Capítulo 1658: Chapter 615: Conflict (Part 2)
In the end, Franklin Roosevelt was re-elected as President of the United States, and John Lewis began to think he was qualified to dialogue with Donnie!
If politics were really calculated this way, there would be no outstanding politicians in this world.
“Lewis, regardless of whom Donnie supported before, or whether they ultimately won, you cannot deny Donnie Block’s influence in the United States.
Or do you truly believe that in terms of financial resources or influence, you surpass Donnie Block?”
What Francis Parsons actually wanted to say was, if you were really that important to Franklin Roosevelt.
Why did Franklin Roosevelt et with Donnie right after his re-election?
Such words are not suitable for a mature politician to express, and they would also cause trouble for Franklin Roosevelt, so Francis Parsons chose a different approach.
“In terms of financial resources, I naturally can’t compare with Donnie Block, because I have hundreds of thousands of workers behind , and I must fight for their welfare!”
Seeing John Lewis, who was already sowhat possessed, Francis Parsons knew that this was not the ti to hope to persuade him.
The negotiations between the two finally ended in failure.
“This situation feels a bit off!”
After listening to Francis Parsons’ account, Donnie slightly frowned.
John Lewis being reckless is true, but after all, he is the chairman of the CIO.
Donnie always believed that for soone to beco the leader of an organization influencing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people,
such a person could not just be rely reckless; if he was acting recklessly,
then that recklessness must be intentional, to show his opponents.
“Even if this person really wants to do sothing, he must have his own demands!”
After hearing Donnie’s words, Michael pondered for a mont and said, “Now even without asking to et with you, his attitude is so firm.
The reason he can do so must be that he possesses a trump card unknown to us, and he is certain that this card will make us cautious, so when he plays it, we will go to him willingly.”
Francis Parsons looked in surprise at Michael, who was not yet 15 years old.
Is this the kind of thinking a minor should have?
Even he had only thought of it after Donnie had finished talking.
Now the other side realized it almost simultaneously with him.
This is sowhat astounding!
How did Donnie Block educate his son?
It’s enviable.
Donnie called Mackenzie Pop over and asked, “Have there been any movents from the CIO or the Automobile Union?”
The full na of the CIO is the Congress of Industrial Organizations, equivalent to the headquarters of unions across various industries in the United States.
The Automobile Union, on the other hand, is a union established within the automobile industry.
The relationship between them is analogous to that between the White House and the State Governnt.
Although there is no explicit hierarchical relationship, there is a subordinate nature!
The current strike is in fact initiated by the Automobile Union with the support of the CIO.
Mackenzie Pop shook his head and said, “Not yet!”
Donnie slightly frowned, unable to understand what kind of trump card made John Lewis so fearless.
Michael asked, “Could it be that they have started to contact workers in other cities, preparing for a coordinated strike?”
Donnie waved his hand and said, “No, striking is not their goal; their goal is to have their demands recognized through the strike.
If they get workers in other cities to join the strike, they would have no way out unless formal talks between us break down, leaving them no option.”‘
Michael nodded, sowhat disappointed.
Tang Fei saw this, smiled, and ruffled Michael’s hair, saying, “It’s already good to think of these things; many problems can’t be resolved just by being smart, they require experience!”
Michael: “Mm!”
Francis Parsons asked Donnie, “Mr. Block, what do you think their trump card might be?”
Donnie waved his hand, showing little worry in his expression.
“I don’t know, but I think they will surely play it, and then we will know. Don’t let their issues disrupt our rhythm.
Carry out according to my previous instructions, and once they have no retreat, the first trump card will naturally be played!”
This is the confidence possessed when one has absolute strength.
Donnie has full confidence in the strength of the Venus Consortium.
It can be said that even if the United States were to suddenly collapse today, the Venus Consortium would still be one of the largest in the world.
Francis Parsons had been unhappy with John Lewis’s attitude earlier.
Now he was fully siding with Donnie.
After all, if Donnie could successfully resolve the General Motors workers’ strike, it would intimidate workers in other industries.
No strikes would be best for him.
Subsequently, Mackenzie Pop inford Governor Murphy and Mayor Simon Harrison to have law enforcent officers from the Flint City Security Departnt surround the factory!
In Flint City, General Motors has Plant Four and Plant Five.
Among them, Plant Four is the site of this strike.
The workers at the factory put down their work, gathering in groups to play cards and chat.
Not only do they not work themselves, but they also drive away those wishing to work.
Now it has beco their base.
Every day, Automobile Union mbers co to give speeches, deliver food and water.
Today is no different.
But as factory workers waited for their lunch, the sound of cars was heard outside GM Plant Four.
Workers within the factory could see the entrance from the factory zone.
Police cars appeared, and teams of law enforcent officers disembarked, wielding batons, shields, and long guns.
They began to orderly surround Plant Four.
Workers inside the factory trying to exit were stopped by the law enforcent officers.
Now, they couldn’t get out.
Faced with such a situation, more workers erged from workshops, and they looked at the law enforcent officers outside without showing signs of panic.
There are over a thousand of them, far more than the law enforcent officers, but that isn’t the most important point.
The most important thing is, everyone knows that the law does not punish the masses!
Especially when they have been inford that workers across Arica are watching their situation.
They didn’t believe the law enforcent officers dared to open fire.
If they did, it would beco a mass incident.
No one could bear the consequences of such an outco.
So they looked at the law enforcent officers outside, laughing and joking as if watching monkeys at a park.
After a while, people from the Automobile Workers Union arrived with supplies to General Motors Plant Four.
Aid to deliver goods to comrades inside the factory!
As a result, they were naturally blocked by law enforcent outside.
An intense argunt broke out, with one side trying to enter and the officers refusing entry.
Ultimately, the union mbers, lacking in numbers, left reluctantly!
This situation made the mood less inquisitive for those inside the factory.
Was it possible they wouldn’t have any food?
Half an hour later, more people arrived outside the factory, again from the Automobile Union.
More people, more vehicles.
This ti their negotiations with the officers were even more assertive.
But they still were blocked outside.
However, this ti, they didn’t leave but instead began a hard entry approach.
Drivers in the trucks, disregarding law enforcent resistance, forced entry into General Motors Plant Four.
The unprepared law enforcent didn’t dare open fire, just as the workers believed they wouldn’t, they refrained from shooting at so many people.
Finally, trucks carrying food and drink rushed into the factory, and striking workers inside erupted in loud cheers!
