"As for how to deal with strike workers, we can choose some industries that don't affect people's livelihood, and fire a group of people as a warning. To be honest, the Labor Party is still satisfied in the end this time, and cannot agree to this endless salary increase demand. Tens of thousands of industrial workers have to raise wages, and if they agree to the British economy, isn’t it messed up, at least they can’t agree to the figures they themselves proposed.”

The government made a statement about Ford's post-autumn settlement and stated its determination not to retreat this time. This aroused strong protests from Ford, but it was useless. Who cares what you think during the strike. If you are not satisfied, you can pack up and leave the UK market, and Land Rover can take over at any time.

"It seems that the Labor Party's ruling is coming to an end." Pamela Mountbatten listened to her husband's analysis. "The ruling Labor Party after the war clearly has the upper hand. It is not good if the Conservative Party is not in power. My dear, it is the opposite of you civil servants." , most members of our circle actually favor the Conservative Party."

"The end of the Labor Party can't be blamed on others. Callaghan's demand for higher wages from the unions may be due to the fact that the Labor Party has always been reluctant to take tough measures because it believes it represents the British workers. If you don't tell the unions earlier that you can't do it, do it instead. A strike like this two years ago would be forgotten today. A strike of this magnitude would be very embarrassing for Labor."

Alan Wilson knew that if such a thing happened this year, the Labor Party's approval rating would plummet. However, it was not just the Labor Party that was unlucky this year. President Carter, a rare moral benchmark in the United States, was also unlucky in his last year in office A lot of bad luck happened.

Looking at President Carter's tenure in four years, the economic growth figures are no worse than those of his predecessor and successor, but the figures for the year before the election are extremely poor.

The last year of President Carter's term of office was obviously a general outbreak of problems. This kind of black swan event was only experienced by Tang Wang decades later. The first three years were good, but the last year took a sharp turn for the worse.

Callahan, who is lagging behind in approval ratings, is also trying to save himself. When facing a TV interview, he described the strike as a winter of dissatisfaction. As Prime Minister, he expressed regret that he did not bring the British economy to a higher level, but still expressed the union's support. The demands are outrageous and have affected the lives of all British citizens.

For Whitehall's work, Callahan still expressed support, "Although Whitehall and the cabinet are not consistent on all issues, we recognize this. Whitehall's work ability is professional. It is important to guide the cabinet to make decisions. According to the evidence, Sir Allen is sometimes unreasonable, but most of the time, he is very respected by cabinet ministers. He is a tough negotiator, and I believe this time the trade unions understand this better than me.”

This time the TV interview allowed Callahan's approval rating to rise slightly, but he still lagged behind Mrs Thatcher's approval rating by more than 10%. This gap almost lost the possibility of being upset.

Unless there are special circumstances, such as the general election in which Churchill was overthrown by Attlee after the war.

Holding the remote control to turn off the TV, Alan Wilson sighed, and said to his colleagues, "Actually, the Prime Minister is worthy of respect at work. As for the lady from the Conservative Party, it will have to be done in the future." Verification, but one thing is true, women politicians often take extreme actions to gain attention in order to prove themselves. Judging from the speeches of the Conservative Party in the past six months, if, if we assume that the Conservative Party wins the general election this year, dare you To attack the trade union?"

"The Conservative Party came to power, and with the current approval rating, Mrs. Thatcher is really likely to become a female prime minister." Berktrund said meaningfully, "Are we going to usher in the first female prime minister?"

"It's just a hypothesis, without any personal prejudice." Alan Wilson said slowly, "We must take certain preparations for the future and have a long-term vision. We can't be like politicians, full of support for next week. Rate."

"They are too much of a drag on the team." John Hunter shook his head with a face full of disbelief. "They treat affairs differently. They are too emotional and not as rational as us."

"I can't say it clearly, otherwise they will either chew their tongues or shed tears." Armstrong added with a grin.

"The most important thing is that there are many prejudices, and they are always arbitrarily generalized." Berktrund smiled bitterly, "Everything you think of is the same way, and anyone can guess it."

"Gentlemen, a woman's vote is worth as much as a man's vote. It is not what it was before 1918."

Alan Wilson waved his hand and said, "Although what the gentlemen said is the truth, it is full of political inaccuracies when it gets out, and everyone is right, so it will cause us huge trouble if it gets out. Can you stand up to those Are narrow-minded shrews swearing at the streets? To be honest, they can’t, the best way is to treat them as air, we don’t provoke them, and we must avoid expressing our views on any issues between men and women.”

The supreme authority thinks that the words of his colleagues are too extreme, but he himself does not think so. There are still many lovely women, such as Hepburn, Monroe, Her Royal Highness and so on. As for Ms. Pamela Mountbatten, the most successful businessman in Britain, it goes without saying.

Since the supreme authority said so, the discussion has also turned to discussing the facts. Excluding Mrs. Thatcher's personal ability, the current situation of the Conservative Party is also very optimistic.

The opportunity for a female prime minister exists objectively. The current inflation in the UK alone, as well as occasional strikes, are the focus of current discussions in Whitehall.

"If women are too horny, Mrs Thatcher may fire a large number of workers who dare to make trouble if she comes to power."

Alan Wilson reminded his colleagues to pay attention to this issue. Although he fired a group of truck workers yesterday, it was a temporary dismissal and the scale was not large. "There is also a threat that this woman may fire a group of truck workers. Colleagues who have contributed to the country all their lives, don’t think it’s impossible, women can do anything to prove that they are no worse than men.”

"Then let's release some of the Conservative Party's tough words on workers and civil servants?" Berktrund suggested, "I just don't know if it will have any effect."

"It's not our release, it's all said by the Conservative Party. How did we release it? That's what a transparent government should do. Saying we release it seems that Whitehall has a bias in it. We all know that Whitehall has always adhered to the principle of neutrality. But ask about party interests." Alan Wilson pondered for a while, "The situation facing the Labor Party is indeed not good."

As for dealing with strikes, according to common sense, when the workers have used up their savings and have to work, it is the time for the strike to subside. However, because it is a general election year, although the Labor Party has expressed support for Whitehall, it is hard to say whether it can be tough.

In fact, the Labor Party still wants to talk. The sooner the strike is quelled, the better it will be for the Labor Party. Although the Labor Party is far behind in the polls, it is human nature to hope for a miracle.

In order to win as many votes as possible, Callahan agreed to hold a referendum on the Scottish Devolution Act on March 1 to obtain Scotland's support. The bill received more than half of the votes. Low turnout contributed to the failure of the bill.

"The Labor Party is in a daze?" Alan Wilson was very dissatisfied when he heard the news. If it is just a small problem to face the workers' wage increase demands, it is a big problem in principle to put the hope of reversing the support rate on Scotland. .

"Put pressure on the companies that have compromised the strike movement this time, choose between the government and the trade unions, and fire the workers who participated in the strike in proportion." Alan Wilson directly picked up the phone and called the Ministry of the Interior, "Brest , or starting with Ford Motors, they all made it."

In the end, Ford Motor was selected by Alan Wilson. Since the outbreak of the oil crisis, American cars have been defeated by Japanese cars due to fuel consumption problems, and even the local market has been stolen.

The automotive sector is the focus of the recent US-Japan trade war ~lightnovelpub.net~ Japan has also shown persistence different from previous trade wars.

It's no wonder that real estate can only be done in one's own country, and cars can be sold all over the world. It is only natural that the Japanese are unwilling to give up. The rapid rise of Japanese cars has made the American cars with large displacement quite uncomfortable. Now American cars are having a hard time, and Alan Wilson seized this point to start.

He did not wrong the Ford company. The strike became uncontrollable from the compromise of the Ford company, and it must be made to pay the price.

Whitehall immediately issued a new fine, together with the previous fines, totaling 30 million pounds. This is the first time that Britain has issued such a heavy fine to an American company in recent years.

Afterwards, Whitehall sent civil servants to have amicable and enjoyable exchanges with Ford. The next day, Ford announced that it would lay off 25% of its workforce as a response to inflation. The magnitude is even greater.

Facing the threat from Whitehall, Ford resolutely chose to bow its head and admit defeat. They felt that this time it was for real.

After the first company to face a strike compromise was cleared up, various companies reported that they would lay off workers to survive the unstable economic cycle, and the news of layoffs stimulated the nerves of the strikers.

Alan Wilson was also distracted and chatted with some backbench members, because Ford was punished, which made some members criticize, especially some members of the Conservative Party.

The leader of the Conservative Party, Margaret Thatcher, held an internal meeting at this time to analyze whether there have been unknown changes in the current actions of the Whitehall and the Labor Party cabinet.

"Since Callaghan's bill on the devolution of power in Scotland appeared, Whitehall's actions have suddenly become extremely violent. It is clear that civil servants have become extremely dissatisfied with the Labor Party in the face of Scottish issues."
