little sleep-deprived, especially at this hour, after we turned the clocks forward for daylight saving time. turns out the whole idea of switching the clocks twice a year is controversial. you see, on friday a bipartisan group of a dozen senators made yet another effort to make daylight saving permanent. scott macfarlane explains the ongoing battle to, as one senator puts it, lock the clock. >> reporter: in the rockies at a 206-acre federal government campus outside denver, they spent a lot of time studying the time. inside the lab at the national institute of standards and technology, scientist andrew novick and the federal government's time and frequency division are measuring the movement of atoms to best calculate exactly what time it is. >> we deal in nanoseconds here. those are billionths of seconds. >> reporter: who would care about that? >> something like your goen, gps. gps works by having atomic

clocks on board satellites sending signals to you and i and everywhere. and that's how you get your location. >> reporter: because no matter how large or how sharp they appear, clocks aren't perfect. eventually they slip, over time, with consequences. >> yeah, imagine something like the stock market, right? you have hundreds of millions of transactions happening in a second. so you have to time tag those. who bought it first? >> reporter: there's so much slippage and imperfections in our measure of time, every few years the global community has to add a leap second to catch up. >> you add a second to one day to keep everything aligned. it's mind-boggling, pretty wild. >> reporter: government is frequently grappling with time. it was the government that created the time zones about 100 years ago to help trains and transit systems keep uniform time and prevent mishaps on the tracks. train and bus systems nationwide, including this one in montgomery county, maryland, are launching new studies to

better track delays and the accuracy of their time monitoring programs to ensure more precise arrivals. here in congress, they're even debating changing the time. a new proposal would make daylight saving time permanent and end the twice a year clock change. >> we'd like that extra hour. we're a rural state. farmers love daylight savings and a lot of other things too. >> reporter: a similar proposal nearly passed into law in 2022, so alabama's tommy tuberville is trying again, though there's been opposition from those worried about the impact of especially late-morning early darkness. you get a lot of calls about this? >> oh, yeah, it's the number one issue. we're going to leave it daylight saving time. >> reporter: in the federal lab in the mountains, they're still testing and measuring ways to better count those nanoseconds, trying to perfect all the time in the world. scott mcfarland, boulder, colorado.

contract talks with film and tv producers broke down in a clash over things like compensation for streaming shows and the use of artificial intelligence. >> striking is one of the most powerful tools we have as union members! >> reporter: the studios facing strong economic headwinds and shrinking movie attendance made some concessions early on. but for writers and actors, it was not nearly enough. >> workers unite! >> reporter: for the actors, union president fran drescher led the charge. >> we are being systematically squeezed out of our livelihoods. to studios who say it's unrealistic what you're asking, it's not unrealistic, it's realistic. what the hell are we doing? moving furniture around on the "titanic." we're all going down unless we rescue ourselves right here and now from people that really are doing bad things to good people. >> reporter: she said the same things to the studio heads face-to-face.

some of the new deal was hammered out here at the screen actors guild headquarters in los angeles. so this is the room where it happened? >> it is indeed. let's see. this is my chair. i sat right here day after day. and the four ceos across from us and their lawyers. this is really where we duked it out. >> reporter: in the glass-walled conference room, the two sides were physically close but often miles apart. and at first, neither side was in much of a mood to compromise. >> i mean, here are the most powerful people in hollywood saying to me, "best, last, final." >> reporter: and you said? >> and i said, "i understand what those three words mean, but i'm telling you, if we don't get this and that, it's a deal breaker." this is, of course, a gigantic contract -- >> reporter: drescher says the tone in the room was mostly civil but the negotiations were overall a brutal experience. >> you know, sometimes i would

get so nauseous. one of my -- >> reporter: you'd get nauseous? >> oh, yes, when i walked out i would be like, oh my god, i need to sit down, i need something cold to drink, i need to go to the ladies' room, i need everything all at once and right away. because it just -- it takes a lot out of you. >> reporter: do you think people underestimated you? >> yes, absolutely. not the people that know me very well. they know me, and they didn't expect anything less. >> reporter: the studio bosses? >> they didn't see me coming. no, not them. >> reporter: and after nearly four months, there was agreement on a new deal that gave union members a lot of what they were asking for. as sag-aftra's duncan crabtree ireland spelled out. >> the total pack an achieves over $1 billion in new wages and benefit plan funding over the term of the contract --

>> reporter: in essence, among other things, a brand-new residual for streaming programs and a say in how their ai-generated images will be used. the new contract was, frankly, better than some expected. >> i mean, george clooney said, "i would have bet my house and lost that you couldn't have gotten this deal." >> reporter: to be sure, the contract negotiations were a trial by fire. but fran drescher is no stranger to being tested. for instance, "the nanny," the '90s show that drescher helped create and made her a household name, almost didn't happen. >> how about a little tennis? >> reporter: the main sponsor felt that drescher's character, fran fein, would be more relatable to middle america if she was not jewish but italian. >> good in the bedroom! >> reporter: drescher, a jewish new yorker from queens, held her ground. >> i actually said, "fran fein has to be jewish."

because i knew that that was the world that i was most comfortable writing for. and the most -- the easiest for me to play because it was so second nature to me. >> from here on in, i'm going to give him everything that he was deprived of as a child. love, warmth, comfort. but first i'm going to make up for him being bottle fed. >> reporter: the sponsor relented. fran fein was jewish, and "the nanny" was a hit. you stuck to your guns and went with what was authentic to you? >> yes, exactly. because if i didn't and the show failed, the feeling of regret, that i didn't follow my own instincts, would have tormented me for -- probably still. >> reporter: and she'd been through even worse. in 1985, she was raped during a home invasion and forced herself to memorize her attacker's face so she could identify him to a police sketch artist. >> we captured him.

just by me describing to him what was still in my head. >> my name is fran drescher. i'm a cancer survivor. >> reporter: and after she was diagnosed with uterine cancer in 2000, she founded a women's health movement. cancer schmancer. the way she sees it, the bad times helped toughen her up for the challenge of leading a union through a very public and often very nasty strike. do you think you were made for this moment? >> without question. this was a defining moment in the amalgam of my life experience. everything. good, bad, the worst of it, the best of it. my ego as a star. all of it, everything, went into this one moment of truth. thank god it paid off. >> reporter: but it might not be over. the hollywood strike of '23 is

said to have emboldened other unions to take action themselves. when i asked her if her own union might strike again, she wasn't making any guarantees. do you think there could be more strikes in hollywood? >> you know -- here's the thing. let's make a deal. and we won't have to strike. we don't want to strike, we never want to strike. but it took them longer than it should have to realize that we meant business. and that there was, you know, a new girl in town. >> everybody else says things but actions speak louder than words! >> now they know. maybe they'll think differently, "let's not go through that again, let's sit down and come to a meeting of the minds." there's ways to spend less money, folks. but don't look in my direction. >> reporter: what about your career on camera and

producing -- >> what? i'm never going to work again. ha ha ha! there's a blacklist with one name on it. >> reporter: but these days, she's basking in the glow of having helped the industry through a tough time and of doing it her way. >> and i don't care if i'm re-elected. >> reporter: you don't? >> no. i make my case. it may not be popular, and i'll respect that, you know, democracy is messy. i'm not a dictator. but i will stand on my ground. >> that was tracy

there's a move on capitol hill right now to make serving in congress a little bit easier for young mothers. scott macfarlane reports. >> reporter: in her first term, florida republican anna paulina luna is learning the capitol complex's maze of corridors. so is her newborn son, who's

getting quite a good look from his stroller at marble ceilings. they're seeking change in a building which clings to history. >> i think that this is going to open the discussion. >> reporter: offering new legislation requiring the house allow its members who give birth the right to vote by proxy from home for the first six weeks. >> i think that when the constitution was written, i don't know if they anticipated women would be in office. >> it's very obvious that this institution was designed by and for old white men. >> reporter: luna suffered complications before and after her delivery in august, had to shuttle back and forth to washington for key votes amid a government shutdown crisis. jacobs put motherhood on hold, worried how she'd make it work between d.c. and her home in san diego. >> i decided to freeze my eggs. and that required months of hormone pills, of shots, of a procedure under anesthesia. >> reporter: in congress, change comes slow. so far, fewer than three dozen colleagues have joined the effort. none of them in leadership after

pushback about a proxy voting system that was misused by some during covid. >> we're not trying to go party in cabo san lucas. trying to take care of a newborn. >> reporter: luna has transformed part of her office into a nursery and the baby hasa new fixture in these halls. that is the "overnight news" for this monday. i'm jericka duncan. have a great week. ♪ this is "cbs news flash." i'm matt piper in new york. it was "oppenheimer's" night at the oscars. the film won seven academy awards, including best picture, best director for christopher nolan, and best actor for cillian murphy. emma stone won best actress for her performance in "poor
