    Seeing many residents at the scene siding with him, Wang Lei became very happy. The people are always great. They have no independent opinions, are easily incited, and are greedy for small interests But they are flesh and blood. As long as you treat them sincerely,  They also always return the favor with the utmost support.

    As long as he has the support of the town residents, he has the confidence to do anything!

    Wang Lei waved his fist and said loudly: "This is a war. I promise that I will fight them to the end and completely destroy their conspiracy."

    ¡°I declare that all employees who are on strike must return to work before 1 o¡¯clock this afternoon and wait for the outcome of negotiations between the government and the employee union. If negotiations fail, they can continue to choose to strike. That is their freedom and right.  But until then, strikes without negotiation are not allowed by law and they must fulfill their duties as government employees."

    "They cannot act arbitrarily, regardless of their status as government employees, the interests of residents, or their duty to provide public services"

    "Well said!" Those residents who once again sided with Wang Lei applauded. They supported Wang Lei's approach of reducing employees and increasing public benefits, and did not want employees to go on strike, which would always bring inconvenience to their lives.

    "Rex, if you and the employee union cannot reach an agreement and the employees still go on strike, what will you do?" reporter Devin from the "Pittsburgh Post" asked loudly.

    Residents are also very concerned about this issue. Their interests have been increased, but the interests of those employees have been harmed. I am afraid they will not give in so easily.

    "Fire them, they have wasted so much tax money, what else do they want to ask for?" Brooke shouted angrily. He already regarded Braddock's financial budget as his small treasury, because it was related to his welfare income.

    Devin shrugged and recorded something quickly, but his eyes were still focused on Wang Lei: "Rex, we all should know that you can't fire all employees. The government needs workers, and labor laws don't  You are allowed to do this.¡±

    He is not one of those angry residents, so he considers the issue more comprehensively.

    "Yes, but I don't think that's a problem." Wang Lei smiled and nodded to Devin. This question was just right for him to announce his plan here.

    ¡°Braddock does not lack workers, it lacks jobs.¡±

    "If the employees continue to strike, then, according to the law, we can also hire people to replace them, including permanent replacements." Wang Lei waved his hand fiercely. He now somewhat understands Brady's point of view. The reality is indeed not as good as the ideal.  So beautiful.

    He used to always like to stand on the side of labor and believed that employers should protect the rights and demands of workers, but now, he has become that ruthless employer.

    ????????????? Ironically enough, this may be the price of growth.

    Of course, he does not think he is wrong. Between employees and residents, he must choose a side. As a directly elected mayor, he must stand on the side of the residents and the side of justice.

    Labor and employers in the United States are a pair of contradictions that always rely on each other, but are always full of struggle. The law gives workers the right to negotiate interests and strike, but it also has strict restrictions and restrictions. Employers are allowed to hire substitutes, which is the most  A fatal one.

    Without union organization, it is difficult for a general strike to be effective. Only when the union organizes labor can it pose a threat to employers. For large automobile manufacturing plants, it is difficult for them to find enough workers to replace strikers.  , but for those shops with only a few, a dozen, or dozens of employees, they can do this easily-unless there is an industry-wide strike, which almost never happens.

    The same is true for Braddock, there are only dozens of government employees, and he can guarantee that many people will rush to do it.

    More importantly, as long as this news gets out, the internal opinions of the employees may not be able to remain unified. Half of the employees would have the opportunity to stay, and they would not be willing to die for the other half.

    "Oh, he can't do that." Simone was unwilling to admit to gossiping. She tried her best to defend herself in front of Marquis and Jeff. Suddenly she heard Wang Lei's "declaration of battle" and couldn't help shouting again.

    "Jeff, Marquis, listen to what he is saying? He is going to fight all the employees to the end. He is going to drive away those experienced employees. He will make a mess of the government and destroy the government.  Ruddock made a mess" Seimone yelled in panic.

    She knows where their weaknesses are. The employee union¡¯s strike is temporary and the internal opinions are not unified. If Wang Lei¡¯s plan is allowed to succeed,??implemented, the temporary unified action will surely fall apart.

    Wang Lei noticed Semone¡¯s voice and performance, as well as Marquis Noah and Jeff Smith who were with her.

    Wang Lei dislikes Simone very much. This woman always considers herself to be the representative of the small town residents, but what she does has nothing to do with it. She is selfish, greedy, and vengeful.

    In comparison, Marquis Noah, a retired police sergeant who is a bit cold and always talks about the garage, and Jeff Smith, who is enthusiastic and helpful, have a better reputation in the town.

    "Sir Noah, you have served as a police officer. I would like to ask if the police can also go on strike without any prior announcement?" Wang Lei shouted to Marquis.

    Marquis looked over. He didn't like Wang Lei, and he didn't expect Wang Lei to call him. He couldn't help but frowned, but still answered loudly: "No, the police can't go on strike casually, they are responsible for public security.  "

    Wang Lei nodded. He liked Marquis's business-like approach. The other party didn't like him, but he would not bring personal emotions into work.

    "I think so too. Brandon violated the regulations and went on strike without authorization. This is dereliction of duty. Braddock cannot live without a police station. Mr. Noah, I would like to ask you to temporarily preside over the work of the police station and let the police station work as soon as possible."  Get things back up and running, are you willing to do this for Braddock?¡±

    Brandon is the chief of the police department. He also has three full-time patrol officers, one full-time civilian, and five or six part-time police officers.

    The chief of the Braddock Police Department was nominated by the town mayor, and the council voted. Wang Lei could not directly remove Brandon, but he temporarily proposed that Marquis should preside over the work, and there was no problem.

    "Marquis is a former police chief and a member of the town council. There is no better person to choose."

    ¡°As long as Marquez agrees, it will be more likely that Parliament will pass the issue of removing Blanton and appointing a new director.

    "Oh, you can't remove Brandon." Simone shouted, she was afraid that Wang Lei's actions would cause a chain reaction.

    Wang Lei did not go to see Simone. He stared at Marquis and said: "Bradock cannot live without police. We cannot watch the residents' personal and property safety not being guaranteed."

    "Last night, Councilor Brady's daughter Emily was threatened by a cripple on the street; this morning, Mayor Braddock's sister was harassed on the street again, and someone got into a fight in front of the town hall; this afternoon there will be another  What happened? What about at night?"

    "Okay, I'll go to the police station." Marquis suddenly said, ignoring Simone who was yelling at him and walking towards the town hall.

    "Hey, Simone, calm down, what Brandon did is really inappropriate." Jeff shrugged and reached out to signal Simone to calm down.

    "Yeah!" Wang Lei almost couldn't help shouting. With Marquis coming forward, there is no need to worry about things at the police station. Marquis has been a policeman in Braddock for decades, and his prestige is not  Brandon can be compared. This guy is said to have been a cripple.

    As long as the police station is stabilized and social order is not disrupted, and he has the support of residents, all conspiracies will be useless.

    Wang Lei turned around and said loudly to everyone: "I declare that all employees of the Braddock government, if they are unable to perform their job duties, do not return to their posts before one o'clock in the afternoon, and do not ask for leave and obtain permission,  Then, we will punish them in accordance with regulations, including deducting wages and including them in their work evaluations."

    "At the same time, I announce that Redevelopment Authority Director Rashad will not be re-appointed after his contract expires at the end of the month because of malicious rumors."

    Wang Lei made a strong statement: "In view of Braddock's special situation, I ask the parliament to convene a meeting immediately to discuss the government agency reform plan and the interim plan. If there are still members who passively protest by not being present, I will announce that Braddock will  Doc Town Government is temporarily closed until the referendum, using only temporary employees to maintain limited operations of the government, including security, fire protection, public services and social welfare."

    ¡°Dear residents of Braddock, I am confident that we will have a better tomorrow with you, and I need your support.¡±
