Chapter 688: 237, what a talent!

Unions!

Strikes!

That’s the retirement gift Mashang Evans had prepared for Donnie.

Back when Mashang Evans was president of ABC, various unions in New York had approached ABC, wanting to establish their own union within the company.

However, as the president of ABC, Mashang Evans naturally did not want to see a union come into existence.

...

Therefore, Mashang Evans had always refused the idea.

Now that Mashang Evans was no longer the president of ABC, his change in status had naturally made him no longer opposed to the idea.

“Once these people form a union, they will surely demand higher wages, benefits, and various other treatments from the company in the form of strikes.

Then, the company’s operating costs will surely increase, and in the end, we might be led by the nose by these union members!”

Mark Pereira looked worriedly at Donnie.

These tactics were originally used by Donnie against major Hollywood studios, and now Mashang Evans was directly applying them against Donnie, which made Donnie feel both amused and frustrated.

“So, has Cask Pasiman and Warwick Taylor also agreed to his suggestion?”

Donnie knew that forming a union was not an easy task, and simply relying on Mashang Evans, who had stepped down as president of ABC, would not be possible.

After all, although various unions were prevalent in the United States, it wasn’t until the implementation of “Waglafa” in the United States that these unions began to grow and transition from individual company unions to industry-wide unions.

The three major unions that Donnie had established in Hollywood were actually ahead of their time for people of that era, which is why they caused such great losses to the major studios.

Now the union that Mashang Evans was creating was actually just an internal union within ABC, aiming to integrate employees from various levels of the company and establish an ABC union.

In this way, even if Mashang Evans was no longer the president, he would still have the power to influence the operations of ABC!

But to do this, Mashang Evans needed more people around him.

He couldn’t do it alone.

If he could have, Donnie would not have chosen to replace him in the first place!

“It should be like this.

Both of them, like me, said they needed to think about it first, but I saw from their attitude that they have already agreed, they just need to go back and discuss it with their own people!”

Mark Pereira answered.

“It seems that ABC really needs to undergo reforms now!”

Before this, Donnie had still been pondering whether or not to also replace Cask Pasiman and Warwick Taylor.

After all, replacing Mashang Evans had already caused quite a bit of trouble, and if two other influential company executives were removed, it would only cause greater upheaval.

But now that they were using his money to do things against him, it was clear that Donnie couldn’t keep them any longer.

“Boss, these two have considerable credibility in their respective departments, which are also important departments of the company, especially the news department.

If they join forces, the impact on the company would be massive.

Do you want me to contact them individually?”

Mark Pereira suggested his plan.

In his view, ABC’s current situation was already serious enough, and they couldn’t let things continue to develop further, especially not the formation of a union.

Once a union was established, it would be like an organization within the company working against the company, which would be very troubling.

Donnie waved his hand: “No need, their internal organization isn’t necessarily unified!”

Mark Pereira looked at Donnie with confusion, unable to grasp the meaning behind his words.

However, Donnie already had a plan for this situation and thus asked Mark Pereira to leave, intending to handle the matter himself.

Mashang Evans wanted to establish a union because he was not resigned in his heart and wanted to use this move to coerce Donnie, hoping to be reinstated as president of ABC.

Cask Pasiman and Warwick Taylor saw a threat to their own positions in ABC from the incident of Mashang Evans being fired, so they wanted to use the establishment of a union as a way to show Donnie their strength within the company and thereby threaten him to secure their positions in the company.

In reality, none of the three sincerely wanted to establish a union; they only wanted to use it as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Donnie!

It was only the workers at the bottom who naively thought these people were organizing a union for their welfare.

So, Donnie believed that since they wanted to negotiate, they had to sit at the same table, only then could real negotiation take place!

Just as Donnie had predicted, ten minutes after Mark Pereira left, Donnie received a call from Cask Pasiman, who expressed a desire to meet with Donnie and report something important!

Donnie gave his room number to the caller.

Before long, Cask Pasiman came to Donnie’s office.

“Boss, I just got the news; Mashang Evans, Mark Pereira, and Warwick Taylor have already gathered quite a few people within the company, planning to establish a union to coerce you into keeping Mashang Evans on!”
