Chapter 699: Didn’t See That Coming
The most famous thing about the Federation isn’t its president or navy—it’s the Federation’s labor union.
The labor union is world-renowned. Before this, most news about the Federation in foreign papers usually involved massive domestic strikes. That made the labor union impossible to ignore.
Other countries also have labor unions, but none quite like the Federation’s.
To hear die-hard Federation enthusiasts tell it—those who believe even the Federation’s moon shines brighter than their own sun—the labor union represents the values and interests of the working class, bravely standing against capital.
The labor union is the sword that defends the rights of ordinary people, the lightning that shatters capitalist conspiracies…
Even the folks at union headquarters felt a little embarrassed by all that praise—they weren’t that noble. But hearing others glorify them still felt good.
What couldn’t be denied, though, was that the Federation’s labor union had a ruthlessness others lacked: to push political demands or secure better benefits, they were willing to organize massive nationwide strikes and demonstrations.
In terms of scale, participation, and impact, they were unmatched.
Foreigners laughed when they watched these Federation jokes on TV, pointing at the screen and telling their friends, Look at what happens in developed countries!
