Genius to remember the address of this site in one second: [New] https://The fastest update! No ads!

Although the Bupen area is rated as the most unsuitable area for ordinary people every year, there are still a large number of ordinary people struggling to survive here.

They live in the least publicized areas of the city, some places don't even have phone booths—

It happened before, and then the coin-operated phone was broken by some young people on the street.

They want the coins in it, but they don't have keys, but they have hammers or whatever.

They thought that after destroying the phone booth, the Bupen Telegraph Office and the telecommunications company would put the phones back on. As a result, these neighborhoods have been blacklisted.

Not only did they stop putting in brand new phones, they even pulled away the phone booth!

The people living here are very poor, and life is not easy to make them particularly irritable.

As the city with the highest consumption level in the federal government, it is not easy to feed a family here!

They are reluctant to leave here to go to cities with better living conditions, just believing that one day their persistence will bring them great rewards!

For example... the demolition and reconstruction of the expansion of the urban circle.

Once these dilapidated neighborhoods are included in the scope of reconstruction, the demolition will allow every household to receive extremely generous compensation!

You must know that some Xiacheng Districts are called Xiacheng Districts, but they are not particularly far from the city center, just on the edge of the city center.

Once the city expands, the land there will be priced in gold!

For this reason, many people have endured the hardships of life here and are still struggling to support it.

John is also one of them. He and his family live in an apartment of only 65 square meters.

The property rights are his own.

He has a very ordinary job and earns four hundred and sixteen seventy-five cents a month, which seems to be a lot higher than the minimum wage stipulated by the minimum hourly wage law, but it is not really many.

In addition to the current heavy tax rate, in addition to paying taxes every month, he still has less than 170 yuan left.

Fortunately, the food price of the federal government has not yet increased. The federal government may have taken into account the inconvenience that high tax rates will bring to ordinary families, and now the food transactions in various regions have been included in the scope of control.

The price of grain has not only not been higher than in the non-war period in the past, but has dropped a lot, but the quantity that each household can buy is limited.

You can buy less, but not more.

The same goes for vegetables and meat, their money can sustain them, but only there.

It makes their lives tight!

John is middle-aged and has the same severe anxiety as most men who can't make money, and more so because he lost his job so long during the Great Depression a few years ago that he's three short of it now. Months before you retire, you can pay your social security contributions in full.

In other words, according to the current rules, he cannot enjoy lifelong social security!

That is to say, this part of the pension will be refunded to him in the end, and if he wants to enjoy medical insurance, even after he retires, he still needs to continue to pay enough expenses every month.

Only in this way will he be hospitalized or buy medicines, will he be reimbursed.

He went to the Social Security Bureau many times, and he was willing to make up the three months' expenses, even if he paid a little more.

In fact, in the whole tax rate, the social security contribution is not high.

But the Social Security Administration told him that the rules are the rules, if you miss it, there will be no chance!

This has also made John very irritable lately. Sometimes he will ship to his family for no reason, get mad at his wife who doesn't understand anything, and get mad at his two children who are still in high school!

No way, he couldn't hold back his anger, and when he thought that he might have to work until the day he died of old age or illness, he couldn't stop his anger and sadness.

On this day, he came to the factory with little energy, and sat outside the assembly line to pick up workers from replacement positions.

He came a little early, a little while before the changing of the guard.

Taking advantage of this kung fu time, some people will gather to chat.

John is not so interested in these topics, he is only thinking about how to find a way to make up the cost of these three months.

Either find someone or spend some money, in short, this matter cannot be delayed.

Even if his pension is only at the lowest level, with only over a hundred dollars, it is enough money that he will not starve to death!

At this moment, he suddenly heard someone talking about social security, and he couldn't help but lean over.

"...If the reform is successful, the young people in the future will only need to pay for more than 20 years."

"The world is really getting better and better, and if it can be implemented now, we can enjoy this rule too!"

John hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about, I just heard that it only takes more than 20 years to pay for it?"

"Social Security?"

Several co-workers nodded, and the man who had a good relationship with John took the initiative to ask, "Have you been running about this recently?"

"No one told you the news?"

After confirming it, he told John what was going on, but was not overjoyed.

"Don't be too happy. I heard that Congressman Williams had nothing to do at the first hearing. Maybe this matter is the same as the previous ones, and no one will mention it again soon!"

In the past, there have been some presidents with ideals and pursuits in the federation. For example, there is a Mr. President with two windows in his head, and he raised the issue of medical reform.

And during his tenure, he tried to do it, and it ended in an accident.

There are many similar things, people always have hope at the beginning, but gradually, they also lose enthusiasm.

Only when those candidates are in the general election do people sometimes get excited about their promises for a while, but soon those agitations settle down.

Everyone knows that they are just talking.

John's expression was very ugly. He thought for a while, and seemed to say to himself, "This term's president is different. He said that he would promote education reform. Now there are several pilots in the federation."

"I heard that kids can go to college as long as their studies meet their grades..."

Almost all parents have the same idea about going to college.

They want their children to go to college not only for a bright future for their children, but also for their own lives to change because their children can have a good way out!

John used this incident to convince himself, "Educational reform is underway, and social security system reform should not be a problem."

He pondered for a moment, "We should let more people know about this, and we want Mr. President to feel that we are standing behind him!"

His co-worker couldn't help laughing, "No offense, but your idea is crazy, maybe you can get some help from the union..."

John suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment, he patted his friend's shoulder, "You reminded me at the right time, I owe you!"

He said that he went back to work, and the change of guard began.

Although he can't wait to fly to the union now, he also knows that an unexcused absence will cost him a full-time allowance.

Sometimes he doubts that maybe these various bonuses are his own salary.

It's just that those capitalists have turned it into a rope that firmly binds them!

Let yourself be helpless and unable to struggle to be exploited and oppressed by these capitalists!

This work is eleven hours.

He started work at eight o'clock, and it was seven o'clock when he finished his day's work.

This is the time when most factories in the federation are off work, or when the guard changes.

John is on the day shift this month, and next month, he will be on the night shift.

No one works the day shift all the time, just like no one works the night shift all the time!

After get off work, John did not go home immediately, but dragged his tired body to the workers' union.

There will be workers unions within the factory and a larger branch in the factory area.

When he arrived at the union, many people had already gathered here.

There are actually not a few people in such a situation as John. The Great Depression of several years has almost devastated the real industry.

Most factories are either shut down or closed down, which also makes many workers lose the opportunity to enjoy the social security system for life!

The news that is circulating on Bu Paine's side is, for them, the last straw to save them!

John felt his body recharged with strength. He looked at these people. In his eyes, these people were no longer strangers, but his comrades!

Together, they will fight for their future!

Although the workers' unions have not had any major strikes in the federal territory in recent years, this does not mean that their influence is declining.

On the contrary, with the increasing population of immigrant labor, workers unions have found new growth points!

Coupled with the improvement of the economy and the international environment, the federal production capacity will not be excessive, the goods will continue to be exported, and the real industry will work again!

Workers' unions don't need to start a massive movement to get untold benefits from it!

Regarding the recent rumors~lightnovelpub.net~ and the demands of the workers, the Bupen trade union is also very cautious!

For the trade union executives, there are not only huge opportunities, but also countless benefits!

At this time, in the conference room on the third floor of the office building of the Workers' General Union, the top members of the union were all sitting together.

Just like those congressmen and gentlemen have considered, the reform of the social security system will involve tens of billions of financial resources every year.

The workers' union is also keenly aware of the huge benefits that exist!

Congress is reluctant to let it go, and they also want to intervene!

In the conference room, the newly elected president said while looking at the information in his hand, "Everyone, please don't sit still and express your opinions..."
