the guy sitting right here was the cio of kimberly-clark, an old friend of mine. so i asked him how many servers per employee he had, and he said we had 0.4 and headed for 0.2, proudly. ok, who do you think is sitting at 30 to one? facebook. would you think is sitting at 50 to one? for your technical people in the room, do you think they are operating inefficiently? no, i do not think so. furthermore, do you think that they are using all those servers to serve up web pages? no. right? these are truly information- power businesses. at the end of the day, my opinion -- lots of people may share this -- is all companies and that being information companies. all companies and of being software companies. i just did he know speech for a large german car company that you may know, that is clearly when you start realizing what they are trying to do, right -- it is really can we use all this cloud technology to takeoff structures down and across this down so now, i can change and 8% spent on a bunch of stuff that other people can go due to 80% i get

what was the purpose of the cio?s have excess deposits, meaning the difference between the amount of money put in by customers and the amount of money lent out to other customers. in jpm's case that differential in 2012 was a whopping $350 billion. which is by the way more than the gdp i think of many countries. in jpm's case the responsibility for wisely managing that $350 billion resided with the cio. now within the cio there were various portfolios. one of them was called the scp, or synthetic credit portfolio. this is at least 2007 jpmorgan's cio invested a part of its money in risky complex credit derivative products that synthetic credit portfolio grew dramatically in size over time and was extremely profitable, generating a approximately $2 billion in gross revenue. it was profitable that is until 2012 when things began to go south in a pretty big way. and that's where the trouble began, culminating in today's charges. as alleged, the defendants violated in essence, their obligation to honestly value the bank'

i mentioned, the two defendants were traders at jpm's chief investment office or as it's known the cio. what was the purpose of the wio? >> well functioning banks have deposits meaning the amount put in want the money it left out. in ypb owes case was a 325 billion which is by the way more than any gdp of any kun. within there were several sieve portfolios. up was called the credit part of the money was v.ed in risky credit derivative products. that synthetic krifn portfolio grew ma drought any inside and was extremely postable jen waiting $2 billion in cross the revenue. he was positive until 2010 when things began to go south in a very big way and that's where the trouble began, culminating in today's charges as alleged the defendants violated in essence their obligation to honestly value the bank's assets. banks that trade in these sorts of risky products are required to record their daily assets and liabilities in an honest way by marking their position in their mark to accounting. the fair action is the raider which they can make positions by traders are required to make terms. of

they represent 40 percent of government employees, and that aussie afl-cio saying we ought to do thisch the director of an apartment in government turns. of like to see how much the afl-cio orange and how that compares with the rank-and-file of the union members. where will this go? do you think it will actually become policy? >> well, it's opening up for a public comment. people will comment there. you know, ultimately i think it will go into effect. if i had to say. really it's not going to do anything other than create, as you said in the beginning, envy already in companies between the regular workers and maybe the executives. you know, what is really good for a company is a qualified, talented seal. and you have to pay, under the current economy, a lot of money to attract a qualified talented ceo. like steve jobs. he was getting paid hundreds of millions of dollars, but at the same time he created billions for the apple company. dennis: for shareholders, one last point. these paid performers coming in here so upset about this, some of the same people a dictator two decades ago sa

. >>> the afl-cio gearing up to take up six repubcan governors next year. you say if big labor gets its way, all wrkers will pay no matter what state they're in. >> brenda, exactly. look, this is a simple equation. you need to understand, everyone should understand, what monopolies -- what unions are. unions are basically monopolies. they exist to charge higher wages than the market will bear and provide fewer jobs. i don't blame the union. that's their role. by attacking these governors. they're attacking competition in the form of workers. the less workers in every one of those states, the more the unions can control and extract higher wages and more secure jobs for their employees. that's why everyone in the country should fear unions growing instead of, thankfully, shrinking like they have, because you'll get the same thing times a thousand, that we will in auto industries, airlines, everything, where eventually eventually crumbled those businesses. >> shouldn't the union be praising and be embracing of what they're doing in these states instead of targ

we had the greatest unionizing drive in the history of the united states, the cio. we had strong socialist and communist parties that work with the cio, that mobilized tens of millions of people into unions who had never been in unions before. and they went to the power structure at the time, president roosevelt as its emblem. and they said, "you have to do something for us. you just have to. because if you don't, then the system itself will become our problem. and you don't want that. and many of us in the union movement don't want it either." although some of the socialists and communists might have been quite happy to go that direction. and i think roosevelt was a genius politician at that time. he understood the issue. he went to the rich and the corporations of america, the top, who had become very wealthy at that time, and he basically said to them, "you must give me, the president, the money to meet at least the basic demands of the massive people to be massively helped in an economic crisis. because if you don't, then the goose that lays your golden egg will

she writes the economic disparities and albert briggs from the afl-cio. back in 1963, unemployment among african americans and nonwhites the total unemployment was 5.7 per possess. over the last 50 years this trend has been steady. the percentage of unemployed african americans remains almost double. african american unemployment is much higher almost 13%. dr. simms let's start with you. is this a stark sign that these inequalities have not changed? >> i think if you look at the numbers in the aggregate inequality has not changed but there has been quite a bit of change in terms of opportunity for african americans who are fortunate enough to get an education, a good education. we have seen movement for black women for example from domestic work into more pink collar and office work. >> which contains some dangers itself. >> indeed, even though they have moved into these jobs their pay is not equal of that of white women who have entered into those jobs in greater numbers than they were in the 1960s. we have also seen movement into management positions an

melissa: so the head of the afl-cio says the u.s.or movement is in crisis and in an attempt to turn things around labor boss richard trumka wants to expand membership beyond unions and include groups like, the sierra club and the naacp. but would including these groups take away the whole reason unions were created in the first place? here with his insight, former national labor relations board chamber, peter schaumburg. peter, thanks for coming back to the show. let me ask you, the whole point of a union is to organize workers and give them a voice against management that would be oppressing them. who is oppressing the sierra club? >> i think what organized labor is doing is very, very misguided. how and what they will get from partnering with the sierra club i don't know. melissa, if i can go back a bit so people understand. union density of the private sector from 35% in the 1950s to less than 7% today. it isn't because of organized labor. a variety of different causes. decline in manufacturing base. the widespread bankruptcies of

coming up next, why the head of the afl-cio says labor is in a state of crisis. first, a check on the national weather forecast from the weather channel's reynolds wolf. reynolds, good morning. >> good morning, becky. here is a quick snapshot on the forecast. it looks like today we could see cooler temperatures in the northern plains, severe storms possible in the northeast. flooding rains still for the central plains and, yes, still hot in texas. we're talking brutal heat there. later on, as we make our way to the weekend, more showers to the eastern third of the country. still very warm in the southern plains. speaking of the southern plains, no delays expected in dallas, but when you get on the plane, keep the shades down. makes it a little cooler inside the plane itself. atlanta, pittsburgh, could have thunderstorms popping up. with it, delays are a possibility. folks, more coming up right around the corner. keep it here on "squawk box." >>> it is time for "the executive edge." this is a new segment we're launching this week, focused on giving business leader

joining me now, managing director at chaplain capital investments and the president and cio of ng capitalyou for being with us. i want you to listen to a sound bite from the ceo o nasdaq talking to liz claman earlier today. first gi a listen. >> well, our communications system worked well yesterday. it could always be improved. thfirst order of business is to focus on solving the problem and then deal wiih people directly involved with the problem. in one of those open lines we have people representing our issues on the call. they were there to give regular updates. the formal update out after the close of trading which wanted to do. i think we did well. dennis: let's start with you. communications system worked we? at think we've worked well. as you been smoking? >> i don't think so. honestly, if he has then i have. i think they did a great job. if you really understand the nasdaq, it's different than the new york stock exchange. this is a very decentralized trading system priest had been shut down for a half-hour and get it back up, they did a pretty good job. dennis: first of all, it w

everyone from the nea to the afl-cio, the seiu, the sierra club, people for the american way. and the whole point of this meeting was how to pool their money and come up with a strategy for their goal which is to turn the united states into their version of a progressive liberal utopia. and they set out three objectives. the first objective was to get rid of the filibuster rule in the senate so that they can ram through legislation and nominees including judicial nominees. and by the way, the second goal was to oppose all voter id laws and any other efforts to improve the integrity of the election process. now, what does that tell you about hem? it tells you that they are willing to break the rules to win, and they don't want any rules in place that will make that more difficult to occur. the point of this is that you're hearing today from lots of people talking to you about the kind of public policy solutions we want for the problems we have. well, we're not going to be able to put those, our ideas for solving those problems in place unless we elect the right people to office
