Chapter 42: , Bulgarian Labor Protection Law

　　 Not long ago, the Bulgarian capitalist, Bill Kiyev, went directly to Romania to "relocate the factory". Unfortunately, it was too busy and was detained.
　　 Bill-Kiev, the son of Bulgarian capitalist Evroki Georgiev (one of the founders of Sofia University), is smart and bold.
　　 In the tide of digging, Bill Kiyev did not put up his sign like other people. He felt that it was too inefficient.
　　 Entering Romania-Alexandria, Bill Kiyev focused on the Weiber Paper Mill, spent money to buy the local snakes, and found two local brothers, Nicholas, who worked in the factory.
　　 "Big Brother, is what Mr. Bill Kiyev said is true?" Little Nicholas asked worriedly
　　 "How do I know, but these eight hundred lei will never be fake, right?" Nicholas said casually
　　 "Well! Our family is now like this anyway. If we don't have money to pay the debt, we will be beaten to death by them!" Little Nicholas said helplessly
　　 "No, at most it will turn us into their slaves, and kill us, who will pay them back in the future!" The Nicholas said comfortingly
　　 Since three years ago, their father, the old Nichols, became ill, and their family's life became difficult, and they were forced to borrow loan sharks from others, but the old Nichols still hadn't survived.
　　 Then the Nicusted family began to pay off their debts. From the initial thirty lei to the current five hundred lei, their brother paid one hundred lei during the period.
　　 "Forget it, as long as Mr. Bill is willing to give the money, we will do it, anyway, that vampire Dracula is not a good thing!" Little Nicholas said fiercely
　　 "Yes, my brother. Dracula's vampire can't wait to take every lei on us. It might be a good way to go to Bulgaria to make a living." The Grand Nicholas said expectantly.
　　The unified-minded Nicusted brothers began to lobby for Bill. Everyone didn't believe it very much. Everyone still met with Bill in the past.
　　 Bill played his three-inch tongue, and soon fudged a group of workers, and then paid a month’s salary in advance as a deposit.
　　 As a qualified capitalist, Dracula is also a greedy vampire. Naturally, the workers were hollowed out by Bill Kiyev, and then they ran away with everyone secretly.
　　 If it’s just that, it’s all right. As long as you run fast, when he is discovered he has already ran back to Bulgaria, no one can do anything about him.
　　 But Bill-Kiev, who has tasted the sweetness, how can he stop with one vote? He carried forward the nature of a capitalist and directly took up the work of human intermediary, flicking workers from Romania and drawing commissions from them.
　　Facts have proved that the capitalists of the 19th century were not easy to mess with. Bill, who was able to get a few votes, was targeted. Unfortunately, he was exposed in the Karakal area and was detained by local capitalists.
　　 With his three-inch tongue, Bill successfully saved his life, and now the other party is demanding a ransom from Evrocky Georgiev.
　　Evrocky Georgiev was worried about Bill’s safety, so he approached the Minister of Foreign Affairs Metiev. No way, who told Meteve to marry Evrocky Georgiev’s daughter and had to come forward to rescue this~~.
　　 A ransom of one million lei, Evrocky Georgiev obviously didn't plan to come up with it, even if he thought it out, he couldn't get it all in a short time!
　　Medev had a headache. Using his personal relationship to find each other, the negotiation between the two parties went smoothly. Bill's safety can be guaranteed, and there is no need to worry about the treatment, as long as the ransom is paid, anyway, the money is a big man.
　　 In the end, Metzhev managed to get Bill out, owed a lot of favors and lost a lot of money.
　　 This is the end of the poaching incident. Since then, capitalists of various countries have increased their vigilance, and Bulgaria can no longer be unscrupulously poaching corners.
　　The easy days of Ferdinand are also over. The influx of a large number of people brings not only benefits to Bulgaria, but also a lot of troubles.
The crime rate has risen sharply, and the conflict between locals and foreigners has intensified. Capitalists have begun to behave again, with unscrupulous wage deductions, and labor disputes have emerged one after another. In order to save expenses, some capitalists use a large number of foreign laborers and lay off domestic workers. Wait.
　　In order to mediate disputes, various government departments are dispatched one after another, and they are exhausted. This is also due to Ferdinand’s industry, which has occupied a dominant position in Bulgaria, and has been keeping his duty so that no major disturbances have occurred.
　　 Looking at the problems in the newspapers from various places, Ferdinand knew that it was time to introduce a labor protection law, otherwise, if it drags on, there will be a working class revolution someday.
　　 On September 18, 1890, Bulgaria’s first law to deal with labor disputes was the Bulgarian Labor Law.
　　 This law was formulated by Ferdinand with reference to the labor law of later generations and the British factory law. To a certain extent, it is biased towards the working class, and the severe punishment for labor disputes is breathtaking.
　　 is considered by later generations to be the first real labor protection law. The article clearly stipulates the working hours of heavy physical labor, UU reading www. uukanshu.com must not exceed ten working hours, overtime must be paid, and one day of paid vacation per week.
　　 also set a minimum monthly wage, which must not be less than 7.5 lev (approximately equal to 3 pounds), which is split into hourly wages, which is equivalent to the current average wage in Bulgaria.
　　 In the treatment of labor disputes, if the capitalist maliciously defaults on wages and arbitrarily deducts wages, the highest penalty will be the direct confiscation of the factory, and there will be high fines.
　　 In the same way, if workers maliciously make trouble, frame up, racket, and blackmail, they will face life imprisonment once investigated and punished.
　　 All illegal acts will be severely punished. However, the law does not protect all groups of people. Many provisions are only for Bulgarian citizens.
　　 For example, if you cannot lay off employees at will, it will only target Bulgarian citizens. There is also the minimum wage level, which is the privilege of the citizens of the country.
　　For migrant workers, if they speak Bulgarian, the minimum wage guarantee is only 80% of their citizens; if not, there is only 50% minimum wage protection.
　　 Including the most rest days, working hours, and the treatment of domestic citizens and foreigners is different. And in each factory, the number of local citizens must not be less than 60%.
　　 It’s not clear that the capitalists squeeze foreigners unscrupulously, so be merciful to their subordinates!
　　 As soon as the Bulgarian Labor Protection Law was promulgated, public opinion was in an uproar. The mainstream is naturally praised, thinking that it is a big step for Bulgaria's democracy.
　　 There are also some scholars who sarcastically claimed to have destroyed the capitalist free market. Apart from the support of a few capitalists, no one responded.
　　 There are still a small number of Notre Dame denominations who think that the government is not doing enough and do not treat them equally. Unfortunately, the voice is too weak to even publish in newspapers.
