Chapter 969

The capitalists gave in, and the Daker textile factory strike was successfully resolved.

This was inevitable. Workers were not demanding these days, and the strike was only to feed their families. Since the capitalists were willing to give in, the strike was naturally over.

However, the impact had only just begun. The victory of the Daker textile factory workers undoubtedly stimulated workers in other areas, and strengthened everyone's determination to fight for welfare benefits.

This was no longer just a matter of Austria. In just a month, the strike wave spread to the entire European continent, and no industrial country could remain unscathed.

Faced with the growing labor movement, Franz was also thinking of countermeasures. How to formulate an effective mechanism to protect the interests of both labor and management at the same time became the biggest problem for the Government of Vienna.

It involved the interests of all parties, and Franz had to be careful when formulating policies.

Marjorie, the Minister of Labor, hurried over. "Your Majesty, something happened. The police in Venice went on strike too."

"The police went on strike." Hearing this, Franz suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. It was common for workers to go on strike, but it was the first time for government employees to go on strike.

Suppressing his anger, Franz asked, "What's the reason for the strike?"

Deep down, he had already made up his mind to take action against the Venice bureaucracy. They couldn't even keep an eye on their own people. What a bunch of useless people.

Marjorie, the Minister of Labor, said, "The work intensity is too high. There have been no days off for a month, and they've also asked for a pay raise."

After the outbreak of the strike, police officers everywhere were under great pressure. Overtime was common, and Venice was no exception.

However, Franz was still angry. "The work intensity is too high, and there are no days off." These problems were only temporary, and it was not like there was no overtime pay. Companies might embezzle, but the government would definitely not give them a discount.

As for the pay, it was complete nonsense. The treatment of public officials in Austria was not low, and the treatment of police officers was generally above the average. In big cities like Venice, it was even more.

Franz suddenly slammed the table. "Since they're going on strike, they don't have to come back. Send troops to maintain order, and fire all public officials who participated in the strike.

The government, state-owned enterprises, and other related organizations are not allowed to recruit the fired people again.

Inform the whole country, and tell all public officials to remember their responsibilities.

If they are too tired to do it, give up your position and replace it with someone more capable. Making trouble and threatening the government at a critical time is absolutely intolerable. "

He had to be ruthless. The lesson of the French Revolution was still fresh in Franz 'mind. If it were not for the police malfeasance, it would still be the Orleans Dynasty.

The police strike in Venice was undoubtedly a wake-up call for him. If they didn't put a stop to it, the Vienna police might go on strike the next day.

In the end, it would spread to other government departments as well. For example, there were many.

After the outbreak, the Liberia health care workers went on strike. to.

During the conflict, Bolivia, United.

The Bolivian police were dissatisfied with their treatment and occupied the headquarters of the National Anti-Riot Police in the capital. They even disguised themselves as civilians, covered their faces, and attacked the headquarters of the National Intelligence Agency. They smashed the glass, took away furniture, documents, and computers, and even set fire to the building.

The police and the police officers.

Franz had no choice but to be on guard against these tricks. As a government official, he had to look at the big picture. If there was a problem, they could raise it. What was the point of threatening the government?

As for the salary, as long as it was not lower than the per capita income, plus the benefits, they were actually high-income people. After all, most people were equal.

Marjorie, the Minister of Labor, said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

There was no need to object. It was necessary to make an example. When the Venice police went on strike at this time, they were right in front of the muzzle and became a typical example.

Thanks to compulsory education, Austria never lacked public officials. After recruiting a group of new people and transferring some key personnel from various places, the local police system could soon be restored.

After a sigh, Franz asked, "Marjorie, how far has the strike gone? How many people are involved and how much has been quelled?"

Marjorie, the Minister of Labor, said, "Your Majesty, the strike has spread to the entire European continent. France is in the most serious situation. If the Government of Paris does not handle it well, there may be a revolution.

The situation in the country has improved. Up to now, there have been 1876 strikes in the country, with more than three million workers participating in the strike.

Currently, less than a third of production has been restored through negotiations. The rest are still in negotiations. The government has increased the police force to maintain order. The situation is currently stable and there is no large-scale chaos.

It's just that many of the companies on strike have not been successful. The difference in conditions between the two sides is too big, and it is difficult to compromise for a while. "

This number made Franz heave a sigh of relief. In any case, the number of people on strike was decreasing, which was a good start.

From the data, it seemed that many capitalists had heeded the government's warning and taken measures to appease the workers in advance. Otherwise, the strike would not have been stopped.

It was not Franz's concern whether it was an increase in salary or benefits, or whether it was purely a scam.

"Well, continue to do ideological work on both sides, but don't directly get involved. The government is only mediating. If they can't come to an agreement, don't force it. Otherwise, it will end up in a mess. "

This was Franz's true thoughts. If they could not agree on the remuneration, there would be problems sooner or later. Instead of that, it was better to separate in advance.

The workers could choose to resign, and the capitalists could choose to lay off workers. It would be fine as long as it was done according to the Labor Protection Act.

Anyway, the great immigration plan had already begun. Even if there was a wave of unemployment, it could be quickly resolved. The supply and demand relationship in the labor market had changed, and the remuneration would naturally go up.

The market regulating labor wages was far better than the government forcibly intervening.

There was a huge gap between people. Even though they were all workers, their productivity was different. Some people had good skills, and some people had poor skills. If the treatment was the same, it would be a problem.

…

As the Holy Land of the Revolution, Paris was the core of every labor movement in Europe. This time was no exception. Although the strike wave began in Milan, it could not stop the enthusiasm of the Paris workers.

Unlike the Austrian workers who went on strike, the Paris workers had already held up slogans and appeared on the streets to demonstrate. The demonstrators completely paralyzed the city's traffic.

At the Palace of Versailles, Napoleon Iv had a headache. If you want a raise in salary, go find the capitalists. Why are you protesting in front of the palace?

Minister of Finance Allen: "Your Majesty, this strike is unusual. After the Dakar textile factory strike, the whole of Europe was in chaos.

Now that the demonstrators appeared in front of the palace, it is likely that someone deliberately led them. We must be vigilant to avoid a repeat of the February Revolution. "

The Government of France seemed to be stable, but it could not withstand the revolutionary enthusiasm of the people in Paris. When the strike wave broke out, as long as someone deliberately led it, it could cause chaos at any time.

Napoleon Iii was gone, but his political enemies were still there. The Orthodox Party, the Orleans Party, and the Republican Party were all Napoleon Iv's enemies.

These enemies were not only outside, but there were also many inside the Government of France. The checks and balances that Napoleon Iii deliberately designed were actually to lure the snake out of the hole.

The enemies hidden in the dark were far more terrible than the exposed ones. The Orleans Dynasty was a negative example. If it were not for the cooperation of someone inside the government, the February Revolution would not have succeeded so easily.

After hesitating for a moment, Napoleon Iv gritted his teeth: "Move the Fifth Division into the city. Enter a state of martial law in Paris and prohibit any demonstrations.

At the same time, send someone to invite the workers' representatives and the capitalists' representatives to negotiate. We must calm this storm as soon as possible. "

The position under the buttocks was important. As for the bad impact caused, Napoleon Iv did not care.

Anzoch, the Minister of Police, hurriedly dissuaded, "Your Majesty, no. The current situation has not yet reached that point. Once the army is moved into the city, it is likely to intensify the conflict and make the situation further out of control. "

Paris was different from other cities. Demonstrations had become a part of everyone's life and were an indispensable part.

Although it had not developed to the point of: when in a bad mood, when in a good mood, or when in a boring mood, participating in a demonstration every ten days or half a month was still good for the physical and mental health.

Preventing the people from demonstrating would inevitably cause dissatisfaction. If someone guided it, it was likely to cause unpredictable consequences.

Napoleon Iv shook his head: "As long as the army is controlled, the situation is under our control. Those clowns can't make a big wave.

The immediate task is to calm the strike wave as soon as possible. Now many cities are paralyzed, and if this continues, our losses will be very great. "

Since the death of Napoleon Iii, he had lacked a sense of security. Even the guards in the palace had been increased by half, as if only the army could increase his sense of security.

Whether this change was good or bad could not be concluded in a short period of time, but it was a fact that the relationship with the military had increased.
