British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1610: strikes and inquiries

"In the foreseeable future, the hidden dangers of coal cannot be eliminated. As the leader of the labor union, Mr. Arthur should be very aware that coal mine accidents occur almost every year. Can you deny it?"

Before Arthur Scargill could answer, Alan Wilson turned to the next topic and said, "Compared with the world's average mining cost and labor calculations, the UK's current income is extremely unsuitable for retaining the mining industry. Thanks to Australia's distance The UK is far away, but even coal imported from Eastern Europe is far cheaper than local coal.”

"Safety accidents and cost issues, the stifling of coal is the reason why the government is so determined. If the UK becomes richer and richer, the negative impact of coal mining will only increase."

Safety and cost are the issues that Allen Wilson focused on, and then added environmental protection into it. Coal is indeed a very polluting industry, and it should be replaced by natural gas and oil in alternative fields. The UK is not Germany, and the North Sea itself is With natural gas distribution, it can be done instead.

When Alan Wilson mentioned this, he even took out the diary he carried with him. The assistants next to him, and even the people in front of the TV thought that the secretary-general of the cabinet at this time was recording the speech to prevent it from being forgotten in the subsequent implementation.

Dear British citizens have misunderstood. It is indeed recorded to prevent forgetting, but the main reason is to implement it in the Soviet Union. Britain has its own natural gas, although it does not share as much as Norway.

But Germany did not. He hoped that the Soviet Union could increase the price of natural gas imports and contribute to the steady stagnation of the German industrial system.

In fact, these speeches are enough to conquer most of the audience in front of the TV. However, many problems are not justified by anyone. In the final analysis, they are **** problems. What the secretary general of the cabinet said is so good and so reasonable, but it is still not conquered. Thur Scargill, what if natural gas successfully absorbed the coal workers and re-employed them?

The natural gas industry union has its own union leader. He is the leader of the coal union, but he cannot drive out the leader of the natural gas union and lead the natural gas union himself.

Last year, 20 mines were forcibly closed, causing 20,000 miners to lose their jobs. The fire of dissatisfaction has already been planted in the hearts of the miners. What's more, Arthur Scargill has already made a promise to let the government compromise that he can increase his salary by 15%, and he will not compromise before that.

This kind of reason why the government does not respect the rights and interests of workers, ushered in Alan Wilson's condescending eyes, and honestly persuaded, "The spirit of resistance is precious, but you can't win."

"Never seen such an arrogant speech!" Arthur Scalgill said angrily. "The government wants to take away the jobs we love, but wants to leave us indifferent."

"Times have changed. The general strike in 1926 was an era when coal was almost the only energy option. Now it is different." Alan Wilson responded calmly, "The government has made all preparations, and the coal union cannot victorious."

Since the words are not speculative, the secretary-general of the cabinet can only express the government's tough stance, and hope that the coal union can rein in the precipice. Otherwise, ladies with the same status as wives may watch TV, and image is also very important, especially Monroe, this silly girl is very sympathetic to the bottom class, and she must do her best.

This time, the communication, which was very concerned, finally broke down under the watchful eyes of the heavy-faced cabinet secretary. At this point, only time will tell who is wrong and who is right.

Alan Wilson's last sentence was that he would never close the door to negotiations. Even if he wins this time against the trade unions, Whitehall will still do its best to complete the industrial upgrading of the UK.

After two weeks of calm, 100,000 workers in 81 mines across the country took the lead in a massive strike. Striking workers in some mines even had face-to-face conflicts with the police.

At this time, Alan Wilson was expressing his exhausted heart for the United Kingdom at Hepburn, so Hepburn should provide superior logistical support.

By the time Mrs Thatcher pressed the Metropolitan Police to arrest her loyalists, he had been lying in Monroe's apartment watching coal union leader Arthur Scargill make a splash on television.

In a few days, the strike expanded to one hundred and forty mines. Eighty percent of the mines in the country have stopped production, and the coal miners involved in the strike wave account for about ninety percent of the total number of miners.

Arthur Scargill, strike leader and president of the coal miners' union, became an instant political and media sensation. He ran among the major coal mines, calling on the workers to unite and struggle until the government was forced to withdraw the order to close the coal mines.

Scargill publicly declared that if the government is ordered to shut down the mines without doing anything and keeping silent, the rights and interests of workers will be violated even more, the prestige of trade unions will also be wiped out, and the Thatcher government will wantonly suppress workers exercise.

"How long will this strike last?" Monroe sighed, and looked at her man with a questioning look, "Do you have to use such a fierce situation to fight against?"

"It is also possible to use private armed forces to clean up workers like the United States, but the national conditions are different. It is easy to hide such things in the United States, and the UK is too small." Alan Wilson opened his mouth, "Our purpose is not to let workers Unemployment, the approach President Reagan took, does not suit Britain."

The so-called President Reagan's method is that three years ago, the American professional air traffic control union with 15,000 members announced a strike. Members are federal government employees employed by the Federal Aviation Administration.

The government rejected the terms of the strike, and President Reagan ordered them back to work within two days. The unions didn't accept it, and the government fired 11,000 workers, barring them from working as federal employees for life. This is the famous strike event in American history.

First of all, the size of the air traffic control union in the United States cannot be compared with the size of the coal union in the United Kingdom. The rest must explain the benefits of a large basic market.

In terms of the size of the United States, 15,000 people making trouble is really not a big deal. The reason why it affects the travel of many Americans is that it is affected.

As for the vacancies left by the dismissed employees, the United States has its own national conditions here, so it is natural to outsource the solution. The federal government has gradually outsourced some of the tower services that were managed by government employees in the past. Outsourcing saved costs, but also caused path dependence. After that, the United States began to outsource a large number of jobs, which played an inestimable role in hollowing out American industries.

Alan Wilson is not prepared to turn coal workers into unemployed people. First of all, too many people may cause instability in British society. Since Mrs. Thatcher came to power, the crime rate in Britain has gradually increased, but this matter How to look at it, the demand for monitoring equipment is also a part of boosting the demand for the electronics industry.

Alan Wilson believes that as long as he persists, one day, the whole society will be in the airtight monitoring network like in 1984, and it will definitely be realized in the UK.

The book 1984 was originally written about the United Kingdom. The Secretary-General of the Cabinet will definitely work hard to make the society under this book a reality. He even believes that this will be of great benefit to the United Kingdom.

If you have to be brainwashed by a government, then of course it is the British government to complete the work. If the British government is indifferent, I am afraid that Washington will one day issue orders instead of London.

Alan Wilson is not just busy with manned spaceflight, he is also deploying materials, especially energy reserves, hoping to fundamentally let coal workers understand that at least this time, they are absolutely unable to confront the government, and the strike itself will harm society , if it is a strike by workers in a British fist industry, then the British government may give more consideration.

However, industries such as coal workers, which have been determined to be phased out sooner or later, cannot cause social costs to rise when the government has already hoarded energy, and the government will definitely not take a step back.

Safety, efficiency and environmental protection frequently appear on TV and various public opinions. Alan Wilson regards whether the coal industry needs to be preserved as a major issue discussed by British citizens.

By the way, I was arguing with Labor MPs. The supreme authority has never said that it wants to eliminate British industries. There are many types of industries. India even counts handicrafts as industries. Does the UK have to follow suit?

In terms of citing data, Alan Wilson is not like Mrs. Thatcher. The data he cites are all true. He is not like the female prime minister. He defends Mrs. Thatcher’s policy on the coal union while speaking with facts. , Britain's industrial capacity can definitely be optimized.

“A lot of people say ~lightnovelpub.net~ that the Conservative government is not interested in anything other than finance. What does the cabinet secretary have to say about that.” Former prime minister, now resigned Labor leader James Callahan of the House of Representatives rose to question as a backbencher.

Alan Wilson can't take it lightly. Although James Callahan is no longer the Prime Minister, Callahan is the member of Parliament with the longest re-election time in the current British House of Commons, starting from the Attlee cabinet in 1945 until now He has been elected for thirty-nine consecutive years, so Callaghan also has the title of Father of the House of Commons.

"Dear Mr. Callaghan, there is indeed such a statement. I am not sure whether the cabinet has reached a consensus on this, but Whitehall firmly opposes this decision and will fight to the end."

Alan Wilson replied loudly, "Britain is going to be a high-tech industrial country. Although the income of the financial industry is more exciting, it cannot cover the majority of citizens. If the society is to be rich as a whole, it still needs to follow the route of an industrial power."

"My cabinet secretary, I hope you will stand up to political pressure in defense of the national interest, as you have done before." Satisfied with this answer, Callahan completed the backbench. Duo performances by MPs and Cabinet Secretary.
