Today, in the balmy sunshine of Veramor’s summer, first senator Ulrich Klein opened the latest of VERCorps’s new large scale industrial complexes with a brief and charismatic declaration that put a face to the governments stand on national development
‘The opening of this facility, the latest product of our booming economy is not only a testament to the hardworking attitude of this country's people but also a symbol of Veramor’s continued goal of becoming a influential and productive member of the global economic community.’
The facility in question is the newest of VERCorp’s new mass production facilities that, due to an already world renowned R+D department, are easily reconfigurable to produce many of the products we see in everyday Veramorian use as well as a large number of key exports. Although this technology and the speed of VERCorp’s expansion undeniably represents a huge step forward in terms of Veramor’s economic security, the corporation has been accused of unsafe and unethical working practices on a number of occasions by small, employee-run pressure groups. They claim that wages are poor and working conditions are at times entirely unsafe in some of the nation’s largest factories and industrial sites.
VNN’s chief economic analyst, Graham Bell, commented that,
‘Although the allegations against VERCorp are not entirely grounded in the realms of rumour and hearsay, and far be it from anyone to try and brush these claims under the carpet but they are simply not substantial enough, in my opinion, to warrant action against one of the key economic players in our developing economy.’
Is this the beginning of a Veramor run by all powerful corporate conglomerates that are beyond the reach of the law or merely a bump on the road to a prosperous and globally recognised Veramorian economy? However you choose to look at the situation, no one can argue that, as mentioned by the ever popular senator Klein, VERCorp’s continual growth in the export market is beneficial not only to the corporate fat cat’s but those on the shop floor and, in time, the rest of Veramor.
