6:08 am
which pose certain problems. but if this work in progress, i would say the u. n. has adopted a resolution asking the wells top court to define the obligations of countries to combat climate change. it was backed by more than a 130 members states the call for the international court of justice to provide a legal opinion on the climate crisis fall as a campaign led by the pacific island nation of van iwatsu on diplomatic edison james base has a support a historic decision that campaign is say, is a major step forward for climate justice is so decider no vote was needed. the general assembly deciding by consensus to was the world's highest court, the international court of justice to determine what obligations countries have for the climate damage. they've cost more frustrating climate injustice feeds divisions

6:12 am
supposed to offer ownership equity in a strong benefits package. and now it says that offers a minimum wage of over $17.00 an hour among the highest in the country. right. the committee chair though, sees another picture over the past 18 months. star box has waged the most aggressive and illegal union busting, clear pain. in the modern history of our country, that union bustling campaign has been led by howard shoulds. starbucks has become the focus of intense criticism by labor groups or allegedly trying to crush attempts by individual stores to unionize. every day we wake up thinking about how we can put our people 1st, put them in a position to win, and do everything we can to demonstrate the conscience, the heart, and the values of starbucks coffee company. and there was support from a number of committee members don't derive one of the great american sex success
6:13 am
stories. i don't want to be part of any which 100 vilified any american business, but the committee also heard from some of the more than 80 people who say they've been fired from starbucks for union activity. thank you, chairman centers among them. jason sexton, a form, a union organizer at a starbucks in georgia who testified he was fired and a phone call to us before the beginning of his shift for what was described as disruptive behavior. before the hearing. he told me that far from being disruptive, his union work was intended to better the futures of his co workers. and his 2 year old daughter, eva. because otherwise, she's going to have to continue to see mom and dad struggling and unhappy and stressed the quote unquote american dream is just hustle culture at this point. and i don't want my daughter have to deal with that. and a number of republicans on the committee shop, the attacks,

the national labor relations board, claiming it displayed a strongly anti corporate bias in a bit to gone a union support for the biden administration. or in l. r. b employees weaponized in the agency against american employers. and while that debate rages by away, the reality is that doesn't like jason sexton and his family a paying the price of what they regard as corporate greed. my kinda, i'll just 0 washington birth for both them. kathy crayton is director of cornell university school of industrial and labor relations. she says that a unionized workforce is more productive and safest for the employees. workers generally want to have and this is particularly with the starbucks workers. they want to have a say in their workforce, they don't want to be told what to do by a benevolent dictator. as howard schultz apparently thinks that he is. and i think
6:15 am
the that what the american public should know is that the a unionized workforce is really a much better workforce, not just for the workers and for the employer also, and particularly beneficial in a civil society. so where there's a unionized workforce, we have a more equitable workforce where people of color do much better up to 20 percent better than their non union peers. where the gender gap is caught in half in a unionized workforce where there's higher productivity, higher retention rate, a safer workplace, a happier workplace. and then there's all these myriad of things that ripple out from that so that unionized workers generally give more to charity. they have increased voter turnout, they volunteer in their communities more often. so there's lots of reasons for america to want to have a unionized workforce where employees simply have
