Chapter 319 Attacking each other on the east and west coasts
Century City, Beverly Business Club.
Hawke met Brian waiting here in the reception room he had been booked for a long time.
Neither of them had eaten, so they simply ordered dinner and sent it directly.
Bryan talked about the situation of the fire department while eating: "Yesterday, the Fire Department Headquarters recruited for the third time this year, and hundreds of people went to the scene."
Hawke drank a sip of iced lemonade and asked, "All women?"
"Yes, all women." Brian said in detail: "Recruitment was about to end last month, but after the first batch, the fire department management has been dragging it down, and the recruitment indicators have not been completed until now."
He added: "Antonio, who promoted this matter, has won strong support from feminism. When the competition is fierce, feminism may impact us."
Hawke was prepared for a long time: "Then let's close the door and let black people go up."
Brien had considered before: "I think so too. Steve has a great influence among black people, and then we can gather a group of black women."
Hawke praised, "You are keeping up with the times and using magic to magic."
The door was knocked from outside, and Brian's driver brought a woman in.
This woman is in her thirties, wearing a professional suit, and a shrewd look on her face.
Bryan introduced Hawke, which was his first recruitment of female firefighters and sent to the fire department's inside line.
Hawke asked directly: "Do a civilian job?"
"Yes." Susan said quickly, "I am in the office to engage in information security work. Unlike those female firefighters, I have to receive training."
Hawke thought for a while and asked again, "How is the internal reaction of the fire department during this recruitment?"
Susan said in detail: "I have been rejected by many people, including me. The relationship between new employees and old employees is tense, because the new employees have harmed the interests of old employees. The normal fire budget was originally very tight every year, so this time I took it out. $8.5 million is specifically used for gender balance, which can only reduce the welfare of old employees and give up many fire-fighting equipment maintenance. "
Bryan responded, "I heard that the fire department has cleared some male employees?" "
Susan said, "In order to make room for new female firefighters, many seasonal temporary firefighters have been fired, but these people are the backbone of firefighters. Most of the fire rescue work on the front line are at the forefront."
Hawke could understand that these people were similar to temporary workers.
The American government outsourcing is at the forefront of the world. For example, wildfires in Los Angeles are all seasonal, so it is naturally inevitable that temporary workers will exist.
He asked the most critical point: "Are the newly recruited female firefighters adapting to this job?"
"Civilian staff is very good and adapting faster." Susan's face changed for a moment, and she quickly calmed down and said, "But with the increase in the number of female civilian staff, the office atmosphere continues to deteriorate, internal friction is very serious, and work efficiency is significantly reduced."
Hawke had known this for a long time. For example, there is a recognized phenomenon in Hollywood. Once the number of women in the main cast and crew members is too large, the set will become a Shura field.
Last time he met Johnson's agent wife, the other party mentioned something. On the set of "Twelve Arhats", Katherine Zeta Jones and Julia Roberts fought to the death, and they were afraid of the twelve male actors and Steven Soderbergh.
These are only two, plus two actresses of similar levels, the crew can disband directly.
Susan continued: "The training of front-line firefighters is very unsatisfactory. The first batch of female firefighters recruited in February should be on duty in early May according to the training rules, and then work and training are combined. But they are still unable to work and enrich the empty jobs."
Brien is not difficult to figure out: "Because the training is not qualified?"
Susan said: "Yes, it is unqualified. Two female firefighters are not as good as a male firefighter. When the high-pressure water gun is opened during training, they can't stand at all. What they privately study is not unity, but blame and attack each other. During rescue training, the two people can't drag a rescued target. Everyone, including themselves, actually knows that it is not suitable, but everyone is promoting this."
It has nothing to do with competence, but a political issue.
Political struggle, or position, is greater than anything else.
Hawk listened and thought, and asked, "Where is the original leadership of the firefighter?"
Susan replied, "Director Morgan has a lot of opinions on this. He wants to suspend this plan. He slowed down the recruitment speed later and negotiated with Antonio."
Brien nodded, "No wonder the recruitment is not over yet."
Susan emphasized: "Antonio is very dissatisfied with Director Morgan's work. The dismissal process has been initiated. The firefighters will change a new director this month. According to the news I have received, the new director will be a woman, a real female social activist."
In the last paragraph, Hawke and Brian looked at each other.
Bryan couldn't help but say, "Okay, very good!"
In order to please women and gain political support, Antonio's actions were crazy.
It would be fine if you dismiss the seasonal firefighters and get a bunch of female firefighters. After all, there are still a group of old firefighters. Now you have to get an outsider who is good at social activities. With the deputy director of feminism transferred earlier, Los Angeles firefighters are almost half of them abolished.
This is an industry with very strong professional procedures. When encountering major situations, the consequences of laymen commanding experts are unimaginable.
Hawk then thought about his next steps based on these situations.
Especially inside the fire station.
After saying everything was said, Brian asked a few more questions, and Susan quickly left here. Brian came back from outside and said, "I think the fire department alone could put Los Angeles in an unprecedented dilemma."
"This is not enough." Hawke either doesn't do it, and he will play big things once if he wants to do it, and he will never make small fuss.
If you miss a good opportunity like this, you may have to wait for another twenty years.
Hawke said: "Although the Elephant Party has lost its position as mayor in Los Angeles for less than four years, California has been blue for ten years. If you want to take the position of mayor, you will face huge pressure. Instead of letting us bear the pressure, let Antonio and the others face the impact of public opinion first."
Brian may not be very smart, but the biggest advantage is that he can tell which suggestions are most beneficial to him.
He understood what Hawke meant: "Press up all the chips?"
Hawke nodded gently: "It is best to defeat the enemy at once and not give them a chance to fight back."
He said directly: "I will have someone modify several cameras that are easy to carry and take pictures, and also recorders. You give them to the people at the fire station to take pictures of the embarrassment of female firefighters during training and work. The internal dissatisfaction with this gender plan, if possible, take pictures and secretly record the conversation between Antonio and the current director Morgan."
Brien understands Hawke's meaning : "Morgan does not agree with Antonio's plan. Antonio is preparing to clean him up. This will arouse strong dissatisfaction from Morgan, but he cannot stop Antonio's will. When he is forced to step down, Morgan will inevitably have a sharp conflict with Antonio."
Hawke continued: "Antonio and the donkey party members who are actively promoting this plan, all relevant remarks, actions and news are collected properly."

Brian said, "I've been doing it all the time."
Hauck asked, "Have you decided on this? Should you launch an election or wait for next year?"
"Bryan's election involves not only himself, but also the Ferguson family. He said, "But what really determines all this is still how big a storm I can cause."
Hauck said, "The tragic experience of the 911 firefighters in New York, and the typical cases of firefighters in the California area can be launched."
He thought of Susan's words just now, and added, "Aren't there many seasonal firefighters firefighters fired by the fire department because they want to make concessions to female firefighters? I guess some of them will have a lot of opinions."
Brian remembered it all.
Hawke reminded: "If the election starts, you must be prepared to be attacked."
Which is comparing between the two sides is worse.
Brian said, "No one is better at this kind of thing than you."
Hawke nodded, "I will think of a solution."
Just as the temperature is gradually rising in June, Fox News launched two special programs, focusing on the firefighters who reported on the 9/11 incident.
The report stands from the position of firefighters and tells the various unfair treatments encountered by firefighters participating in rescue after 9/11.
The New York City government promised no subsidies, no treatment costs after illness, and only a small part of the pension for the casualties.
The firefighters who fought for legitimate rights were forced to disperse several times by the New York authorities, and the leaders also encountered various artificial obstacles in their lives.
Fox's news attracted widespread attention as soon as it came out.
The East and West Coasts have never been dealt with, even if New York is deep blue, the Los Angeles Times still forwarded the Fox News report as soon as possible and added a part of new content, saying that a large number of 911 firefighters are currently suffering from illness and are constantly passing away in despair.
The West Coast seized the opportunity and attacked the East Coast without hesitation.
Twitter joined in, vigorously promoting the bravery and dedication of the firefighters in the 9/11 incident, and the tragic experiences today, forming a sharp contrast.
Google and Yahoo are also focusing on the report.
Other media such as the San Francisco Chronicle and ABC, which use the West Coast as their base camp, have come to beat up the fallen dog in New York.
The two major metropolitan areas in California are notoriously incompatible with New York, just like the gay man and Dixie back then.
Involving regional disputes, the media in New York were unwilling to fall behind. With the efforts of some foreign journalists, they quickly obtained black news from the fire protection industry in Los Angeles.
The following New York Times focused on the case where several Los Angeles firefighters not only owed pensions, but were also fired after being injured.
There are many similar cases in California because there is no difference between the two sides in essence.
The media on the east and west coasts had a quarrel, and the miserable treatment of the firefighters was immediately placed in front of the public.
At the latest White House press conference, a press spokesperson claimed that federal pensions were allocated.
New York said it did not receive it.
Washington started arguing with New York again.
The focus of the several parties is not on the group of firefighters, but on attacking each other.
