Workers' laziness is not uncommon in the Federation. Workers in many factories are habitually lazy, and the situation in the Federation is more complex than here.

Under the protection of various laws and the support of workers' unions, even if the capitalists know that the workers are lazy, there is no good way to solve this problem.

The capitalists forced hard. The workers went on strike and marched, and even the lawyers of the workers' Union would file a lawsuit, accusing the capitalists of exploiting and oppressing human nature that needs rest, forcing workers to engage in high-intensity physical labor and not giving them time to rest.

This is enough for capitalists to lose a lot of money, and all kinds of litigation costs and lawyer fees will become a big burden.

The capitalists won, and the workers concerned resigned after apologizing. For the workers, he had no loss, but the capitalists lost a lot of money.

But if the workers win, then there will be troublesome negotiations between the capitalists and the workers' Union. The workers' Union will ask the capitalists to increase the treatment of workers in his factories and their rest time, so as to ease the so-called labor capital tension.

This will lose a lot of interests. Whether they win or lose, capitalists can hardly take advantage of it. Therefore, most of the time, as long as the workers' lazy behavior is not too excessive and serious, they also turn a blind eye.

Nell is also a small half capitalist. The reason why he is a small half is that he is in a state of half knowledge and half solution and has not mastered the essence of capitalists.

Thinking of this, Lynch decided to teach Nell a lesson. He took out a cigarette, lit it, tilted his legs, put one hand on his leg and pressed the other hand on the edge of the table, "Nell, do you know what is the most remarkable feature in the struggle between the working class and capitalists?"

After asking this sentence, he may feel that what he said is too vague and explained in detail, "I mean, do you know how the working class effectively resists the oppression and exploitation of capitalists and how capitalists disintegrate this confrontation?"

Nell thought seriously for a moment, and finally shook his head. His education and experience restricted him. He had been a worker, but he couldn't feel the confrontation Lynch said, "I don't quite understand."

Lynch smiled not surprisingly. "The workers fight against the capitalists through unity, and the capitalists only need to give the workers some internal competition to achieve the purpose of dividing them."

"You may not feel it, but this form of confrontation has always existed, even now."

"Among the many jobs of the workers' Union, the more important one is to unite the workers. They will establish a workers' organization branch in each factory to unite the workers and form a force that can resist the capitalists. You used to be a member of the union. You should know this better than me."

When some things are unspoken, even if they are separated by a layer of paper as thin as cicada wings, people can't understand them.

When Lynch said this, Nell suddenly woke up. His expression was a little surprised. It felt like his nose had been blocked for three days. Suddenly he breathed, and a flash of light rushed straight to the sky.

At that time, they always organized workers' collective activities in the factory. Now I think, isn't that the role of workers' organizations in emphasizing "unity"?

The workers took part in the activities together and reflected the power of "unity", so that the capitalists had to make concessions to them. For example, the capitalists turned black and finally recognized what trade union activities they were doing after asking for a half day's leave.

But... He looked at Lynch again. He had a special feeling that this knowledge was very important to him.

This is the advantage of money. Money can make people treat some problems calmly rather than sensitive. If the father and son are very poor at this moment, when they talk about this problem, Nell is likely to think it is Lynch's provocation and humiliation.

But they all have a lot of money. Naturally, they can calmly face these problems that are unlikely to make them ugly.

A poor man will try his best to avoid talking about his poor life, but a rich man is willing to tell others about his poverty in the past. If the amount of wealth is different, his mentality is different.

Lynch took a cigarette and continued, "after a long exploration, the capitalists have found a very effective way to deal with these United workers, that is, group competition."

If Nell's nose just got through one, it's all through in an instant. A cool breath makes his brain very clear in an instant!

Lynch's words were not finished yet. "Facing the enemies of unity...", he smiled, "my word may not be accurate. If it's you, you'd better not use such a word. In the face of these united working classes, the simplest way is to divide them."

"But the capitalists can't do so red fruit. They came up with a way to group the workers in the way of workshop or assembly line, and then specify an unpunished reward system to increase the competition between groups ①."

"This system is very unreasonable, but glory and substantive rewards will attract people from each group to compete for the first."

"At first, people's reaction may not be intense enough, but over time, people's mentality will change, and soon their sense of competition will increase, which also achieves the purpose of dividing them."

"The workers do not need any additional means to produce a sense of opposition, even hatred. The capitalists only need to regularly provide some glory and interests, and the workers who are united will fight in their own dens."

"If you notice this, you should find that competition is everywhere."

Nell nodded completely subconsciously. There was such competition in his workshop. The factory owner proposed to give additional bonuses to the workshop with the highest output, but there was no punishment for other workshops.

In this way, there is no competition of punishment system, but the competition among several workshops in the plant is white hot all the year round.

Even in the activities organized by the workers' Union, almost no one spoke. Now he suddenly felt that several times someone made a small report, which may have been done by people in other groups.

This exclusion developed to the end, so that in this wave of bankruptcy, many workers' opinions could not be unified, which also led to so many things that happened later.

He suddenly woke up, "do you want me to do this here, divide the natives outside and increase their internal competitiveness?"

Lynch nodded. "It's very easy, but their civilization level is not up to the minimum standard of the Federation, so we also need to provide them with some additional motivation."

"Divide them into at least three groups. At the end of each cycle, use part of the salary of the lowest ranked team as a reward to the first place, and deduct part from the salary of the second place into a bonus pool."

"In addition to the small cycle, set a large cycle. If you have seen in the football league...", when Lynch said this, Nell nodded repeatedly. He likes football, "... Then you must be able to understand the point system."

"The salary deducted from the second place will be paid to the group with the first score in a large cycle at the last time. To mobilize everyone's sense of competition and hatred, they don't even need you to urge them. They will work hard themselves."

"Of course, in order to avoid some people deliberately dragging others back, at the end of each small cycle, give each group a chance to nominate and fire more than half of the workers who voted..."

When Lynch said this, there were some angry smiles on his face. He licked his lips. This scheme is actually an improvement scheme to expand internal competitiveness.

Except for the first place, everyone will suffer. Only the first place is good, and everyone's interests are involved, including the second place.

Why not divide the worker group into two groups, because complete opposition may also lead to tacit shift changes.

In this cycle, one group is the first, and in the second cycle, two groups are the first. Therefore, we should control the number of beneficiaries, so that those vested interests who can obtain benefits can only occupy a few people, and give people whose interests are infringed a chance to change the situation, and they will fight with each other.

Nell was still thinking seriously. On the contrary, the deputy manager had shown a sudden expression. He glanced at the deputy manager, who quickly smiled and lowered his head. His eyes were full of admiration and some fear.

In fact, neither of them knows that the capitalists themselves are the first to be hurt by this means of differentiating workers through internal competitiveness.

The disorderly competition within the industry makes every capitalist miserable, so they will put forward various industry norms and standards to restrict each other's disorderly competition.

Capitalists can do this because some of them have the right to speak. For example, in some large group companies, they are both "workers" and "bosses", so capitalists can change this situation.

The working class is different, because they are only "workers" and will always be "workers" and will never be "bosses". They cannot replace capitalists to formulate orderly rules for competition in factories and workers' groups.

As long as the workers can't really replace the capitalists as the masters of the country, they can't avoid being divided.

Capital society and capitalism have developed for many years, and labor and capital have fought for many years, so that the current Federation has far more capital experience than other countries, which plays a very huge role in the early stage of the development of the international community.

A few minutes later, Nell seemed to make it clear. His expression was a little excited, exaggerated and strange. "You're really not a thing!"

He said this from the standpoint of workers, because he used to be a worker.

Lynch smiled without saying anything, and soon Nell took up the second half of the sentence, "but it's very effective!"

Can it not work?

This is at least a hundred years ahead of the experience!
