Chapter 704 The problem of the trade union (2) (repair)
I didn't get off late last night, and Angry Davis still got up on time at 5 a.m.
However, the first thing the butler did after getting up this morning was to send all the maids and guards in the villa away, and then go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast in person.
At seven o'clock, the summoner on his wrist sounded.
Angeli was a little surprised. She didn't dare to explore when a young man went to bed last night, but she didn't expect the other party to get up so early.
Leaving the kitchen, he picked up the brand new toiletries prepared in advance and went to the fourth floor. After serving the man to wash up, he led him to the restaurant on the second floor, delivered the breakfast that had been prepared, and then stood quietly beside him.
I just tried it.
The man is not disgusted with someone appearing around him while he is washing or eating.
Next to the dining table.
Simon picked up the cutlery and asked casually: "Where are the others?"
Angeli said: "I gave them a day off."
Simon nodded: "Very good."
When the butler heard the man say this, he said, "Mr. Westeros will come next time. If I can inform you in advance, I can prepare better."
Simon nodded, not saying anything.
The butler stopped talking.
The only slight sound of Simon Slowly Dining was left in the restaurant.
This is not a test.
Simon knew the information about the butler clearly.
This is also a very powerful woman.
Angeli Davis is 38 years old and has been married twice and has three children.
Not to mention the further experience, Angeli Davis's most recent job was to work as a housekeeper in a businessman's family in Florida, and he almost got the position of hostess.
Moreover, almost achieving this goal, this woman did not use inferior means such as actively seducing men, but conscientiously took her female housekeeper career to the extreme, so that the male owner in the family felt that she should be the qualified female owner in the family, rather than her wife who was young in her teens and was still old and keen on attending parties all day long.
Unfortunately, the final showdown failed.
The businessman and his wife did not sign a prenuptial agreement. Although they are old and young, they have been married for more than ten years and have two children. If they divorce, the businessman's wife will be enough to take away half of the businessman's property, and may even lose control of the company he has worked hard for life.
The butler was eliminated because of this.
These inhumane privacy were collected by the Westeros family intelligence team quietly, and then the Simon and his wife were attracted by each other.
The most powerful Westeros system is ambition.
However, Angeli Davis was not arranged to be with the Westeros family as soon as possible, but was temporarily in charge of the Gralf family.
Simon never stings with the people around him.
Angeli Davis's eldest son is 18 years old. Under the arrangement of the Westeros system, although his academic performance is average, he successfully entered Yale University this year.
In recent years, the Simon couple has been increasing their donations to various universities in North America. In addition to their long-term and deep-seated layout, the most direct benefit is that they can easily obtain admission quotas from these first-class universities. Simon never wastes these quotas, either as favors, as rewards, or as children's benefits for the family service team. A group of students are recommended to enter these universities every year.
For first-class universities in the United States, learning knowledge is second to the point, and the key is to manage connections.
By crossing this threshold, many people are equivalent to changing their own class.
The younger son and daughter of the housekeeper also entered the best private schools in Manhattan and were fully funded by the Westeros system.
Simon did this to cultivate reserve forces for the Westeros system.
In the future, these young people who have developed under the influence of the long-term funding of the Westerosian system will become purer and more loyal ‘Westerosian’.
As for the butler herself, she naturally had to serve the Westeros family for a few years. Then, no matter what the other party had ambitions, as long as she could show her due abilities, Simon didn't mind giving the other party the opportunity to continue climbing up.
Simon left 92nd Street after breakfast.
In the villa, the butler packed up the tableware used by the man and started to take care of other housework. From beginning to end, he never thought about taking the initiative to go upstairs to take a look.
He started working in this profession at the age of sixteen. Over the years, Angeli Davis has experienced too many things within the wealthy family. Some people think that they have grasped some of the private interests of the rich and become restless, and their fate is often very miserable. The world she has experienced has evaporated more than once or twice.
In the steel jungle, how could some mountain boars and rats covet at the top of the food chain?
Therefore, Angeli Davis understood his duty to keep a close eye.
Including the last time.
In fact, from the beginning, the butler knew that she was unlikely to succeed. The man did not like him so much, and he lacked the decision that a strong man should have. When the couple had a confrontation, the butler, who roughly expected the final result, quickly chose to quit voluntarily and moved out of Florida with his three children, without any delay.
As for the job in front of him, Angeli Davis actually doesn't have much ambitions.
It is rumored that a young man likes mature women. If the other party needs it, she will not refuse, but she does not expect the other party to be as hot-headed as her previous employer.
Moreover, compared with Sofia Fessi, Claire Gain and other women who came out of the Westeros family, Angry Davis knew his weight very well. Those women already had excellent personal abilities, so they could also be at ease after switching to other people.
And she is just an existence who has been a maid for people since she was 16 years old.
The annual salary soared from $80,000 in the previous job to $200,000. It also has the best medical care, housing and transportation benefits, including the future of three children, and Angeli Davis didn't dare to ask for more.
At around eight o'clock, Victoria, the youngest daughter of the Gralf family, finally went downstairs and went straight to the restaurant.
Last night's experience made Angry no longer think that the other party was a harmless young girl. He did not express any inappropriateness to the obvious abnormality of Victoria when she walked. After the butler greeted her politely, he served breakfast to the girl.
I probably understand that if it weren't for eating, the girl might not have gotten out of bed all day.
It has long been discovered that girls have psychological shadows about hunger.
These days, the butler has felt more than once that for Victoria Gralf, there seems to be nothing more important than eating.
In the restaurant, after the girl had enough food and drink, she moved upstairs again with unnatural steps. Before leaving, she did not forget to remind Angre to call her to get up at lunch, and then told her that she wanted to eat seafood at noon.
The girl's mother and sister are allergic to some shellfish and seafood, which is not serious, but the feeling of spots and itchy spots on her body will definitely make people crazy.
The relationship between mother and daughter has never been very good. In the past, Angeli only felt that the girl made such a request to be angry with her mother and sister. Now she understands that she really doesn't care, or even hopes that something will happen.
The other mother and daughter did not go downstairs until noon approached when the butler was called upstairs.
Last night's punishment, the man asked her to stare after the butler brought two bowls of water, and then hugged Victoria and left the living room on the fourth floor.
Angeli watched the two women kneel from 11 o'clock in the evening to 1 o'clock in the morning. During this period, Cathy Gralf, who was almost unable to bear it, secretly begged the butler to let the water go. The butler, who used to be satisfied with the mother and daughter, did not agree this time, and gave a very sufficient reason. She did not want to lose her job.
When the punishment was over, the two women collapsed directly on the floor and could not get up.
When the man left, he told the two women to climb upstairs after the punishment was over. As it turned out, he could only use climbing.
They brought some food to the fifth floor, and the mother and daughter were on the big bed in the master bedroom.
At the beginning, the master bedroom was first occupied by Victoria, and then fell into the hands of her mother, and her little daughter was driven to other rooms.
Victoria should sleep in her room at this time.
Ignoring the messy and messyness in the master bedroom, the butler just set up a small table on the big bed and then put food on it.
Because Angry did not agree to let the water go last night, Cathy Gralf looked at the butler with obvious resentment, but the butler didn't care. Compared to this eldest daughter who was both happy and angry, she was even more afraid of Victoria now.
Facing the hostile gaze of the mother and daughter calmly, Angry set up lunch and exited the bedroom.
In fact, I also thought that the two women should need some ointment to treat bruises, but the female housekeeper who was definitely conscientious in the past rarely neglected today.
He is also a smart person. Not to mention Grace's past reminder, the experience from last night to the present also made the butler realize that she only needs to be loyal to Simon Westeros. For the three women in this villa, it is duty to do anything to them. If they don't do their job, they will have no choice.
Of course, Angeli would not surpass anything because of this.
It is very clear that there are people who are responsible for staring here for a long time. Even if the man doesn't care about the three vases in the villa, there will definitely be no servant who is willing to go forward or retreat.
Simon's morning arrangement was to discuss matters related to the midterm elections with Paul Spetz, another head of the Westeros family's political field.
In the 1994 midterm elections, which will be voted in November, the Westeros system's "sniper plan" and the plan to maintain the political foundation are going well.
Sen. Craig Emmes, a Democratic Wisconsin who lashed out at the Westeros system in the first half of the year, was struggling to cope with this period after being exposed for sending a college recommendation letter for a sexual assaulter.
Because the rich child who received the letter of recommendation from Mr. Congressman was a completely habitual offender, and the victims were all girls from ordinary or even lower-class families. Things became increasingly serious. No matter how Mr. Congressman refused to get rid of it, as other scandals were exposed, especially in this school season, another young man who had just been recommended by Mr. Congressman was also exposed by the media for his poor record of ignorance and ignorance. His approval rating in Wisconsin has dropped to a very embarrassing number.
Of course, there is no shortage of the results of the Westeros system's efforts to operate.
The MP obviously knew this and had even quietly spoken to the Westeros system through some relations. However, there was no turning back. Since it was already the current situation, Simon certainly had no intention of stopping.
In this year's midterm elections, due to the lack of clear social issues and political programs, American states are staged farce of exposing each other's shortcomings and exploding scandals, and the campaign budget has also soared under the promotion of all parties. These are very beneficial to the Westeros system, which has no shortage of resources in both aspects.
Throughout the morning, Paul Spetz, who was gradually entrusted with important tasks by Simon, introduced in detail the promotion results of his responsibility for a series of "projects".
As noon approached, Spetz looked at his memorandum again and raised the last issue: "There is one more thing, Mr. Westeros, about the union. A number of newly built logistics and distribution centers in various places have begun to be put into trial operation this year. I found that Egret is operating to prevent workers from forming trade unions from forming trade unions. However, I hope this matter can be delayed a little, at least not too much fanfare in the near future, because this can easily become a handle for those interested in attacking the Westeros system, and the members we support will also be implicated. Of course, it only needs to be delayed until the midterm election voting on November 8."
Amazon Online Mall, led by Alice Ferguson, began to invest US$350 million in the first half of the year to build a number of large-scale warehousing and logistics distribution centers across the United States. It is now completed one after another, and several of them have begun trial operations, and the early recruitment and training of workers have been promoted.
Then, Amazon has to face union problems.
Compared with the first half of the 20th century, with economic globalization and deindustrialization in the United States, various types of trade unions in the United States have been on the decline in recent years. In 1981, the Reagan administration suppressed the strike of the American Airlines dispatching staff union on the grounds of endangering national security, which became a major turning point for the American trade union that has been accommodated and feared by both parties.
At this stage, the American trade union is still strong in industries such as automobiles, aviation, and entertainment. However, the overall proportion of American working class joining unions is actually less than 10%.
Once the e-commerce business develops, it will inevitably require hiring a large number of relatively low-level ordinary workers in the future, and it is impossible to completely avoid dealing with old unions such as the American Auto Workers Union.
For Amazon, cooperation is nothing. Once the union enters Amazon, it will be a very complete disaster for the e-commerce field, which pays great attention to efficiency.
Once a trade union enters, the union members who rely on it will inevitably continue to propose requirements such as increasing wages, shortening working hours, and reducing labor intensity. They can even passively and passively slacking off, which will only lead to the extreme inefficiency of the entire e-commerce distribution system. For other companies, it is a little less efficient and higher cost, and as long as there is still profit, it is actually nothing. If you really can't stand it, you can transfer factories abroad.
However, Amazon does not have this kind of "retreat".
Low efficiency will inevitably affect consumers' online shopping experience, thereby limiting the development of e-commerce business.
Why are all flight attendants in the United States and why violent hospitality incidents often occur? The key is not that airlines do not want to improve user experience. The main reason is that the union. The union in the United States is too strong. Because of the contract terms, it is impossible for airlines to replace the aunties with young girls. As for violent hospitality, they will be beaten. Anyway, there is a union to protect them. Even if things are too big, as long as there is a reason that is barely reasonable, the airlines cannot fire the perpetrator and can only swallow the bitter fruit by themselves.
Early trade unions can also be said to be rights protection organizations established by the lower-level workers who were in a weak state in the absence of labor laws to safeguard their own interests. After a century of development, many of the Western trade unions at this stage have become alternative power institutions parasitized in large enterprises. The excessive demands of trade unions have affected the economic stability of some industries and even a country.
Simon can't control other fields, but he will never allow any company in the Westeros system to have such a situation of being parasitic to the union.
Therefore, whether it is Simon himself or the management of the entire Igrit Company, the opinions on the Amazon union issue are very unified and firm, that is, to prevent Amazon employees from forming unions at all costs.
