Factory in America is a documentary invested by the last American President Obama, which records the opening of Fuyao Glass Group in the United States. After watching the movie, several scenes were quite impressive.

1, Fuyao opened the factory and cheered.

Fuyao Glass will take over a bankrupt company of General Motors. This company has been bankrupt for several years, and all the workers have been fired and have no food. They are very happy to hear that a China company has opened a factory here, which can provide employment for about 20xx people.

There was a female worker who lived in the basement of her sister's house during her laid-off period. Except for the TV, everything was her own. When Fuyao Glass opened the factory, he entered Fuyao Glass to work, and he could afford to live in an apartment of 480 dollars.

One employee has worked in General Motors for 20 years. After GM went bankrupt, his life was unsustainable, and Fuyao made him live a middle-class life again.

2. The conflict between Chinese and western management cultures.

Fuyao is going to build a factory, and American trade unions will enter. Cao Wangde, president of Fuyao, made it clear that if the trade unions came in, they would immediately close the factory. The tone is so hard that the union is afraid to enter rashly.

At first, the workers were very happy. Later, after the honeymoon, they began to be dissatisfied with Fuyao and began to support the entry of trade unions.

Is the joining of trade unions good or bad for enterprises?

It is not good to use the words of every staff member in the film. A female employee said: the entry of trade unions will only benefit those who muddle along, but those who work hard and do well will not benefit, just like them.

After the trade union came in, Fuyao could not directly hire workers or talk to them directly. He can only recruit workers through trade unions, pay their wages according to American standards, and give the trade unions a certain fee.

It's hard not to think that American trade unions are actually bureaucratic and take money to do things. It seems to be fighting for the benefits that workers deserve, but in fact it will harm the interests of all parties.

Because once an enterprise can't directly manage and recruit workers, it can't have a direct dialogue with workers and can't stimulate their enthusiasm for work. Workers just muddle along, without sense of responsibility and self-motivation. In this case, it is difficult for enterprises to make profits, and enterprises cannot make profits. If they shut down like GM again, it will be very bad for enterprises and blue-collar workers, and both will lose. Only they will benefit as trade union intermediaries.

3. Trends matter.

At the end of the article, there is a feeling that mechanical arms should be used instead of workers in many places because it is too inefficient. That is to say, in many cases, trade unions and enterprises are struggling with each other, but they cannot compete with the development trend of scientific and technological productivity.

There is a sentence at the end of the film: in the past ten years, there has been too little investment in vocational training.
