4. Andrew
Background:
Andrew was orphaned at the age of 6 when his parents gave him up because they could no longer afford to take care of him. Andrew started as an errand-boy for Mr. Junko when he was 8 years old. One day after spotting a small fire and extinguishing it before it got out of control, Andrew was rewarded by Mr. Junko with the opportunity to purchase shares of Mr. Junko’s company. Using his savings from the last ten years Andrew was able to purchase a small amount of stock in Junko International. This means that he makes money when the company does well.
Work:
Andrew is now 18 and is a floor manager at the Junko Factory, overseeing about 100 women in the textile factory. Andrew’s job duties include keeping a close eye on the workers to make sure they are meeting their daily quota and reporting any shortages to Mr. Junko. As a manager, Andrew must also report to Mr. Junko any worker suspected of attempting to unionize the workers.
Wants:
Unionize?
Andrew is opposed to any labor unions because he fears that if a union emerges the factory will be forced to pay higher wages to its workers. This would result in the company losing money, meaning the value of the stock that Andrew owns would be decreased.
