Chapter 205 Trade Union (Part 2)

After considering these relationships, Prime Minister Bretianu called other key members of the party to discuss the matter after get off work. fastest update

"Cousin, this is a double-edged sword. If you don't do it well, you will easily be offended on both sides."

Prime Minister Bretianu called together his own cadres in the Liberal Party, and only when he explained the reason for calling them together, he was advised by his cousin Wendy Le Bretianu. Now his cousin Wentiller is the home secretary in the cabinet. During his tenure in office, he has been promoting the formalization of the judicial system, and his ability is more recognized in the cabinet and the party.

Hearing his cousin's advice, Prime Minister Bretianu explained. "I learned today about the current situation of Romanian workers with the Minister of Industry, Carrituri, and it is very unoptimistic."

Then he briefly explained what Caraturi had told him to listen to the rest of the audience. At the end of the speech, Prime Minister Bretianu spoke meaningfully. "The current situation where workers are not guaranteed must change. We as the ruling party have an innate responsibility. And as long as we can pass this bill, 1.7 million workers will be our party's biggest reliance."

Hearing the words of Prime Minister Bretianu, the top Liberal Party leaders here were all lost in thought. They are also very eager for the current vote base of 1.7 million workers, but they also have enough awareness of the difficulty of enacting this bill to protect labor. The factories that can be opened now are all wealthy people, and they know how powerful these people are. Now, apart from the royal family and government enterprises, the Romanian economy depends entirely on them to maintain.

Seeing everyone sitting and not speaking, Prime Minister Bretianu had no choice but to hint. "The royal family will not be a hindrance if we push this bill."

Hearing the words of the Prime Minister and the leader of the party, the top officials of the Liberal Party present brightened up, and everyone calculated in their hearts that the hope of success in this matter had increased to more than 60%.

"If that's the case, then the possibility of what the prime minister said about the Protection of Labour Act is much more likely, and I think it can be done now."

Antolev, who is the Minister of Education in the government cabinet and is also the Prime Minister's right-hand man, spoke out words of support for the Prime Minister.

"But this will also offend those factory owners. If it fails to achieve the expected effect, it will hurt us a lot."

There is support and opposition, as the head of the Liberal Party in Moldavia, Mikottich, expressed his concerns. The top Liberal Party leaders here looked at each other. They are not three-year-olds either. They only see the bright side of success, and they are also uneasy about their concerns after failure.

Seeing that people who belong to his own faction are all worried, Bretianu, who is the prime minister, can't stand it any longer. "Are you too obsessed with your own interests and the interests of the party? We are the Romanian Liberal Party, and our purpose is to benefit the Romanian people. Now look at what you look like, and you are all worried. How can people believe in our Liberal Party? It will benefit the Romanian people."

After being severely criticized by Prime Minister Bretianu, the leader of the party, the top Liberal Party leaders were a little embarrassed. Knowing that this is because he cares too much about the benefits and losses, for the groups who really need help now, if they do not benefit for them while the ruling party is still in power, then they will lose the trust and expectations of these people. Also far from the expectations of Jan C Bretianu and others who created the Liberal Party.

"I'm sorry that I was too obsessed with profit and loss before. Now is indeed the time to work for the interests of the Romanian people."

As Mikotitch's voice fell, others also expressed their willingness to support the Prime Minister's move.

Seeing how everyone expressed their anger because of their anger, Bretianu ignored them and continued to speak. "Then we are here today to discuss a specific outline,

Then think about it and make changes. "

Leaving aside the issue of the labor bill negotiated by the Prime Minister, Caraturi is now speaking to his uncle Stulier with what he said to the Prime Minister today.

After Stulier stepped down from the position of Prime Minister, he stayed at home and played with flowers and plants with his grandson every day, and lived a very leisurely life. However, no one will ignore this old man who can hold the prime minister's office for ten years. His nephew Caraturi also loves to run to him when he has nothing to do, and informs him of many things in the government. Now Caraturi is talking about this to his uncle, obviously hoping to get a tip from the old man who used to be all-powerful in Romania.

After listening to Karatuli's remarks, Stulier put down his tools for mowing flowers and talked about it. "It shouldn't be his idea."

Hearing his uncle's words, Karaturi asked in confusion. "why?"

Looking at his nephew, Stulier said after stretching. "Because this is not his style, I know him as a person. Bretianu has always been a man of strategy, and asking you about your situation today still asks you to come up with ideas is not in his style, so this matter is Someone let him do it."

Hearing his uncle's words, Karaturi immediately knew who was behind the command, and there was only one person who could make the Prime Minister do things. It seems that the government and the party need to cooperate with the Prime Minister on this matter, and Karatuli is making a decision in his heart.

Seeing the suddenly enlightened Karaturi, Stulier still shook his head inwardly. My nephew is still too politically sensitive, so he can't do the prime minister's job, unless he is willing to be a marionette, otherwise it won't be possible.

That night, Prime Minister Bretianu discussed the labor bill with his confidants and allies, focusing on making detailed plans to ensure the payment of labor benefits and wages. The key point is that the salary of the current month can only be deferred for a maximum of 15 days, and the deduction cannot exceed more than 10% of salary must also be justified. Of course, there are also norms for insulting and beating workers. At this time, Bretianu discovered that there was no department dedicated to the protection of labor in the government. He was also preparing to apply to King Edel I to set up a special labor department, and at the same time, the unions scattered in various industries would be centralized to become the subordinates of this new department. Romanian General Labour Union.

Looking at this draft, which gathered everyone's opinions, Prime Minister Bretianu felt that he still had to face many tests. The most recent of these is the adoption of the Liberal Party's internal meeting before it can be put to parliament for a vote, and finally the king's signature.

In fact, at the Liberal Party's internal meeting in the following days, the proposal was easily passed. All but a small number of people disagreed with the proposal. Among them, second only to the Prime Minister's side, the one with the greatest contribution is the faction headed by the Minister of Industry, Caraturi.

After gaining internal support from the Liberal Party, the Prime Minister brought the bill to Parliament for review. Sure enough, the submission of this bill made those factory owners complain, and no one wanted to take part of their profits to subsidize workers.

The bill was then discussed vigorously in Parliament. Proponents said that this is a good way to improve the living environment of workers and seek legitimate interests for the broad working class. Opponents say it risks slowing Romania's booming economy. The two groups disagreed in the parliamentary debate, but in the final vote, 98 of 157 votes were in favor, only 57 were against, and two abstentions. The rule of submitting bills with more than 60% was implemented, and after the Prime Minister submitted it to Eder for signature, the first labor protection law in Romania came into force.

In this original labor bill, for the first time, the relationship between workers and businesses is to hire and be employed, in which business owners must not harm, imprison and insult groups of workers. In addition, Article 3 of the Act also stipulates that the salary of the current month cannot be delayed for more than 15 days. At the same time, for the first time, the minimum salary standard in Romania is 90 lei per month, although the form is larger than the actual, which also foreshadows future revisions. Among them, employees have at least 4 days of vacation, and additional wages are required for working more than 9 hours a day.

With the implementation of this bill, the workers are also rejoicing, and they are very grateful to Prime Minister Bretianu who proposed this bill. The prestige of this prime minister is also well recognized among the people, and some people call him "the people's prime minister". It also excited him, thinking it was the right step for him.

Eder sees everything the prime minister has done, but now is not the time to think about the prime minister. He is more concerned about the guarantee of Romania's neutrality and the issue of the army.
