Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 906 Turn
The Nippon Steel Workers' Union officially launched the strike. All factory areas were cordoned off with blockade ropes. At the same time, the union set up a picket team, divided into three shifts, to ensure that patrols could be carried out 24 hours a day. No one was allowed to approach the factory.

The union's rich experience in struggle tells them that the success or failure of a strike often does not depend on the opposing company, but on whether there are scabs in their own team who are willing to compromise and start work. Therefore, patrolling and guarding the factory area is extremely important.

The union put up slogans with three major demands:

Production line handover, cash handover, and full payment of wages.

The factory area was covered with banners and slogans. When the administrative staff of Nippon Steel saw this scene, they dared not to speak and could only shrink in their offices without coming out.

Near noon, Secretary Toyama's speech was broadcast in full by the TV station.

The union's strike action has undoubtedly heightened the heat of the Nippon Steel incident.

Many reporters immediately rushed to the various factories of Nippon Steel to take pictures. The strike by the union meant that Nippon Steel had completely stopped production.

You know, although Nippon Steel has entered bankruptcy proceedings, its daily production and operations have not been interrupted. Steel is still shipped in and out every day and delivered to Nippon Steel's customers. Although Nippon Steel's entry into bankruptcy proceedings is a big deal in legal terms, since its actual production and operations are still continuing, it has not had any substantial short-term impact on the market.

However, when the union actually started to shut down Nippon Steel's production lines, the impact was immediate and the price of steel in the market immediately fluctuated.

Recently, the western part of the East Ocean has also experienced an earthquake.

There is a great demand for building materials for post-earthquake reconstruction.

Nippon Steel's production was completely cut off, and the market for real estate building materials immediately began to rise.

What ordinary people felt at this time was only the grand scenes of the strike on the media screens - such as cordon lines, pickets, confrontations between workers and factory administration, shouting from loud speakers, and so on.

However, for building materials companies, they are experiencing real market chaos. A short-term shortage of building materials has already occurred. Downstream construction companies are making calls everywhere to see if they can find materials. The construction of some buildings and single-family houses may be delayed.

In short, the impact is already spreading.

Before the US tariffs were imposed, many overseas buyers also snapped up Nippon Steel's steel. However, now that the union has blocked the factory, all the steel that was supposed to be shipped overseas is now blocked in Nippon Steel's factory and cannot be shipped out.

Shima Miho and the organization behind her were naturally involved in fanning the flames. Because the union had blocked the factory area, the factory administrators were also trapped inside, making it difficult to replenish daily necessities. Naturally, these administrators were also furious with the union.

In the middle of the night, these administrative staff climbed over the wall to buy some food and drinks, but when they came back, they ran into the union picket team. The union naturally surrounded them, threatened them with verbal abuse, and snatched the supplies these administrative staff had bought.

After the picket team dispersed, the organizers planted by Shima Miho instigated these administrative staff. These administrative staff were also young people, and it was not surprising that they were angry when they were blocked by the union members. Soon, under the instigation, these administrative staff found the lone picket team member of the union and beat him up severely.

Once you start, the nature of the matter changes.

When the union heard that members of the picket team were beaten by factory administrative staff, the union's reaction was naturally outrage. A large number of workers surrounded the factory's administrative office. Naturally, the organizers also mixed in with these workers.

This is a very good scene to escalate the situation.

Soon, the organizers who were mixed in the crowd picked up stones and threw them at the factory's administrative office. With a loud "clang", the glass was smashed.

Once the first person starts doing this, more and more people will follow suit.

Destruction is human nature.

Once this primitive desire is aroused, it is very difficult to control.

Soon, it wasn’t just glass.

The door was smashed, the computers in the office were destroyed, and the documents and files were scattered all over the floor. When the door was breached, the administrative staff fled screaming. The scene was in a mess.

The police quickly arrived at the scene and tried desperately to maintain order. However, the anger of the crowd could not be contained. When the police car with flashing red and blue lights stopped at the factory area, preventing them from venting their anger at the administrative office, a large number of workers quickly poured into the street.

The No. 7 Steel Plant where the incident occurred is located in the suburbs of Tokyo. The avenue near the steel plant is the highway leading to Tokyo Bay. Crowds of people flocked to the highway, and soon the entrance to the highway was crowded with people. The entire traffic was instantly paralyzed.

You know, there is more than just one Nippon Steel factory nearby.

There are also many factories of other industries built nearby.

A large number of trucks were blocked at the entrance of the highway and could not move.

The entire traffic was paralyzed.

Once traffic gets congested, it will spread everywhere like a cold.

Soon, the riot at Nippon Steel caused a major traffic jam on the Tokyo Bay Ring Expressway.

The incitement of Shima Miho and others was undoubtedly successful. The relationship between the management and administrative staff of Nippon Steel and the union was extremely tense. Threats of violence were heard everywhere. The entire factory was almost out of order. The administrative staff were afraid of the union. The union was worried that their members would be beaten up in retaliation if they were left alone.

Nippon Steel fell into unprecedented chaos.

The severe traffic jam on the Beijing-Wanhuan Expressway has attracted unprecedented attention from the cabinet.

Minister of General Affairs Terada was under great pressure. You know, he had always been the person in charge of the Nippon Steel project in the past. However, the Nippon Steel incident had now evolved into such a situation. Under the dual pressure of Eriko and the Nippon Steel incident, Minister of General Affairs Terada knew that he had no way out and could only give it a try.

Soon, he called together the famous trading companies and banks. Terada had already made no secret of it and told these financially strong companies and institutions that they must come up with funds to save Nippon Steel. Otherwise, the cabinet will definitely make you suffer. Terada directly issued a naked threat.

At this moment, it is no longer possible to solve the problem with ambiguous and vague words.

It must be a realistic and executable commitment!
Things are going in the direction that Shima Miho and the organization expected...
