alabama this week and while amazon has pledged to resent every legal challenge possible it is now getting hit with a new campaign from small businesses who are calling for one of the largest companies in the u.s. to face accountability for antitrust violations a new coalition representing thousands of businesses across the country is calling for the federal government to take action after a month long investigation from the d.o.j. found that amazon prioritized its own products and stifle competitors in its marketplace so joining with just the latest is legal analyst molly barrows contributor to america's lawyer now molly what are the specific goals of this new campaign against big tech and how do they plan to get it done. well i think they really plan to put a lot of pressure on lawmakers rachel they feel like now is a good time to go ahead and pursue this for probably a number of reasons but certainly in light of congress coming forth with recent investigations and saying hey we think that these antitrust regulations do need to be beefed up and so they're riding that wave and saying hey

alabama's right-to-work status gives alabama a strong economic advantage over forced union states. for example, 69% of jobs reshored from overseas back into america between 2010 and 2019 have gone to right-to-work states. u.s. commerce department data, adjusted for cost-of-living differences, revealed 2019's manufacturing job pay in right-to-work states averaged $83,000 per employee. $4,000 more than in forced union states. that is a big difference in pay. according to bureau of labor statistics data, right-to-work states overall job growth was a robust 11% over the past decade versus a meager 2.4% in forced union states. when that data is limited to manufacturing jobs only, right-to-work states over the past decade enjoyed a very good 9.1% increase in manufacturing jobs while forced union states had a horrible .2% cut in manufacturing jobs. better yet, 2018 census data reveals after tax mean income per household, after cost-of-living adjustment was $64,072 in right-to-work states versus $60,244 in forced union states. that's on average $4,328 more real adjusted for cost-of-living

. -- montgomery, alabama. i guess all of your colors and your guests, if you have a strategy and look at the economics can be cognizant of the housing market, you should be ok. i think i am probably two years from retirement. my wife and i will probably look at our last, final destination for a home. hopefully it will be a good one. a smaller one, and that is our next, probably our last purchase. so, real estate, i guess has been something that was to our advantage. i just wanted to do that, the xers, if they are planning a career, be cognizant of the real estate market. guest: i love that story. i think it is a positive story of homeownership. what we do see and what the federal reserve reports -- and i think what his experience was -- is that he earned equity in the all of his homes and was able to purchase larger homes along the way as his family grew and as his job relocated. we do see the federal reserve reporting that homeowners have, more than $255,000 compared to renters at just $6,000. i think it real

the city of bessemer, alabama, thrived until steel jobs until, well, it didn't. until the plant closed and all those jobs moved out or were shipped overseas mostly to china. today the biggest employer in town is a small mom and pop retailer called amazon. what is essentially a warehouse to, quote, fulfill orders for the internet giant. and where any day now, history could be made if the bessemer location votes in favor of negotiating to form a union, which would be the first american branch of amazon to possibly unionize. maybe many americans don't realize, but amazon workers in continental europe have long been laborized. strong labor unions haven't pushed their global push into that market, only here in the u.s. for some reason. if bessemer's employees vote in favor ofunionizing, it will mark the largest group of workers in 30 years. this is perhaps the most important graph to explain the state of our rigged economy today. by the 1950s, unions in the u.s. have been growing steadily. unionized workers and the top 10% of earners in the u.s. were collectively taki

state of alabama voted against forming a union the decision is a blow to campaigners who were hoping for a new era of work activism under president joe biden many southern states have passed so-called right to work laws that union policy. german chancellor angela merkel is to reduce the part of the country's 16 states to decide on coronavirus restrictions and then centralize them with the federal government a new plan will give birth in the parts of impose national restrictions with new infections when new infections reach a certain rate germany is battling a devastating 3rd wave and regional decision making has led to a confusing patchwork of regulations. if i want to go shopping in berlin i can do that if i get tested beforehand here i can do that right in front of the shopping center and test it for free. the testing bird goes in an hour and the shopping can begin with these rapid tests many cities and listening restrictions here meanwhile in other places new carpet measures are implemented and curfews put in place. everywhere in the country the rules are different leading to conf

he actually broke alabama's rushing record for the school there. just had such incredible football career already and he continues to inspire. like i said, some of these kids as he makes his way into the nfl have to see just where he ends up. but surely an exciting career ahead for him. and so cool to see him giving back to the community where he spent so much time. what a success story. alright kylen can't wait to see where naji hairs. >> goes in the nfl. thank you for that live report tonight. all the best now jay and all stands there. >> it's got more than one draft party. who knew? coming up, someone shot a bus driver with this arrow and now there is a hate crime investigation. we'll have the latest. plus what we're learning about 2 what we're learning about 2 fatal hit and runs in one bay when a truck hit my car, what we're learning about 2 fthe insurance companyone bay wasn't fair. i didn't know what my case was worth, so i called the barnes firm. i'm rich barnes. it's hard for people to know how much their accident case is worth. let our inj

the moment he landed in alabama.y spent one night in bessemer jail and then transferred to the jefferson county jail in downtown birmingham. it's now that the jefferson county courthouse and until recently the seventh floor where dr. martin luther king jr. was used for storage until someone realize the historical importance of those old jail cells. last year that floor was memorialized and opened to the public. because of the pandemic, no the many had the opportunity to see it. while i was in birmingham last month for black history month i had a chance to see this little piece of civil rights history. >> we memorialize this area, like a i said, ant put this over the jail, that that was dedicated to the legacy of dr. martin luther king. so in here you'll clearly see there's very little space and -- as you come to this one, these are the only two jail cells that are left at the county. >> wow. >> so the county is, the county jail now, in jefferson county, is across the street. these are the only two cells that were lef

if you're sending black troops to texas or alabama or mississippi or louisiana you've got thing okay, are they going to fit into that society because with all the things we're willing to compromise to fight this war , that is one thing and will not compromise you can't just say we got 25,000 black troops, let's send them here it's the negotiation to the local chamber of commerce, local army commanders, like community that already exists there and leaders who want to have these guys trained up. so that's one of the issues at the army constantly faced in places like hattiesburg and it's this thing where black soldiers could ride in a taxiwith white soldiers . so the taxi companies are saying if i've got the capacity for four passengers, and i've got to black soldiers and two white soldiers and they both want to go to the same place, the city is like no, i'm sorry. we must have segregation so there's all these ways it's incredibly inconvenient to try to make war in a place like hattiesburg mississippi or in the south in general and then there's like, where do we put all these, where do t
