the reason you should join the union, the union is bad, the union is corrupt. there is an imbalance in how much the employer can communicate with the union how much union organizers can communicate. the biggest thing now is the organizers were workers who have the right to enter the building. it is very easy in this self organized, homegrown effort for workers to talk to other workers. that, in many ways was the secret. workers talking to the coworkers. those workers, unlike many outside union organizers could get access to the cafeteria, the break room. they had far more access to the workers. host: if you want to ask about these questions involving unions, you can call and let us know. republicans, (202) 748-8001. democrats, (202) 748-8000. independents, (202) 748-8002. and --, (202) 748-8003 you can give us a call at that number. getting unionization is one thing, how do they keep it sustainable without somebody backing them. ? guest: what happened at starbucks is remarkable. starbucks, like amazon is a fierce antiunion company. don't even try to unionize us

union in u.s.e than 8300 workers at the warehouse were eligible to vote. the effort was led by christian smalls, who is not interim president of the amazon labor union stop >> we want to thank jeff bezos for going to space because when heas up there, we were signing people up. amy: smalls will join us in a moment. amazon responded to the union vote in a statement, saying -- "we're disappointed with the outcome of the election in staten island because we believe having a direct relationship with the company is best for our employees. we're evaluating our options, including filing objections based on the inappropriate and undue influence by the nlrb that we and others, including the national retail federation and u.s. chamber of commerce, witnessed in this election." the victory in staten island comes as a redo of a union election led by amazon warehouse workers in bessemer, alabama, is still too close to call. the second vote in alabama comes after the national labor relations board found amazon unl

become members of the union. we actually have reporting requirements that are more extensive than any reporting requirements than a corporation has an those recording requirements are out for everyone to see every single year. the membership makes the decision about whether it wants to be a member. i'm not sure i understand with the gentleman's intention is but it's this kind of level of anger at the other. i'm sorry he is that angry. i don't quite understand why. what unions do is we try to look at what starbucks is trying to do and actually help people get a better wage, better benefits, better health care, retirement security. paid sick leave, we try to make sure they can do better in their kids do better, that's what unions do. we work with civil rights groups we were to make the world better in the two things in life that help create empowerment and agency for folks is basically education and unions. that's what we try to do. there is a lot of this level of dissembling from people who have never been in unio

-- a union. host: for the amazon model what made it successful? guest: great question. one of the -- i use the word amazing aspects of the victory on staten island, new york city as that it was not done by an established powerful union like the teamsters, it was done by a union founded by a fired amazon worker and his best friend to continue to work in the amazon warehouse on staten island. you were these two little delete -- little david's taking on this goliath with one million employees across the united states. and they managed to get two dozen workers inside the warehouse to really join their union effort and try to organize and reach out to the 803,000 workers and they are brilliant. we reach out to hundreds of thousands of workers, they spoke to them at the bus stop as they are coming and going to the facility, they held barbecues, they held bonfires to speak to the workers in the winter, and they did a good job with putting amazon -- rebutting amazon's arguments. one of the main arguments

meanwhile, andrei gromyko continued to defend the political interests of the soviet union with one of his main achievements as the soviet minister of foreign affairs, which gromyko occupied in 1957 was the signing of the famous helsinki accords. this document consolidated the territorial results of the second world war and proclaimed the principle of the inviolability of european borders. 1982 ussr celebrated its sixtieth anniversary throughout the country , festive events were held, commemorative coins were issued, stamps, photo albums by this time, almost no one doubted the validity of the words of the soviet anthem, the union of non-ruin free republics rallied forever great russia, the unity and power of the ussr seemed unshakable. the most beautiful end of the olympic season of figure skating on ice star team of champions the best figure skaters of the country and the world continue. this means that there are twice as many benefits, so milk is a bundle of benefits of milk, which binds us for only 79 rubles. fix. price for everything low price. more benefits on a savings account, i

this is a precedent in the history of the european union even once. no, the chair was sent to accept members only after confirming full compliance with all requirements. brussels this has already caused outrage in some eu member states accession to the european union is a process there is no quick procedure for accession if we did it is we who would turn the accession into a political process and this should not happen. the risk of such an acceleration is that stability in the western balkans may be in jeopardy because. there countries also want to join northern macedonia and albania is a sensitive issue. the problem is that all countries should vote for ukraine, even if ireland, the czech republic or lithuania are campaigning. but many others doubt the european parliament and call on everyone. who thinks about participating in a dramatic situation that it turned out that ukraine the european union should provide political protection to ukraine ukraine signed its membership in the european union with its blood to give it our obligation to the murdered

you know, the roman union well and the european union, i beg your pardon, well, to some extent a reservation according to freud and the european union, he uh, of course, was about that uh there is someone else's security umbrella. and you get richer because you, uh, need to spend less. e spend on safety, and in general, everyone considered the european union as such a path to wealth, and now a very interesting situation is happening, in order to join the european union, it was necessary to carry out some kind of positive reforms there, to eradicate corruption and something else to do something, but now it turns out that in order to join the european union, you need to start a war with russia. well, uh, for some reason it seems to me that the previous criteria contributed to the fact that there were more people who wanted to join, but according to such a criterion as get involved in war with russia it seems to me that there will be fewer people wishing to join the european union, so maybe it is increasing, wishing the number of people wishing to leave european relations to be at the forefront

the agency labour that they've replaced unions workers with the union rate for the job, they've even even further. this is a race to the bottom that can only be tackled by governments stepping up. your words are powerful but are you not, in a way, simply making my case for me that the unions have been so weakened that there is a question mark about whether they fulfil any important role anymore? look at borisjohnson, prime minister, he promised just a couple of years ago he would introduce new legislation to enshrine workers�* rights. time after time over the last two years he�*s just put it back and put it back on the shelf. you�*ve complained, you said this is unacceptable, you have to introduce this legislation. still no sign of it. it�*s one of the reasons why we are calling that mass demonstration in london on saturday, june the 18th where we will have the chance to say to the prime minister directly as working people, you have got to act, you got to make sure that the likes of p&0 don�*t get away with it. that we ban fire and rehire, zero hours contracts, bogus contracts self—e

you can unionize anywhere. it's a remarkable story for the amazon labor organizers, a small independent union that began only last year and set up shop at a bus stop or the warehouse winning against one of the most powerful companies in the world. some believe the pandemic and its impact at amazon has sparked a see change in workers attitudes across the board. people realize how expandable they were these companies, how little these companies cared about them, and workers aren't going back. there's a new sense that they want something more, they risk their lives for this country that recalled, essential workers and workers are going to keep pushing and pushing. and i think this is the beginning of a new era of organizing in a post pandemic period. amazon spent over $4000000.00 to try to defeat the union boat. the company argued among other things that their $15.00 minimum wage is competitive. union leaders here have said they've already heard from amazon warehouse workers in over a dozen different locations exp

without a union.n't even know. so we had to make sure that we were educating the workers to get to a point where they started organizing themselves. once we get to that point, we said, okay, we're not going to go for this-- there are four facilities. we're not going to go for all four. we're going to break it down and go one by one by one. i think amazon was caught off guard. they thought we were going to go for all four, which we did try, but then we changed up our strategy and started doing it one by one and were able to get to our threshold. >> trevor: they came for you as well. i saw an email from inside amazon where they came after you. they would disparage you to the other workers. one of the worst things i saw they wrote about you is they said, he's unintelligent, he's not well spoken enough to start a union. no one should follow this guy. basically, they were like he's a rat black man, essentially is what they were saying about you. they were telling people don't trust him and he can't do this

well, for ukraine to join the european union yes, because the union officially shares the arguments thatntative has just quoted to us, so that it joins. excuse me for interrupting, because, well, you stand politically, you are now on the side of ukraine, but one thing is european and another thing, after all, when you take on these values. yes , and firstly, the values ​​\u200b\u200bmust be taken and for now. well, ukraine will not be able to actually realize these values ​​for a very long time, but then the most important thing is the european union and all states will have to pay for ukraine's membership in this very european union, because the main interest for ukraine is not only political, but also economic, they expect to receive gigantic now ukrainian refugees believe that it is enough to show a ukrainian passport in a store or there will be for free anyway, some part of the country will still have to be restored. but this, most importantly, ukraine has already achieved in 2014, when they signed the association agreement. with the european union, the most important military-politi

are taken altogether the toughest measures that the european union imposed against russia ever. so that is also something that we have to acknowledge . and to award cert was a la fund ally and didn't bring to care of was a concrete perspective, a concrete dade, for a potential you membership of ukraine. however, what he, what she brought and handed over to the lensky was a questioner. and so she said that the european commission is going to help ukraine, answer all the questions and then they will make a recommendation. and we can expect the european union to propose to accelerate the proceedings so that ukraine could become a candidate for e u membership. alexander a crucial vivid, but the war continues to rage. there was an attack on a train station to day. that station is part of a very known evacuation route in cramming taurus, thousands of people civilians where they are. russia repeatedly says it does not bomb civilians, but that's not what we're seeing. alexandra, that it's true. that is not what we are seeing, and that is, of course, what russia is saying of all the time

this no longer concerns russia or the soviet union, but the european union.annot be a solution. e question. by the way, when before that we were talking about differentiated, how are the cabins there, well, we need to negotiate with the countries. it's just physically material. please explain to me if there let's say in germany they refuse to yavstria, and let's say they agreed in italy, spain will agree. without transit through any other country ukraine germany austria how, again, by tankers there through turkey through the bosphorus and so on, but this will again be more expensive. this means you need to consume even less. and that means you don’t have to wash yourself and go dirty, but gas conductivity. wait. don't step aside. i am now interested in how european citizens will really endure everyday problems, because felix said a few minutes ago, we got a little fired up. yes, such plump ones have become this to us, but unpleasantly does not want to. how high is this pain threshold of his europeans. i just want to remind you that just like, say, in germany

so if the union that union forced that subsidiary arm is smaller army. i'm going to tell you about little more in a minute were to go to petersburg and take petersburg now and the commander has an option go for richmond go for petersburg. if the confederates cover richmond leave petersburg uncovered and that smaller union army takes petersburg. the confederates are done in richmond. they will not be able to hold richmond. they will not be able to maintain lee's army nor the richmond and they're gonna lose northern virginia most of the state really so this is very this is a very sensitive target. the grant is poking out with a smaller army. it could be grant's entirely open to the possibility that while he is up here in northern virginia directly supervising the army of the potomac. these guys will win the war. well, it might happen. and so any hopes without by stretching lee and all those directions he will be able to gain an advantage over him. well that leads to another problem though. another thing that grants going to have to deal with is here. so he

, supports ukraine's membership in the european union . how do you explain these statements of the minister of foreign affairs of austria? that is, only austria makes such statements regarding ukraine - it is the opposition and hungary as well and of course that causes concern because these two countries can block maybe even someone else will join to block the promotion of ukraine providing actions candidate status or prospects for membership of the european union, it is very important to work with the austrian political leadership, as far as i understand there is collective pressure on austria from our other partners in the european union and outside the european union, so i hope that when a direct decision on ukraine will be made vienna change your position and the same applies to budapest, at the same time in austria there are strong positions of skeptics regarding ukraine. austria takes such a policy of reconciliation and appeasement of the aggressor austrian politics have been repeatedly noticed in interaction with russian business ci

why is it what european union of which european union antonovich is just one thing.ouple of days, he also transmits something, but another thing is when the european union, as we now understand, does not have a single line on russia. we can just show you this now using the example of hungary, which they don’t know, let’s, let’s be here, and then you will all be waiting for me. yes , throw in hungary, already announced. poland reason for the statement of the re-elected prime minister of the country viktor orban, that a thorough investigation is needed to assess the events in bucha. since the world lives during mass manipulations , vladimir zelen added fuel to the fire indirectly, pointing to the organ as the only leader of europe who dared not agree with the official presentation of events, all bouillon vision, it was not a slur, but one was the most filthy speech one of the politicians of the european union said, and show us the evidence that it really happened, that this was not a staging? show us these proof. i can’t say who the chancellery was, urbana didn’t begin

so if the union -- that union force, that subsidiary army were to go to petersburg and take petersburg and the commander has an option, go for richmond, go for petersburg, if the confederates cover richmond, leaves petersburg uncovered, and the smaller army takes petersburg, the confederates are done in richmond. they will not be able to hold richmond. they will not be able to maintain lee's army north of richmond and they're going to lose northern virginia, most of the state, really. so this is very -- this is a very sensitive target that grant is poking at with a smaller army. it could be that grant is open to the possibility that while he is up here in northern virginia, directly supervising the army of the potomac, these guys will win the war. it might happen. and so -- and he hopes that by stretching lee in all those directions, he will be able to gain an advantage over him. that leads to another problem, though. another thing that grant is going to have to deal with. he's got good things going for him and there's some things against him. going against grant is the problem that th
