Robert Irons has organized a walk out of workers at the Chariot du Ciel Luciole Factory in the Gearworks district of Rivetville. The steel workers’ strike halted the production lines on the frames and motors for luxury personal airships that are very popular in some upper class circles.
Factory owners were quick to start organizing themselves to try and set up negotiations with Irons. As deadlines fast approach for upcoming orders, the risk of losing money, clientele, and the city’s trust in their products is high.
Albert Felts, a foreman at the factory, offered his opinion on the matter. “This is all a bunch of entitled crap. If these workers want to laze about and expect to get even more pay for not doing a jot, we can easily replace them. That’s my two cents.”
Irons was outside the factory itself this morning, “These men and women have been working double shifts at a breakneck pace every single day to try and fill impossible quotas. They have now walked away from those hellish production lines and will not return until their demands of better pay, hours, and safety conditions are met. I’m sure the bosses of Chariot du Ciel intend to replace these skilled and dedicated workers. This would be a mistake. If this company intends to plug this wound with scabs, they will soon find themselves bled dry.”
