Romanian Eagle

Chapter 654 Strike

The latest website: Romania began to deeply intervene in the Spanish Civil War, which may be big news for Spain in the civil war. But for others it's nothing, even in Romania the news isn't too surprising.

For the current Romania, the domestic situation is more worthy of Edel's attention.

"This is how the same thing?"

Holmonkman, who had just returned to China, had not had time to catch his breath when he was called by Edel to question him.

It is certainly not a trivial matter to be called by Eder for questioning, because the largest strike in Romania broke out in Oradea. More than 80,000 workers and their families took to the streets, demanding increased wages, more vacation time, and the company should also be held responsible for the sickness caused by work.

Faced with the sudden strike and protest, the local government on the one hand appeased the strike team and prevented the march from turning into an uncontrollable riot. On the other hand, local enterprise and factory owners are also required to make commitments to meet the demands of some workers.

And such a large-scale strike and demonstration, of course, the local government also needs to report to Bucharest.

In fact, for the people of Transylvania, a large area of ​​the former Austro-Hungarian territory, the region has the most labor disputes, and the region has the lowest wages in Romania.

The main reason is that on the one hand, the government's oppression of the Hungarians in the region has allowed some people to find opportunities to exploit loopholes. They aggressively recruited Hungarians as workers, kept their wages to a minimum, and owed their wages from time to time.

Faced with this situation, the local Hungarians have reported to the government, but for some ulterior motive, nothing has changed at all. And this has also led to other ethnic workers, the local wages can not rise at all.

Perpetually lower wages than elsewhere, coupled with two years of currency devaluation, have led to price increases. This made the people in the area more and more dissatisfied, and some time ago, there happened to be a factory that fired more than ten workers because of the accident. The workers, who had nowhere to vent their grievances, broke out completely. More than 80,000 workers and their families flooded the streets, and a vigorous strike began.

And this is not the reason why Edel is angry. What really makes him angry is that behind the workers' strike, the resurgent Communist Party figure.

Before the Romanian Communist Party encountered severe suppression and the outbreak of the Russo-Soviet War, the party's momentum in Romania was not as strong as before. And as people's living standards decline, the suppressed Communist Party is quietly growing. That left Eder alarmed at the resilience of the Communist Party.

Dissatisfied that the intelligence agencies did not find any trace of the Communist Party,

So after being praised for Operation Gold, the intelligence services were reprimanded in this strike.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the intelligence services. The strike was mainly caused by the lowering of the people's living standards and the government's oppression of the Hungarians. Moreover, with the severe suppression of the Communist Party by the intelligence services, its activities have become more and more hidden.

But can this be used as a reason, not at all. Because it would represent that the previous policy of the government was wrong, and His Majesty Edel who made this decision mishandled it.

So the blame can only be borne by the intelligence department, who made them fail to discover this strike in advance.

Edel looked at the atmosphere in front of him and did not dare to come out of Holmonkman, thinking that he has always been serious and responsible for intelligence work, and it is indeed inappropriate to be angry with him this time.

Holmonkman, who had suffered an unintentional disaster, said after seeing his Majesty's anger diminish. "Your Majesty, I'm going to increase the work of domestic intelligence. This kind of thing will never happen again."

"Go."

After sending Holmonkman away, Edel called a guard. "Call Prime Minister Miharakai here, I have something to order."

That's right, it's time for Edel to revise the national policy that has been implemented for a long time.

...

"Your Majesty, I don't know what you have to do with me?"

As soon as Prime Minister Miharakai came up, he inquired about the reason for the summons. In fact, on the way here, he had some guesses, but it was just a guess, and he still needed to confirm it.

Edel didn't beat around the bush, and asked bluntly. "What do you think of the Oradea strike?"

In the face of Edel's question, Prime Minister Miharakai answered without thinking. "Your Majesty, this is just a small group of black-hearted factories squeezing workers, leading to the expansion of labor-management conflicts. Your Majesty does not need to be too alarmed about this, I believe it will be subsided soon."

Hearing the Prime Minister's words, Eder knew that it was the Prime Minister who didn't want to blame the local government too much, because they were just implementing policies.

"Then how the government intends to deal with this strike. Recently, there has been some increase in domestic strike protests."

Prime Minister Mihalakah heard Edel's inquiry and knew that it was just a rhetoric. There was some growth, and it was twice as fast as two years ago.

As for Eder's sudden inquiries about how to deal with the strike, Prime Minister Miharakai's heart moved. Does His Majesty have any other opinion on this. Because according to the original method, the government organized negotiations between labor and management, and tried to match the opinions of the two parties. And now His Majesty asks, there must be other opinions.

"I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, what should I do?"

His Excellency the Prime Minister, who has a mind in his heart, intends to ask Edel's opinion first.

Since the Prime Minister asked, Eder did not hide it. "I think it's mainly due to the underpayment in the region, because it's a bit unfair to the workers in the region. As far as I know, wages in the west of Transylvania are 10-15% lower than in other regions, I I think it's a little unreasonable."

Edel expressed his opinion, so that the Prime Minister has a bottom line. There are many reasons for the low wages in the region. And now that His Majesty has hinted, the policy in the region needs to be adjusted.

In fact, Prime Minister Mihalake is very aware of the oppression that the Hungarians have suffered, but who made him do too much before. And those people who are still in Romania now are basically made to be obedient. Maybe they can let go of their suppression and return to normal levels.

Prime Minister Miharakai, who wanted to understand, took Edel's words. "Your Majesty is wise, the salary in this area was indeed low before, and those factories squeezed too much, which is not a good thing for the government. Then you can take this opportunity to raise the salary level in this area to the same state as other areas."

Of course, this flat is flat to the baseline, so that its salary level is not too conspicuous. And many policies targeting Hungarians will be gradually lifted in the future.

Now that the government has made a decision, the leadership of the next negotiation falls to the government. In the face of an unbiased government, the capital side has absolutely no way to contend, and directly accepts the outcome of rising wages.

Of course, in order to prevent the labor side from taking the opportunity to raise its demands, the government said to its negotiators that this time it can only talk about the outcome. If the trouble continues, the government will no longer intervene.

The labor side, who got the desired result, is already very satisfied that such a result can be negotiated.
