burning is smashing his own rice bowl.

This does not affect everyone's legal strike. As long as it does not affect social public order, strikes are still everyone's basic rights and can be carried out without anyone's approval.

Milan is heavily influenced by Italian maritime culture and is also the birthplace of the Renaissance. Compared to other areas in Austria, new ideas are more active here and strikes are more frequent.

Of course, this is not a major factor in the strike at the Dakore textile mill. Like most traditional companies, the heyday of the Dakoer Textile Mill has gradually declined.

After the Second Industrial Revolution broke out, Dako'er Textile Mill did not seize the opportunity, stood on the conservative side, failed to update the equipment in time, and became fatigued in the market competition.

Affected by the decline in profits, from 1870 to the present, companies have not increased their salaries once, but prices have not stopped waiting for them, and strikes have naturally occurred.

Like most companies, Dakol Textile Mill is a family business, and contemporary head Dakol-Ranno is already an old man in his seventies.

In his youth, he was also a man of the moment. Betting on Austria decisively during the Osa War, after the war, the rivals led the lunch box because of the wrong team, and Dakorn-Ranno took the opportunity to merge their factories, and then started to lie and win.

Taking advantage of the market gap, Dakol textile mills developed rapidly. At the peak, the number of workers exceeded 180,000, and the company's annual output value entered the top 100 in Austria.

However, this kind of industry without core technology has a common problem, that is, there are many competitors.

Promoted by the Vienna government's strategy of changing wheat to mulberry, the Kingdom of Lombardy soon became Austria's most important raw silk producer.

Near the water tower, the first month, the Dakoer textile mill enjoyed the first wave of dividends, and the production on site undoubtedly greatly reduced the cost.

Even now, the Dakol textile mill occupies most of the raw silk processing in the Kingdom of Lombardy. With a complete industrial chain, it is logical that Dako'er textile mills should be very moist.

However, with the advent of the second industrial revolution, things began to change. Various machinery and equipment are constantly updated. In order to pursue greater profits, the aged and conservative Dakorn-Rannault has not kept pace with the times.

Step by step, step by step, capital competition is omnipotent, competitors will not leave them opportunities.

New technologies not only increase productivity, but also improve product quality. Good quality products are definitely more popular at the same price.

In just a few years, the market share of Dakol textiles has been eroded by one-third of competitors, and corporate profits have plummeted.

After receiving the news of the strike, Dakol-Lanno slammed the table suddenly: "It's on strike again, this group of unconscientious things, don't want to think who is supporting them!

If we fall down, they won't even have work. Don't do it if you don't want to do it. There are many people who want to enter Dakol for work.

Ordered to go down in accordance with the old rules, fire 10% of the strikers, ordered them to resume work immediately, the slowest group of people to resume work, just get me off! "

This is the experience that Dakorn-Ranno summed up in response to the strike. Among the workers, he also bought spies, and at this time, as long as someone took the lead to resume work, the strike could not go on.

Usually those who stay in the end are die-hards, so they must be fired. As for whether it is really necessary to lay off 10% of the staff, that is not important, as long as the die-hards or the leaders are fired and the chickens and monkeys are killed.

In this age of rottenness, Dakorn-Ranno thinks he has done a good job, at least he has complied with the law and is much better than the underground black factory.

Of course, this is limited to him personally, in the eyes of the workers he is a vampire. Abide by the Labor Protection Law. Sorry, there are no big companies in Austria who dare to violate the law, and only risk small companies.

No way, the Vienna government is keeping a close eye on the law, and the law enforcement is very strong. In addition, the Labor Protection Law is not excessive, and it is actually protecting the interests of both parties.

It is not that no one threatened the Vienna government with the closure of the factory, but there was no egg use, and Franz did it very thoroughly in maintaining the dignity of the law.

Regardless of the consequences, the prison should be squatting. Before threatening the government, it is best to expect that there is no black history. Otherwise, even if there is no qualification to close the factory, all assets will be confiscated by the government.

A large part of the state-owned enterprises in Austria were confiscated, and the Vienna government auctioned a batch of state-owned enterprises almost every three to five years, mostly small factories.

With the lessons learned from the front car, the people behind were much lower-key. Let ’s just go into the law and work directly with the government, let alone!

It seems that the bourgeoisie is powerful. In fact, their strength is very limited. They are all blown by money.

Besides, who can integrate the bourgeoisie with serious conflict of interest, believe it or not, someone is a traitor?

This is most evident in Austria, where capitalists have become much less powerful when the law requires news to be authentic.

It is also the responsibility of the law to empty the gun and promise. You dare to blow, and other newspapers dare not publish it.

Xiao Lannuo objected: "Father, this is not good! In the past year, we have fired 20,000 old workers. Now many new recruits are not skilled, and the defective rate of products is two percentage points higher.

The increase in defective rate will affect the reputation of our products. Now that the competition is so fierce, if the product quality cannot be guaranteed, our market will be snatched by competitors.

This is equivalent to a vicious circle. It is better to send people to talk with the workers' representatives first, and then fire them. "

As a qualified capitalist, your interests always come first.

After weighing the pros and cons, Dakorn-Ranno shook his head: "Can't compromise, human desire is endless. Once this precedent is set, we will never have peace.

Remember the cannery next door? A savvy person like McDougall compromised with the workers in order to catch a batch of orders, and was then directly dragged down by high labor costs.

Remember, even if you want to raise your salary, we must take the initiative to increase it. Concessions under their persecution will not yield any gratitude. "

In this case, Xiao Lannuo has heard it many times. But his view was just the opposite. McDowell was still very moist when the cannery was closed. Obviously, he could not afford to close the labor costs.

There is no large-scale cannery in the Kingdom of Lombardy, which has been able to explain many problems. Most of Austria's food factories are concentrated in Hungary and the Balkans. There is no other reason for the close proximity of raw materials.

Is it possible to use mulberry as raw material for producing canned food in Milan? Don't tease, who this thing is for.

The best canned goods on the market today are all meat, and canned fruits and vegetables can only be purchased by the crew. Unfortunately, Milan really has no advantage in this regard.

But the last sentence, Xiao Lannuo agreed. Making concessions at this time really can't buy people's hearts.

As for the post-mortem, they have already resumed work. Why do you need to increase labor costs?
