Chapter 642 The big acquisition

Lin Johnson and Dedevadai and others said goodbye, boarded the plane and waited for the Gulfstream to take off and enter the stratosphere. After the blonde beauty unbuttoned their seat belts again, he immediately asked Lyon: "Amc does not have a strong union, a lawless villain like Detroit UAW!"

Lyon shook his head and said, "American auto companies were just established in the 1950s. Although their auto unions were not very strong, they still had some influence in the factory. Because AAMC has a long-term wage arrears, some workers in the AAMC workshop were led by the union to force the board of directors to compromise. Although the factory has no actual evidence or has not suppressed the union due to operating pressure, there are always conflicts between the two sides."

Lin Qiangsheng frowned and said, "That means that the unions here do not have good means. In fact, they do not have the strength to talk to the manufacturer, and do not take the lead in lawsuits with the Amc in a proletariat and open manner. They just took efficient and extreme destructive actions, which means that the unions of this factory are very weak and have almost no impact on the management of the enterprise!"

Lyon nodded and said, "You are right. The American Automobile Union has focused all its attention on Detroit and is fighting against the three major auto giants. They can't take care of other places!"

He smiled and said, "Besides, the union men of UAW naturally understand that there is no more fuel and water here!"

Lin Johnson stretched his brows and said, "It would be better that they will only be in Detroit forever, so don't come out to harm people! Otherwise, I will find a way to deal with them. My factory does not need such a strong third-party force!"

In contrast to the domestic union that is ineffective, the US union is very strong and has great means. If the Amc union is very strong, Lin Johnson has to consider whether to continue to acquire the company.

For 70 years, the three major automobile giants in Detroit and the All-American Auto Workers Federation (UAW) have been constantly fighting. Both sides spared no effort to defeat each other. Therefore, the three giants did not have much energy to pay attention to their customers or resolve the rise of competitors across the ocean. When the oil crisis came in the early 1970s, they suddenly stunned these three automobile giants. They lacked technology in small and medium-sized sedans and lost the market at once, so Japanese cars gained an advantage and poured into the United States in large numbers.

UAW's means are very tough. It is a legal status obtained through strikes and violent conflicts. The National Workers' Relations Law enacted in 1935 stipulates that it is illegal for any company to get rid of the union, which gives American trade unions legal support. UAW's rights protection methods have also moved from workers' spontaneous violent conflicts to legal procedures. The sympathy of traditional society and the addition of the bar team have made UAW more and more like a fish in water.

The continuous compromise of the three giants has also laid the root of disaster for themselves. UAW has even evolved into a powerful organization that provides workers with iron rice bowls. It provides workers with black social protection, thus forcing a large amount of benefits from the company and even transformed into the largest shareholder of the corporate pension fund.

Among more than half of the top 500 companies, union pension funds are the largest shareholders. Union pension funds can use shareholder status to require the company's management to change the labor-management relationship and require the company's behavior to meet labor standards such as sa8000. If the company refuses to change, union pension funds may threaten to sell the company's shares or file shareholder lawsuits.

In addition, UAW also seeks "spokes" of political parties by spending a lot of money, allowing these spokespersons to fight for the interests of the auto union and even canvass the votes for the US president.

But it should be noted that the automobile union is not for the benefit of all employees as many people imagine. On the contrary, it is only considered for union members. In the same job, enterprises are naturally more willing to use non-union members, and UAW adopts strong resistance measures, forcing enterprises not to use non-union members instead of union members, and even take violent measures at critical moments!

Uaw has gradually become a "live cancer" in the US automotive industry. High welfare investment has become a burden for the Big Three. They must unconditionally pay full salary for idle employees. In addition, the automobile union has tried its best to obstruct companies from overseas low-cost procurement. Ford's procurement of auto parts in China has to be carried out secretly. Ford even begged Chinese media not to report related reports.

The struggle between the two sides is really fierce, so when developing companies in the United States, we must pay attention to the thorn in the trade union, and we cannot solve the problem by investing money.

But during this period, Japanese car series such as Toyota, Honda, and Nissan also entered the United States, and they seemed to hate the expansion of the auto union. They also had a good idea to treat UAW!

In the 1970s and 1980s, foreign car companies in Europe and Japan entered the United States to set up factories. Europeans and Japanese people did not buy UAW for UAW. Toyota believed that without a trade union, the company could develop better. Nissan said that they hoped that the company could communicate directly with employees without the intervention of third parties, while Honda refused UAW's various efforts even more fiercely.

They are all foreign companies, and Lin Johnson seems to have found a way to solve the problem of auto unions!

He decided to hire a large number of Chinese employees after taking over the AMC. American automobile companies can provide a large number of jobs for blacks, but will not provide so many jobs for Chinese. Chinese employees are easy to manage and willing to cooperate, and it will definitely be easier for whites and blacks in the United States to accept the company system. In this way, it can resist UAW's expansion into the company. At the same time, a large number of Chinese workers must also do a good job in public opinion building. Otherwise, the first person to jump out and oppose is not the auto union, but the angry blacks!

While the two companies began to negotiate, the American media also began to pay attention to the acquisition case and gave overwhelming reports. The automobile media suddenly became lively, "Saturn Automobile Company acquired the American Automobile Company", "the largest acquisition case of the United States this year", and the Chinese media in the United States followed suit, and articles such as "Famous Chinese leader and rich man Mr. Johnson Lin showed the pride of Chinese in industry to the American automobile industry" filled the American Chinese media, making the long-suppressed Chinese society boil for the first time!

The world's largest auto magazine, "American Cars", has millions of loyal readers and fans. The magazine also published an article about the acquisition and commented that the acquisition was the most interesting incident in the American automobile industry. They also humored it with their usual style. "Lin Johnson, the boss behind Saturn Automobile Company, finally couldn't help but want to make a big contribution in the American automobile market and promote his cosplay models to the American people. I don't know which famous automobile company will be in trouble this time!"

But the magazine also praised Saturn Automobile, a young company, and gave technical analysis of the luxury business models launched by the company. It predicted that this model will definitely form a large category of new automobile markets in the future. It also gave a very welcome attitude towards the alliance between Saturn and Amc. It is optimistic that the boss behind the scenes, Lin Johnson, will definitely make a large investment after acquiring the company, and there are few failures in his investment projects!

At this time, the famous popular American newspaper USA Today, a national comprehensive newspaper with all-inclusive content. It reported a shocking news on the occasion of the opening of the New York Auto Show. Amc's Cherokee model has serious quality defects and is very easy to overturn during rapid turns. Moreover, this defect has been confirmed by testers. The Cherokee design center of gravity is too high and is more likely to overturn than similar models. This news immediately ignited the automobile market. Because tens of thousands of consumers have purchased Cherokee models, they immediately called Amc, and some even asked factories to launch a recall plan. It even cast a shadow on the acquisition negotiations between Saturn Auto and Amc! (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
