the california campus, but after many years and attorneys' fees, the court forced them to recognize cna the collective bargaining unit for nurses. there have been several strikes over the years by nurses and other health-care workers, and in fact, our contract expired 4.5 years ago, but we have been unable to reach an agreement. the nurses on the bargaining team were told by an attorney that it was ideological and not financial and that the ceo at the time, a doctor, said at an employee reform -- at an employee forum, that he supervised. i urge you to insist on a community benefit agreement as advocated, which has mechanisms to keep sutter accountable and helps ultimately our patients. thank you. >> i am michael, and i am talking about a proposal which has been made by the older women's league, which i am a member of. cpmc's proposals to build a giant new hospital on cathedral hill has dangerous implications for decades for the survival of st. luke's, for the housing in the tenderloin area, for unionized nurses, for long-term care, for charity care, and most of all, for poor, minority a

nagl mentioned recently brought his command team to cnas for a discussion.room was overflowing with his officers who only wanted to discuss military suicide with him because they deal with this every day. because it's happening now and because changes can occur now. further, the importance and urgency of this issue pertain to more than the service members and veterans who tragically die by suicide and their families. military suicide is a national security issue. george washington said, the willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional of how they see the veterans of previous wars will be treated by their nation. if washington was correct, suicide among service members and veterans threatens the health of the all-volunteer force. mentors and role models including parents, teachers and importantly veterans play a critical role in the enlistment decisions of young men and women. we should realize that these mentors and role models will not steer youth toward the military if they

i passed the test for my cna license, but what good will it do when i have a felony over my head. >>are of yourself, okay. >> thank you so much. >> appreciate your time. >>> developing news in john edwards federal corruption trial. that tops our story. lawyers for the former presidential candidate are asking a judge to delay that trial by two months for what doctors are calling a life threatening medical condition that requires surgery. it's unclear exactly what that condition is. edwards is accused of using campaign donations to hide his pregnant mistress. the trial is scheduled to start january 30th. >>> the owner of north carolina lumber company says he is shocked after three people were gunned down inside his shop. the alleged gunman is currently hospitalized. >>> angry customers tossing eggs at the apple store in beijing. it came after the launch of the iphone four was cancelled because of overcrowding. it will still be sold online. >>> the man suspected in the disappearance of natalee halloway was sentenced a few hours ago. a judge sentenced joran van der sloot to 28 years. he

and that's why you've seen president obama speaking out about how cna must play by t rules, that it cannot game the system from which it has benefited significantly and that we believe that american companies and... can help china achieve their objectives and create jobs for the american people at the same time. and we also believe that they need to step up to human rights, to universal values of human rights. >> rose: we conclude this evening with tom caplan lann, the novelist with the new spy novel call he spy who jped ofthe scree" i aays wted to write a thriller but i didn't feel i had enough experience in the world and i didn't feel that i could contribute to thegenre something that was new until the idea of ty hunter came to be. >> rose: wynton marsalis on martin luther king, jr., gary locke of china and tom caplan on spy novels when we continue. >> rose: we begin and te note of t facthat thi cntry honors and remembers the dr. martin luther king, jr. today. he was one of the great civil rightseaders this country has ever known. he was an activist who inspired millions and helped chang

they're doing that at a time when cna is tryio pull away from them and bome a little more market driven. very intriguing. and having the ability to not have such a passionate-- you know, restrictive framework to believe this is the only way. that's the biggest misconception. i think it's partly why so many western people find china so hard to understand because they think it's communist. it can't work. >> rose: are the chinese leaders wrong in their obsession about stability and security? or are they absolutely right, and, therefore, communism itself is at stake if they allow too much freedom. >> i love the way-- i think it was the "financial times" described the chinese communist party on the day of the 90th anniversary. they called it the world'sa biggest chamber of commerce. >> rose: that's great. >> and i think that is the right way tong about it. this is not really a communist party in anything other than name. it's a party that leeks to hav the power that it has, but it knows it can only succeed by changing it, through time, and allowing more success and freedom for its people. so

and then when we talked to her again, we said what are you going to do after your cna?he said, you know, i never really thought about that. well, one day you could be an lpn or a registered nurse. let's put them on a path of dignity and help them have a career. i think that's incredibly important. what i want to do, too, is talk about some demographics. so the career coach program on the left column, 43% minority population, county wide 31.5%. the city of tacoma has about 200,000 residents county wide which includes suburban and rurals, 720,000 residents. military and veteran, 6% are in the career coach program, and county wide we have nearly 20%, so that tells us there's actually an opportunity to do better work with joint reachout. and even though we talk about nursing which has historically been female-dominated, you see more men get into nursing now which i hope will continue to drive the wages up and have more of a diverse work force there. [laughter] public assistance recipients, um, 17.5% of our career coach are public service recipients. pearce county, 45.1%. i

i've explained earlier in the last example about the cna program can we do serve single parent and we understand helping people move up the progression latter is important again, helping people become employed, reaching dignity and become part of the permanent workforce is equally important. this time i'm going to turn it back over to jersey and she will share with you some case studies of different students. >> okay, what other way to show how this career coach program has impacted the lives of our staff and to let you need a couple of them. to meet mr. mr. was a certified nursing assistant, making $15 an hour. she worked multitier good samaritan hospital. her dream was to become an rn. she just didn't think it was attainable. she did not finance is to be able to do that. she sought a career coach flyer at work, met with their career coach who helped her applied to nursing school. the coach was able to help her with the tuition upfront and also chat care services. three years later, she graduated in pasture nursing board. i am happy to say she's a registered nurse on her cardiac unit

certainly for the cna is as seen in the affordable care act, but really oftentimes it is the janitor,e else in the facility that picks up on behaviors' earlier and says something is wrong with that gentleman down in that hallway. we should check this out and not wait for the problem to take place further. on our chapter level we have a 16 hour dementia care specialist training which is highly in demand across wisconsin. in many of these cases we see through the application of these training programs and staff have a lack of call and have new tools beyond just the hammer and nail to address some of these difficult issues. a further problem just to complicate this a little bit is staff turnover in these facilities, which is very, very rampant. you can go back to the same facility that you trained in a year later and see a whole sea of fresh faces that or not there before because of staff turnover we don't really value these physicians and jobs to highly in our society. we need to, perhaps to look at that is why we are providing a better standard of living for people working in those fac
