8:53 am
>> i think the union movement, even though i belong to it and love my unions, is falling apart. th is a publicity snt play. i don't know whether it wi go anywhere. involves a tiny numberof people. the thing that worries me is if the unions decide they want to organize university students themselves the way they do in some european countries. then we have the people of the united states, the cab driver paying the drug-using university studt. that's what ares me. >> there is a w to avoid this and alw these kids to share in the loot their schools do get, at least some of it without unionizing, right? >> this union is saying it's not going after pay initially. it's to cover to make sure that their tuition and all their expenses are covered and that their health is taking care of. >> why the steelworkers union? >> exactly. any help that they can get from unions -- but the point is, they're not -- these students are not employees, number one. and playing a college sport is voluntary and this only deals
