company and analyst like it and so do i. >> thanks for watching. number one business begins with cheryl casone and carbin' in. >> forcing your boss to hand over yourr personal number to union boss says. that's what the head of the national relations board wants to do this year. is this an invasion of workers rights and what does it mean for jobs. welcome to carbin in. we have wane rogers and johnathon and tracey burns and john layfield. and columnist susan ox. welcome to all of you. wayne, you are outraged over this. and you are frustrated. you say it is a flat out invasion of privacy. >> any time you are asking a
8:31 am
federal agent to reach in and tell somebody that you have to give information to them about your employee. this is invasion of privacy and employee and employer relationship should be between those people it is like a marriage. no one has a business messing around in there. the result of all of this is the fact that the agency, by giving to the union. in other words, the agency is saying you are filing a tax return. we'll make you give that information to the union so the union can organize you. sweat shops disappeared in the 18th century. this is just a grab for power. it is a way for the president to get votes because he's, you know, he's got the union
8:32 am
therefore that's what he is doing. it doesn't create jobs. it drives them overseas. >> i see your point about the president. but the head of the nrb said the agency will run better and communicate with those who they are overseeing which is union members and taking care of them. what do you say? >> brainwashing them. listen to what you said. that is crazy talk. what is interesting though all of this and the fact that we are talking about it gives the unions a bigger voice than they have. membership is shrinking by the second but doing crazy stuff like wayne said harkens us back to the sweat shop gives the unions a voice and a positn out there. they are the largest campaign contributor to the president's reelection and probably will be again. unfortunately. they are going to stick their faces where they don't belong. >> susan, concern for business
8:33 am
leaders in the country, is that this is not only an invasion of privacy but giving too much power to the board and unions who many companies are in a death knel fight when it comes to revenues. >> look, this proposal is about making sure that companies are not being obstructionist toward unionizing activities. there is a easy way to solve the privacy issue. you let employees tell their . employers that they want to optout. the idea that employees shouldn't be able to make sure they all have a voice and participate in the union activities is silly. what are they afraid of here? >> i think with the issue of job creation johnathon, what they are afraid of. if you have unions and more powerful unions, a lot of time the financial cost outweighs the cost of more employees,
8:34 am
would you rather hire more employees or deal with a union that is cost prohibitive. and a cost and not just a union to your point. but a whole branch of government that is dedicated to serving not the individual but the union. and the fact that we have nlrb. arm of government for the unions is absurd. it is a product of not surprisingly fdr. and that era. it is not a question of privacy but question of property rights. unions don't own the company. and shareholders own the company. that information is their property and for government to come in through force and say i am sorry, you have to give it to someone else is absurd and a drain on the economy. >> john layfield. is this an anti-business idea? >> it is just pro union. they have fought over the power struggle gince the nra
8:35 am
under the administration. nra was deemed unconstitutional because it was a growth and expansion of federal powers. 1946, five million people went on strike and crippling the economy and that's when the act came in and limitted radical people at the head of unions that created a biggest booms of the last century. it is a power grab by the unions and what they do. but it is also -- if you are negotiating against them. don't get out and negotiate. you are crippling business, too. >> to wayne's point. membership is dwindling. 30 percent of the sector is unionized. unions love to see them up their membership. >> i continuing is getting so overbloin. the idea that one particular provision like this will squash job creation is ridiculous. it is only six percent. >> they would like to see
8:36 am
more. unions are threatened . the idea of unions is a threatened idea. >> my point is, why should companies be afraid. if you are doing it the right way. unions are doing good things . in fact, the company that the president mentioned in the state of the union. johnathon let me finish. the company that you mentioned mampter lock is a union shop and not only creating jobs, but they are bringing jobs back from china and it is competive in the global market place and that is not the story that anti-union people want to promote. >> i have nothing against unions ususan. >> really sounds like you do. >> they have no rights. they have no unique rights. the employee makes an offer and here's the job. the union can take it or hit the bricks and you advocate government coming in and forcing the employers to act in a certain fashion is not
8:37 am
freedom. >> this is protecting worker's right. >> the question is jobs. the question here is jobs. >> but, but, let me address susit is forcing them f. they make that the law. that is forcing them it is not the individual's choice and that is an invasion of the individual's choice and that is absolutely wrong and should be struck down. now, when you come back to me. >> no, in fact it will drive jobs overseas. >> (talking all at once.) one at a time. what example, wayne. >> master lock. he picks one example out. wow, i found something up here. master lock. i can go talk about that. i will name you five that doesn't do it. >> look, i think the bottom line is no one wants telemarketer teamsters calling them at home and trying to
8:38 am
drag me in the unions what the majority of people realize unions have cost a lot of money. we don't need worker protection anymore. we get that. we are in a different world and so the cost of companies to protect themselves is unfortunately taking away from hiring other people. >> john, do you agree with that? what about the energy industry and drill coal mines. >> look at car makers and airlines and baseball. they were sunk by unions and those legacy calls - costs that they built up. you can choose both sides. if you want to see where tracey. new car manufacturers are going in the south where they don't have to deal with union states. they cannot simply afford the
8:39 am
union costs that build up over decades. money goes where it is reward. >> you had me until you used baseball. >> they almost killed baseball. >> thank goodness for mark mcguyer and steroids. >> coming up. how would you like to get paid with the e-mails and phone calls that you answer. new law in south america could have your paycheck heading north. ♪ ♪ you and me and the big old tree ♪ ♪ side by side, e, two, three ♪ ♪ counthe birds in the big o tree ♪ ♪ la la la [ male announcer ] the inspiring story of how shipping giant can befriend a forest may seem like the stuff of fairy tales.

8:43 am
>> i think it is much too heavy hand intrusive. but the spirit behind the law is personality. burnout is real. worker productivity decreases the more you work. diminishing returns. getting an idea of boundaries between work life and home life are important. shouldn't that be up to the employee. some people like 24 hour connection. >> it should be up to the employee and employer. >> this is arrogance of power. state man dates who and how and why. it is ridiculous. i can't be reach i can't call back and i have a emergency. that is crazy. if you are working you are working and if you are playing, you are playing. it doesn't matter 24 or five

hours a day. it is a relationship between the employer and employee and that's all that counts. if it is unsatisfiryy one they will adjust that. they will do whatever it is necessary to make it work and it is between them. >> this reminds me of the french when they implemented 35 hour workweek and making sure they were leaving on time. and you know what, if you don't want to answer the e-mail hand in all of the electronic devices. i free lance when my kids were little. this is the way the world is right now. if you pay them for an late night e-mail. dock my pay when i make a doctor's apoignment for my kids k. you imagine what it does for pay roll costs. i was on the phone and e-mailing and how do you document that? do i come to your bedroom and see what you are doing?
