Blackstone Code - Chapter 1791

Remember [] for a second, update fast, no pop-ups!

There is light rain in the sky, and it is not as chilly as winter when it falls on people, but it is cold, and it is still a little cold.

It’s just that this cold doesn’t make people feel like it’s winter anymore.

On the street, two workers without umbrellas wore peaked caps, lowered their heads, and walked quickly on the road.

An old man, a middle-aged man.

They are father and son, both of whom work in factories. They watched the news last night, and today they went to the nearby trade union club to find out about the situation.

For these working classes, social security, pensions, medical care, etc., have a greater impact on them than war!

They don’t care who wins and who loses the war, just like ten years ago they didn’t care if the Great Depression would destroy the country and destroy the world.

They are just little people who can only care about their own destiny and nothing else.

Some people say that you have to be broad-minded and look at the world. You can’t even fill your stomach. Who the **** cares if the world will be destroyed tomorrow?

The accumulated rain fell on their faces, maybe the purpose of wearing hats was to keep their hair from getting so wet.

The pace of the two was fast, shuttling among the pedestrians, and they tried not to touch other people.

But it is unavoidable and sometimes encountered, which makes people occasionally say a few swear words on the road.

The quality of the federal people has never been high. Rape, robbery, murder, and burglary are common things here, let alone cursing people on the roadside.

After crossing the long street to the end, the signs and neon lights of the workers’ club made the father and son stop.

They stood outside the door, took off their hats, and shook them, then slapped their clothes, so that the water column on their bodies gathered together and flowed down quickly, then wiped their faces and entered the club.

This is very common among these people. They don’t use umbrellas very often, because umbrellas are not cheap things, and umbrella ribs and umbrellas are relatively advanced technologies for the current industry.

Most people tend to have only one umbrella, and some families never even use an umbrella!

On the street, those who hold umbrellas are all wealthy people.

As soon as the two entered the hall, they saw stains all over the floor, all sewage and footprints.

A lot of people have come here, including father and son workers, all of whom have come to inquire about security benefits and pensions.

The workers from the labor union are very serious and responsible, and they have been explaining. The time for the two of them was just right. Just after a group left, the person in charge of explaining began to explain.

“…Now we have split social security dissatisfaction into ‘state responsibility’ and ‘corporate responsibility’, of which ‘state responsibility’ bears…”

The man was talking loudly, his voice was a little hoarse, and he didn’t even need to read the manuscript to be able to say these words.

Did he have a special talent?

No, I just talked a lot, and gradually I don’t need the manuscript anymore, and I’ve memorized it all.

The father and son stood at the outermost periphery, the father took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, new products every moment, sinking products, glorious.

Glory is the name of the product, the full name is “Glorious Workers”, the front is a worker with tools working beside the machine, and the back is “Glory always belongs to the glorious working people”.

It has a lot of energy. Although the quality of the tobacco is not very good, what people want is that it is strong, resistant to smoking, and sells well.

After all, when big brands are sinking into the market, it is like a bunch of luxury goods to harvest the middle class. The more people recognize the value of the brand, the sharper the sickle will be!

The room smelled of smoke. No wonder the windows and doors were open. The father handed a cigarette to the son. The father and son listened to the man’s explanation while smoking.

After talking for more than 20 minutes, the man finally closed his mouth. At this time, the surrounding workers began to speak.

Someone asked, “Can we pay all the fees at once?”

This is of great concern to many older workers, because the physical industry suffered a devastating blow during the Great Depression a few years ago, and more than half of the factories went bankrupt.

A large number of people lost their jobs, so that many people did not pay social security funds for three to five years, which also made them victims of the old social system!

Now, the opportunity has come, and some people who are still a year or two away can’t help but ask this crucial question.

The workers’ union official in charge of answering the question nodded, “Of course, of course!”

“Under the work of our workers’ union, we and the Socialist Party have put forward a lot of suggestions and opinions in this case. This year, as the first year of the reform of the social security system, you can pay off the unpaid part of the government’s responsibility at one time. ”

“But it’s only limited to the unpaid part, like brothers in their twenties and thirties, they can only pay according to the time you worked in the first year to your present, and you can only pay in full, not more, only the lowest two grades! ”

The old man interjected, “The social security payment I paid before is less than the age, and they refunded the money to me. Can I still make up the payment now?”

He increased his tone, “Clear it all at once!”

There is some expectation, longing, and a hint of fear in the voice!

He was very unlucky. The year before last, he reached retirement age, fifty-five. The Great Depression ten years ago was a terrible nightmare for everyone.

As a matter of course, he did not pay for 30 years. According to the rules of the social security system at that time, he did not meet the conditions for lifetime enjoyment.

All the money he paid was returned to him, he had no pension, no medical insurance, no social security, and he could only continue to work.

And after retirement, the security fund he paid for continuing to work can only protect him from this payment to the next payment cycle, that is, one month, and only medical insurance.

As soon as he stops, he becomes insecure again, which is why he continues to work at fifty-seven.

He didn’t dare to relax, his income was only part of it, and the key was medical insurance.

He couldn’t buy those cheap pills without Medicare, he had to buy non-Medicare medicines at prices that made him want to die.

It would be a relief for him if he could pay it all in one go now.

The crowd around was quiet, and the staff nodded and said yes.

“But there are some differences between a one-time supplementary payment and an annual payment…”

People are looking at him, this is also an important message, and never underestimate the wisdom of the bottom people in scouring wool.

This makes many people realize that the old mother in their own family seems to be able to enjoy such benefits, which is a good thing!

Women do not work, or there are very few women working, which is a federal tradition, and women should take care of the family at home.

Working and earning money is a man’s business!

In fact, the federal social ideology also fell behind. In the past, they felt that it was obviously a bad thing for a family to need a woman to work.

Women were only allowed to work if men were incompetent, and there were indeed not many places that could provide women with jobs at that time.

It’s been like this until now, and it’s become a tradition.

But this does not mean that there are no women working for a long time. According to their current thinking, if the payment can be made at one time, does it mean that the older women in the family have not worked for a day, but as long as they pay the money, they can enjoy these benefits ?

Especially pensions.

“First, for those who have not paid the full amount and have passed the retirement age, but still retain the social security number, if they want to pay in full, they must have a proof of work experience.”

“You can find people in the community, or factories where you work, or companies to issue them.”

“Second, the one-time payment will be paid at one time at 9% of the current minimum salary of 418 yuan and 65 cents in our region!”

“The total price is 11,303 yuan and fifty-five cents.”

“As long as these two conditions are met, you can make a one-time supplement…”

People began to ask questions again, and the father and son looked at each other and retreated from the crowd.

The old man was a little hesitant, the years showed the appearance of time on his face, and the deep wrinkles made it impossible to believe how handsome he was when he was young.

“Or… forget it?”, he took a puff of cigarette, his tone was not so sure.

He seemed to be persuading himself, and at the same time persuading the child.

11,000 yuan, the money they can’t take out now.

None of their families enlisted in the army, and other conditions did not meet the criteria for tax relief. Although everyone was working, their income was actually not high.

11,000 yuan, if they can empty their property in one fell swoop, maybe they have to sell a little something.

The middle-aged man was also smoking a gulp. He lowered his head and frowned.

After a while, he took the cigarette **** out of his mouth and threw it heavily on the ground.

As soon as the sparks of the cigarette butts popped out, they were extinguished by the stains on the ground.

“Pay, must pay!”

He looked up at his father, and the memory of the back crest that held up the whole family and the sky of his childhood had become stubborn.

The momentum that used to be one-of-a-kind has also become cautious.

He took a deep breath. “It’s almost enough to sell her necklace.”

His wife has a gemstone necklace, the gemstone is small, the size of a peanut kernel, a gold necklace.

They had asked before, and at that time the jewelry store was willing to pay 850 yuan to buy it, mainly for the ruby.

Now the price of gold has been rising, and it has risen a lot with the outbreak of the war, but it still has not exceeded 100.

The gold price of the necklace is only about 100 yuan, and the rest is the price of precious stones.

“There are still some unused things at home, which can be taken out and sold. It should be almost the same.”

“No more…”

The middle-aged man clenched his fists, “We can take a loan, but we can’t borrow much money. Other things can be delayed, but this one can’t be delayed.”

“If you miss this time, no one knows when it will be like this next time. You’ve been busy all your life, it’s time to rest!”
