unions involved like rivers that were not involved last time. president vietor: and it would not be a power purchase set up? >> it would not, but there would be issues between different unions that believe they have jurisdiction over the work and that we have to work out differently and better before. president vietor: when would we hear more about those issues? up points a week to be ready to respond? >> as soon as we are hearing if there are concerns being expressed, we will share them. when we typically hear those sorts of things is with a pre- bid conference when contractors ask questions and union reps have expressed some views as well. it is a good opportunity because it is a cost-free opportunity for us. we did not award this contract. it has expired and we can reissue this contract -- sort of a no harm, no foul situation. we have the design phase complete for the chinatown public health center and the muni would coach facility. we will come back to you with information on the project -- and the progress with those projects because they will be under construction soon. president vietor: have there been issues in relation to those projects? >> the sam

over the years have tried to address safety and health with a lot of contractual language between management and unions, setting up extensive training programs. you have funds that are dedicated that come out of collective bargaining language that go into training and ensure that the workers are getting the proper safety and health training as they are coming into the industry. that is not something that was mandated by osha. it was a bargain by that unionized industry and the construction unions. i think it made a huge difference in addressing safety and health in changing conditions. one other thing that osha has done under your leadership, in construction, but one of the highest risk groups are immigrants and not english- speaking workers. it makes up a big part of that work force. you look at the fatality rates among those workers, they are much higher than other workers, and osha has done a terrific job in trying to get that out. >> construction is a very heterogenous industry. there are many small construction jobs that higher immigrant workers, who they pay less than minimum wage, and essentiall

economy, we are using the advantage of integration. 2010 it was the year of the birth of the customs union between russia, belarus, and kazakhstan. we have a unified customs tariff and a unified customs code. business appreciate it this opportunity. by 28%, the trade increased. i think this is an historic event. for the first time on it opposed-soviet space, we have zero real integration -- in a post-soviet space, we have a real, genuine integration. within a customs union, we have identified standards and regulations. through technical rhetorician standards, we will push it toward modernizing their production and we will use the best world practices, including our partners in europe in formulating those standards. from customs union, we will make that step towards a unified economic space. starting january 1, 2012, we will have a unified market with unified legislation and a free flow of goods, services, and people. in our near future, we will have a coordinated economic policy. it would be genuine integration breakthrough. it will radically change economic and geopolitical consideration of euras

increasing this attention to labor's role in progressive politics, ties will be strengthened between unions and organizations like the sierra club, the national organization of women, and the naacp. it has been clear that the depiction of labor union members as people who are greedy and irrational, and to use collective bargaining to demand more than is reasonable is really not an accurate depiction. that became very clear when we saw public sector employees in wisconsin agreed to monetary concession. in the form of higher contributions to their health care benefits and pension program. this is not the first time they have a great when confronted with harsh economic realities or employers in legitimate economic growth distress. those of you in detroit are aware that the united auto workers have bargained to lower labor costs for u.s. auto workers and since the 1970's, united steelworkers have worked with steel producers to lower costs so these companies can stay at of the bankruptcy and so we can continue making steel in the u.s. collective bargaining has not only resulted in unions are run
