On the contrary. 211 00:14:24,086 --> 00:14:26,806 Experiences in America and Italy have shown 212 00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,766 that workers who are allowed to work at their own pace actually produce more. 213 00:14:31,926 --> 00:14:34,006 More. Do you understand? 214 00:14:35,446 --> 00:14:37,166 There's one more thing. 215 00:14:37,326 --> 00:14:41,606 If we produce faster than production planning estimates, 216 00:14:42,766 --> 00:14:45,446 then we want a cut of the surplus profit. 217 00:14:46,086 --> 00:14:49,326 You're all nuts! You'll never manage that. Never! 218 00:14:49,486 --> 00:14:52,206 Why ever not? It sounds quite sensible. 219 00:14:52,446 --> 00:14:56,486 Grandma, please!

Because it's necessary! 230 00:15:31,846 --> 00:15:36,286 That's your mistake, thinking everything that exists is necessary. 231 00:15:36,446 --> 00:15:38,686 That's not true.

Who votes to keep the money in our group? 932 01:11:13,926 --> 01:11:15,926 Who votes against that? 933 01:11:16,486 --> 01:11:18,846 - Very good' And you? - Me? 934 01:11:19,006 --> 01:11:21,326 I abstain. I really have no idea. 935 01:11:21,486 --> 01:11:26,126 - But we already have at least... - What's the point? You won the vote. 936 01:11:26,286 --> 01:11:29,006 - Keep going, it's more useful. - Okay. 937 01:11:29,166 --> 01:11:32,926 How is the money being divvied out? According to what scale? 938 01:11:34,846 --> 01:11:37,166 - What do you mean? - It's simple. 939 01:11:37,326 --> 01:11:41,046 Let's say you're in Wage Bracket 7 and Rolf is in Bracket 5. 940 01:11:41,206 --> 01:11:43,566 Do you get more than Rolf or what? 941 01:11:43,726 --> 01:11:46,926 - Why should I? - The scale isn't without reason. 942 01:11:47,086 --> 01:11:51,806 Of course it's not without reason. But it is pretty random. 943 01:11:52,326 --> 01:11:57,886 Oh! So migrant worker Giuseppe Macaroni gets the same as Foreman Franz Miltenberger? 944 01:11:58,046 --> 01:12:01,526 - Yes, that's just what it means. - That's nonsense! 945 01:12:01,766 --> 01:12:03,406 He worked, didn't he? 946 01:12:03,646 --> 01:12:07,246 - Sure, but he gets paid for that. - And you do too. 947 01:12:07,446 --> 01:12:10,606 But I get paid more. It's complete idiocy. 948 01:12:11,006 --> 01:12:15,126 - My work is obviously worth more than... - No! It isn't. 949 01:12:15,686 --> 01:12:19,926 If Giuseppe hadn't done his work, then you'd have to help do it. 950 01:12:20,086 --> 01:12:23,406 And if you didn't do that, someone did it for you. 951 01:12:23,566 --> 01:12:25,446 Why me? The company. 952 01:12:25,686 --> 01:12:28,886 No, you. Because we split up the work ourselves. 953 01:12:29,486 --> 01:12:34,646 Then we should've said at the start that we, our group, would do without Giuseppe. 954 01:12:34,806 --> 01:12:39,046 We didn't do that, so he earned his share, an equal share. 955 01:12:39,286 --> 01:12:42,206 But he only did the work he'd have done anyway. 956 01:12:42,446 --> 01:12:44,446 But he did it in our division. 957 01:12:46,686 --> 01:12:50,686 And what goes on in our division, how we go about our work, 958 01:12:50,846 --> 01:12:53,286 we decided that ourselves this time. 959 01:12:54,606 --> 01:12:59,326 - We want to do that. We're still doing it. - I don't get it, honestly. 960 01:12:59,486 --> 01:13:03,086 I mean, sure he did his work, but we all did that. 961 01:13:03,726 --> 01:13:07,806 Everyone should get a share, but in proportion to their bracket. 962 01:13:08,086 --> 01:13:12,166 - That's immoral. - It's not in any way a matter of morals. 963 01:13:12,326 --> 01:13:14,606 It's something totally different. 964 01:13:14,766 --> 01:13:16,486 It's like this. 965 01:13:16,646 --> 01:13:19,686 Wage bracket classification is one thing. 966 01:13:19,846 --> 01:13:23,966 We have no control over that because management determines it. 967 01:13:24,126 --> 01:13:27,006 And, anyway, the wage level in general 968 01:13:27,166 --> 01:13:31,646 is based on the situation on the job market, what the unions negotiate 969 01:13:31,806 --> 01:13:33,566 and who knows what else. 970 01:13:33,726 --> 01:13:39,086 But the last ten weeks were different, because we were in control of everything. 971 01:13:40,006 --> 01:13:44,046 We all put in the same effort, so we should all get the same money. 972 01:13:44,926 --> 01:13:47,046 I put in only modest effort. 973 01:13:47,846 --> 01:13:53,286 Honestly, I'm tired and want to go home. Who's for everyone getting an equal share? 974 01:13:55,246 --> 01:13:57,686 Okay, that's the majority. 975 01:13:59,366 --> 01:14:02,686 - You were against it just now. Are you nuts? - Uh-huh. 976 01:14:03,766 --> 01:14:06,446 - I understood. - You're so intelligent. 977 01:14:06,686 --> 01:14:10,526 Calculate how much each of us would get if it stays as agreed. 978 01:14:12,526 --> 01:14:14,566 Well, I still don't understand. 979 01:14:15,486 --> 01:14:20,166 Some are slower, some are faster.
