Chapter 1997: Another trade union issue

"Feng, Li, you should understand that this time we will give in and allow you to invest in our port, because we need to provide more employment opportunities for our people."

“Reconstruction of ports requires workers, and port loading and unloading also requires workers. But if you use a lot of smart machinery, then this port reconstruction will not only provide more job opportunities, but also layoffs?”

Feng Yu looked at Li Zeju, Li Zeju nodded and said that he admitted.

Higher efficiency and higher efficiency ensure that their ports have higher transfer rates, so that more freighters can be loaded and unloaded at the same time. Without freighters, they will be willing to ship at the port to pay for the empty ships. When you load and unload the goods, you will leave the first time, so you can make more money with the same number of berths.

And because of the high efficiency, there will be more carriers who choose to dock at their berths, especially some fresh goods, which are extremely time-sensitive. Once there was once, the port was congested, the cargo ship was difficult to dock, and the sea was delayed for more than a day. As a result, the fresh goods were broken, and the carriers and cargo owners suffered huge losses.

Therefore, the port with higher loading and unloading efficiency will be favored by those cargo owners and carriers. If the supporting dumping area is large and there are enough warehouses, there will be no shortage of business in the country where the world's import and export trade volume ranks first.

Even because of their high efficiency, they can raise a little price, and many shippers will choose to park at them, so that their profit margin will be higher.

However, it involves a big problem, at least for the Oba, which is the problem of the hired workers.

The trade unions in Europe and the United States are very strong, and even to a certain extent, can affect the economy of the country. If the union does not stop asking for a raise and ask for various benefits, the same car will definitely not apply for bankruptcy protection, and eventually fall to the altar.

There are too many cases like the country of Europe and Europe. For example, Thomson, once the top electronics and electrical appliance manufacturer in Europe, is not falling behind.

The main reason is that the cost is rising too fast and the profit can't keep up. The biggest piece of cost is the cost of employment.

In Asia and Europe, ports are moving towards modernization. A variety of mechanical equipment requires very little labor. However, the port of the country is very backward.

It is not that the country can't buy advanced equipment, nor that they can't design and develop similar equipment, but they are attacked by the unions, so they can't use too much automation equipment.

The digital revolution was first seen in Seattle and San Francisco. It is one of the most developed areas of the country and the important port city on the west coast.

According to a receipt study, the automation and robotics technology of the port of Mizhou lags behind the ports of Asia and Europe for more than 15 years. Is it ironic that the country is the country with the largest import and export trade and the most developed country?

There is a dock union on the east and west coasts of the country. They all feel that digitization will pose a serious threat to their employment, because most of the workers here have only high school education or below.

The college entrance examination rate in the country is close to 100%, because it is mainly recommended for admission. Most schools are not satisfied with the students, except for those famous schools, not to mention the numerous private schools in the country.

Therefore, the country will recruit students from the international community to fill the gaps in their school's students. By the way, they can also promote that they are the best countries in the world's science and culture, and attract some foreign talents to become citizens of the country and create wealth for the country.

The high school students in the country chose to continue to study at the university. At present, only 60% of the students are in the early stage, while China is more than 95%, but the acceptance rate in China is only 75%. Three forms undergraduate, junior college, etc.

The graduation rate of college students in the country is far lower than that in China. In developed countries, it is also the last. Many people choose to drop out of school, and many people may graduate in ten or even decades.

But on the whole, Huaxia is more willing to go to college. The proportion of people without cultural population in the country is actually higher.

You said that such people can't find the jobs in those offices. What can they do? Only those physical labor can be chosen. When workers are, the industry in the country is relatively developed and requires a large number of workers.

For example, cars, docks, train stations, etc., all require a large number of workers. And the income of these workers is actually not low, and the welfare benefits are very good.

The original welfare treatment was actually not very high, but under the shackles of these trade unions, wages, medical care, old-age care and other welfare benefits have all increased a lot and become very heavy.

On the east coast of the country, technological innovation is underway, hoping to introduce modern equipment and improve efficiency. However, a large number of dock workers were unemployed, and the West Coast was much more vigilant.

There is also a saying that the reason why Dubai Global Ports was said to endanger the country’s security is that the global port has to renovate the port and introduce fully automated operations, even cranes, which are unmanned. The workers at the dock will be laid off more than 95%.

Therefore, if Feng Yu wants to introduce the port into high-automation machinery and equipment, then Oba is absolutely unwilling to agree, which will make the West Coast workers have higher unemployment rate, which may cause the overall dock workers to strike protests, resulting in incalculable losses. It is also a heavy blow to his political and medical career.

Feng Yu did not think of this, Li Zeju also felt very embarrassed. If you rebuild a large berth, in order to stop a larger freighter, then when the big freighter comes, it is still a semi-automatic + worker loading and unloading mode, the efficiency is still very low, the profit is too low, the investment is not so cost-effective.

In particular, Feng Yu has the lowest profit because he is required to register a subsidiary in the country of rice and pay taxes to the local government. The port is very important, but there is no profit investment. Why should Feng Yu do it?

“Reed, in the future, we will hire more computer-savvy employees to supervise the loading and unloading of equipment in the control center that is not exposed to the wind and the sun, and there will be no higher security risks.”

"This is the future development trend of the world's ports. Do you want to let the port fall behind? Think about the automobile trade union in your country, because they, what is the use of cars and Colles, what is it now? Even if it is Fu Te, It’s also a half-selling business that can survive. Do you have to repeat the same mistakes in your port terminal?”

Feng Yu used the automobile trade union as an example. He simply compromised the trade union and could only drag the original enterprise into the abyss. How to choose, this is very important.
