New York state
City of Armonk
Atlantic Business Machines' three factories, code-named a1, a2, and a3, have all entered a state of shutdown.
All employees who did not enter the factory to work within the specified time have been dismissed in accordance with the contract and have been investigated for relevant legal responsibilities.
The trade unions chose to fight to the end. They never believed that Atlantic Business Machines would rather give up billions of dollars in benefits and fight the trade unions to the end.
This is just a gimmick played by capitalists, and in the end there must be a compromise.
Who knows, what happened next caught all union members by surprise.
?The security guards who flew in from Boston took over the factory, and all employees who did not enter within a limited time were fired, and received a formal dismissal document with a letter from a lawyer.
The toughness of Atlantic Business Machines surprised everyone, and the trade unions were even more messed up.
The seat of the computer union, the ibm production plant was surrounded by a large number of angry unemployed workers, and was forced to suspend production.
Things got worse and worse. The New York State Police dispatched hundreds of people to maintain order, and big figures in the political circle also came forward to mediate.
After more than ten days
Mr. Chambers made a strong statement on behalf of Atlantic Business Machines. All dismissed employees can go to the a1 factory to sign new contracts within three days.
?The new employment contract stipulates that workers are never allowed to join any trade union organization, otherwise, they will bear high liability for breach of contract. The relevant liability clauses are very detailed, and there is no loophole to exploit.
As long as the contract is signed, the salary and treatment will be the same as before, and the legal responsibility for previous breaches of the contract will not be pursued.
?This is the result of the strong mediation of many politicians.
After all, the sudden loss of thousands of job opportunities in Armonk City has too much influence, which is related to thousands of families, and it is self-evident that the impact on consumption and public security in the entire city is self-evident.
Unionists don't think so:
If accepting the employer's package, it means that the trade union forces will be completely expelled from the factory, and it will no longer be possible to make trouble, which is absolutely unbearable for the trade unions.
The employer's statement was considered by the union as a strategic retreat, the result of the union's struggle on behalf of the workers, which meant that the employer could not bear the huge losses caused by the shutdown of the factory and compromised.
This is just a gimmick played by the management, as long as you persist, victory is in sight.
Therefore, the computer labor union revived, and arranged special personnel to persuade workers to resolutely not return to work, resolutely resist to the end, and arranged a large number of people to prevent workers from entering the factory.
? Three days deadline
There are less than 2,400 workers who actually signed the contract. Atlantic Business Machines officially opened the production line of the a2 factory, and a large number of trucks entered the other two factories.
All kinds of large-scale equipment were continuously loaded into containers, transported to the dock in New York Harbor, and went away with the giant ship amidst the roar of sirens.
Now, all the trade unionists were dumbfounded.
Damn, the factories are all evacuated, and there are still shitty job opportunities! There is no way to go back to work.
Only then did the union leaders discover a more serious problem. Their behavior directly led to the layoff of 5,900 workers.
how to respond?
Originally, the workers were doing a good job, earning a lot of money, and receiving good treatment. When y saw the factory's profits pouring in, he became jealous and insisted on mobilizing the workers to go on strike to seek greater benefits.
?The employer gave the last chance again, but you stopped him from resuming work, and urged everyone to fight to the end with eloquence.
This is all right, chicken and egg.
Mazi is not called Mazi, this is called cheating.
As a result, the computer industry union located in the ibm factory was once again besieged by thousands of unemployed workers, and the disappointment of the workers erupted like a volcanic eruption.
The location of the trade union was smashed into a mess, and the emotional workers rushed into the production workshop to smash and loot, venting their extreme anger.
If you don't let me have a good time, don't let everyone have a good time.
The protest turned into a riot at some point, and the scene was in chaos.
I don't know who set it on fire, and even ignited the flammable chemical substance, and the ibm motherboard factory with an investment of more than three billion US dollars suddenly fell into a sea of ??flames.
The fire raged for two days, turning half of the sky red, and burning this modern factory into ruins. This scene was repeatedly reported on the Quanmi TV network and became a sensational event.
?The ibm board of directors wants to cry but has no tears, whoCan you tell me what's going on?
What an indiscriminate disaster!
It was all over now, the motherboard factory was burned down, and Big Blue's huge production chain was suddenly interrupted, and it was no longer possible to supply branded computers to the market.
Seriously speaking, what role did IBM play in this strike?
Whether he is as innocent as he claims is still in doubt.
These workers were originally from IBM factories, and some of them even had more than 20 years of work experience. Big blue ibm includes unions on this plant. are quite influential.
Can such a disgusting thing be done secretly instigated to attack the opponent?
Hehe, you can't talk nonsense without evidence.
Be careful, you will be accused of defamation!
Under the double blow, the computer products in the US market are in short supply, oppo brand computers have randomly increased their prices by 15%, and the products are still being snapped up.
Atlantic Business Machines saw an opportunity. On the one hand, it increased the output of its motherboard factory, and on the other hand, it quickly decided to invest in a large number of motherboard production equipment. jobs.
Recruit experienced IBM staff on the spot to seize the remaining market gap.
In this regard, the state of New York strongly welcomes it, and IBM cannot stop it, nor can it catch up with its competitors.
It will take half a year to clean up the original factory site that has been burned into ruins, let alone a new factory building, which can be completed quickly in two years.
The electronic computer industry in the United States can't wait for that time at all, and a large number of supporting companies will collapse one after another. They need orders from Atlantic Business Machines.
In mid-July, Atlantic Business Machines and Intel reached a strategic cooperation to use the other party's x86 architecture 586 chip to produce computer motherboards.
Immediately afterwards, it successively signed long-term cooperation contracts with other accessories manufacturers, holding the supply chain of the blue giant IBM tightly in its hands.
A large number of expensive machinery and equipment have entered New York Port from all over the world, and the original factory building has been properly modified to directly install the production line.
It is expected that in early November, the new computer motherboard factory will be officially in operation.
? All employees who enter the site sign a contract that excludes union clauses. The relevant terms and conditions are quite strict, and violators will bear high fines and legal liabilities.
A turmoil gradually faded into nothingness.
? end of July
Atlantic Business Machines Corporation reached an OEM agreement with foreign manufacturers Lenovo and Fujitsu to supply 1 million computer products to the market every month.
The mold equipment dismantled from the two factories a1a3 will be sent to the above two companies as quickly as possible. It is expected that new products will be available in the middle of August to make up for the market's thirst.
The computer production line equipment of the two factories will be sent to the Huaizhou Phase III project workshop for commissioning and production.
Originally, the Huaizhou production base already had a mold production plant, and no additional mold production equipment was needed, only to expand the production supply.
The oppo brand computer solved the production capacity crisis in just two months, and soon embarked on the right track of sustainable development.
Among them, the strong leadership of CEO Chambers played a vital role in guiding the huge company through the crisis.
And seeing a huge opportunity in the crisis, he decisively invested heavily in the construction of a computer motherboard factory, which won praise from the political and business circles, and was also very popular in Armonk.
After all, tens of thousands of people have regained their jobs, and employees must always maintain a minimum of respect for their employers.
As for the issue of trade unions, no one wants to bring it up anymore. Now, the computer industry trade unions are like rats crossing the street. They are hated by the workers and spurned by the management. Almost everyone shouts and beats them.
?The leading trade unions are fighting against the management in order to get better working conditions and reasonable remuneration, not to ruin their own jobs.
If so, the workers are really fools.
After going through strikes, dozens of workers were arrested and imprisoned during the riots, facing serious prosecution charges, the reputation of the computer industry union is completely rotten, and no one wants to follow this group of people to fool around.
