Chapter 654： strike

Latest website: Romania has begun to intervene deeply in the civil war in Western Tooth Extraction, which may be big news for Spain in the civil war. But it is nothing to others, even if it is in Romania, the news is not too shocking.

For the current Romania, the domestic situation is more worthy of Edel's attention.

"This is how the same thing?"

Before Holmonkman, who had just returned home, could catch his breath, he was called in front of him to question him.

It is certainly not a trivial matter to be called for questioning by Edel, because Romania's largest strike broke out in Oradea. More than 80,000 workers and their families took to the streets, demanding increased wages and more vacation time, and enterprises also need to take responsibility for sickness caused by work.

In the face of sudden strikes and protests, the local government on the one hand pacified the strikers and prevented the demonstrations from turning into uncontrollable riots. On the other hand, local business and factory owners are also required to make promises to meet the requirements of some workers.

And for such a large-scale strike, the local government certainly needs to report it to Bucharest.

In fact, for the people in Transylvania, a large area of ​​former Austro-Hungarian territory, the region has the most labor disputes, and the region has the lowest wages in Romania.

The main reason is that, on the one hand, the government's squeeze on the Hungarians in the area has given some people an opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes. They recruited Hungarian workers aggressively, kept their wages to a minimum, and owed their wages from time to time.

Faced with this situation, the local Hungarians have reported to the government, but for some ulterior purpose, nothing has changed at all. This has also resulted in workers of other ethnic groups being unable to raise their local wages at all.

Long-term lower wages than elsewhere, coupled with the currency depreciation in the past two years have led to rising prices. People in the area became more and more dissatisfied. Some time ago, there happened to be a factory that fired more than a dozen workers because of the accident. Workers who had nowhere to vent their grievances broke out completely. More than 80,000 workers and their families swarmed into the streets, and a vigorous strike began.

And this is not the reason why Edel is angry. What really makes him angry is the resurgence of the Communist Party behind the workers' strike.

In the past, the Romanian Communist Party suffered severe suppression and the outbreak of the Rosso War, which made the party's momentum in Romania worse than before. With the decline in people's living standards, the suppressed Communist Party is also quietly growing. This surprised Edel at the resilience of the Communist Party.

I was dissatisfied with the fact that the intelligence department did not find any trace of the Communist Party, so after being praised for the gold operation, the intelligence department was reprimanded during the strike.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the intelligence department. The strike was mainly caused by the lowering of people’s living standards and the government’s squeeze on Hungarians. Moreover, with the severe suppression of the Communist Party by intelligence agencies, its activities have become more and more concealed.

But can this be a reason, not at all. Because this would mean that the government’s previous policy was wrong, and His Majesty Edel who made this decision mishandled it.

Therefore, this pot can only be borne by the intelligence department, who has prevented them from discovering the strike in advance.

Looking at the atmosphere in front of him, Edel didn't dare to show Holmonkman, thinking that his attitude towards intelligence work has always been serious and responsible, and this time he really shouldn't be angry with him.

Holmonkman, who suffered from the unreasonable disaster, said after seeing his majesty's anger diminished. "Your Majesty, I'm going to increase the domestic intelligence work now. Nothing like this will happen again."

"Go ahead."

After sending Holmonkman away, Edel called a guard. "Call Prime Minister Mihalaki here, I have something to order."

That's right, it's time for Edel to make changes to the ethnic policy he has been implementing.

...

"Your Majesty, I don't know what you want to do with me?"

As soon as Prime Minister Mihalaki came up, he asked about the reason for the summoning. In fact, he had some guesses on the way here, but this was just a guess, and he still needs to confirm it.

Edel asked straightforwardly without circumstance. "What do you think of the Oradea strike?"

Facing Edel's inquiry, Prime Minister Mihalaki replied without even thinking about it. "Your Majesty, this is just a small handful of black-hearted factories squeezing workers, leading to the expansion of labor-management conflicts. Your Majesty need not be too alarmed about this, I believe it will be resolved soon."

Hearing what the Prime Minister said, Edel knew that this was because the Prime Minister did not want to blame the local government too much, because they were just implementing policies.

"So how does the government plan to respond to this strike? There has been an increase in strikes and protests in China recently."

Prime Minister Mihalaki heard Edel's inquiry and knew that this was just rhetoric, and there was some growth in this area, which was completely double the growth rate two years ago.

Regarding Edel's sudden inquiries about the way to deal with the strike, Prime Minister Mihalaki's heart moved. Does Your Majesty have any other opinions on this? Because according to the original method, the government organizes negotiations between labor and management and tries to bring together the opinions of the two parties. And now your Majesty asks, there must be other opinions.

"I don't know what your Majesty thinks, what should be done?"

The Prime Minister, who has a scrutiny in his heart, intends to ask Edel's opinion first.

Since the Prime Minister asked, Edel did not hide it. "I think it is mainly caused by the low wages in the region because it is somewhat unfair to the workers in the region. As far as I know, wages in the west of Transylvania are 10-15% lower than in other regions. I think something is unreasonable."

Edel said his opinions, so that the Prime Minister had a bottom in his heart. Because the salary in this area is low, the reason is many factors. And since your Majesty has hinted, then you need to adjust the policy in the area.

In fact, Mihalaki is very clear about the oppression encountered by the Hungarians But who made him commit too many crimes before. And these people who are still in Romania are basically being subdued. Maybe we can let go of their suppression and return to normal levels.

Prime Minister Mihalaki, who wanted to understand, took Eder's words. "Your Majesty is wise, the salary in this area was indeed low before, and those factories were too squeezed, which is not a good thing for the government. Then you can take this opportunity to raise the salary level in this area to a state that is equal to that in other areas.

Of course, this flat is flat to the baseline, so that the salary level is not too conspicuous. And many policies aimed at the Hungarians will gradually lift the ban.

Now that the government has made the decision, the leadership of the subsequent negotiations lies in the hands of the government. In the face of a skewed government, the capital side is completely unable to resist and directly accepts the outcome of salary increases.

Of course, in order to prevent the laborers from taking the opportunity to raise their demands, the government said to its negotiators that this time it can only talk about the outcome of such a conflict. If the trouble continues, the government will no longer intervene.

The worker who has obtained the desired result is already very satisfied with being able to negotiate such a result.
