government agencies, so that a few years ago i think 2014 there was an induction into the labor hall of honor at the department of labor and others brought defendants of the railroad workers to this. this was like the beginning of recognition as they had a ceremony there and then using ping comes to visit barack obama and both of them talk about the contribution of the chinese railroad workers. the chinese were also ignored because they were ashamed that people had to leave the country and at a certain point you want to be associated with the chinese at all especially drtme the cultural revolution so this was a big revolution. we had an event in 2015 and for the first time stanford university acknowledged the contribution of the chinese to the existence of this university . so they could begin understanding different conceptions of history as well, we worked with irish and irish- american scholars she and maybe we wrote letters home that people still have with working people that took baths at the end of each workday and found that very strange. heating up water in barrels and took baths. for example. we will

nationwide where care okme operators minimum wage or other labor laws, and in many casesde, the l department of labor ordered that workers be compensated foolen wages. aia genove was among those cases. her boss stole from her, twice. she took us to the bank of america, where her employer forced her to sh checks worth $5,600 for back wages, and then give it all right back to him. >> i'm ally mad at him. that's my check, that's my money, so it should be mine. >> reporter: her employers, rommel and glenda publico, pleaded not guilty to multiple felonies, including and theft and tax fraud. rommel publico defended the treatment of his caregivers, telling us they were "likae family," but he refused to go on camera. thdepartment of labor also declined an interview, but in a written statement, a spokespersonaid the agency has conducted "extensive outreach" to ensure operators "pay their woers the wages they have legally earned." ver theu aware that o last decade, there have been 1,400 cases of wage theft across the u.s.? >> i certainly wouldn't doubt that there may be such a situation. but i think it's prett

of labor, had to deal with oversight. you had to testify on the hill about what was going on at the department of labor. there's always a contentious relationship. this white house's general posture, which is go take a long walk off a short pier, where does that stand in your experience of washington in how things usually work? >> well, i don't think there really is any precedent here. the closest president, again, is richard nixon. but the stonewalling and the cover-up in the nixon administration, at least you had some degree of negotiation, some degree of bargaining, and eventually went up to the supreme court. but here we have a blanket stonewall. this is an administration that says absolutely we are not going to cooperate. and in william barr, you have an attorney general that i think donald trump finally found -- you know, it's almost as if starting with jeff sessions, he's been auditioning attorney generals to be the attorney general he really wants who is not going to represent the people of the united states, not going to report to the people of the united states, but is going to be a lap dog fo

of the fair. >> theer could be decent or very little. >> what they make depends on how often they work, when they work, etc. >> and the labor department on that issue of independent contractors, the labor department recently issued att that pretty much allows uber and lyft, economy companis to keep classifying workers as independent contractors and not employees. could public opinion make a sifference? had it huge uproar and they chaned their policies. >> i think the uber case a little different from the tnstacar one. there are a of uber drivers who don't want to have it as a full-time job. they like the turn it on over the weekend and make few extri bucks. it's hard to think how you would it devise a perfect solution. given some drivers want to be employees and some don't. >> and speaking of public opinion e there's a tech back lash happening in san francisco. a higher ip 0 tax to raise for housing and other cost. is this reflective of a broader public opinion push. officials in the public wanting to hold it tech companies more accountabilitiable for gentrification and things flkcome andequality? >> tech companis are big and rich now.

and to the department of labor. it will also re-establish a pilot program for an offbase program for veterans and their spouses made available at locations such as local high schools and community centers. i think it's so important to include this. h.r. 2326 would also create a five-year grant program at the v.a. for qualified community organizations that provide innovative transition assistance services to veterans. i know we have many of these organizations again in my district in florida, all over the country, one example of this is the veterans alternative at holiday, floridament i'm grateful for the great work that they -- florida. i'm grateful for the great work they do. finally this would require the v.a., d.o.d. and s.b.a. to coordinate their efforts to conduct a two-year independent assessment and curriculum review of tap. and the transition process as well as a five-year longitudinal study on the effectiveness of these tap changes. i'm glad to see the bill being taken up today, again, by my friends and sub

perkins reauthorization helps move more opportunities into apprenticeship programs, and the department of labor is working very hard on introducing some new opportunities around apprenticeshipings apprenticeships as well. but this is a very broad opportunity that i think needs to be seized. >> well, thank you. thank you for being here. we hope to all seize it. i think it's bipartisan for sure. and thanks for the courtesy. i appreciate it and yield back. >> thank you. gentlelady from california. >> thank you. thank you, madam secretary, for being here. you mentioned that students are saddled with debt. i think everybody would be nodding their heads over that. as we know, thousands of students are reporting complaints about the department's contracted loan servicer to the consumer financial protection bureau. five weeks ago, senator murray, ranking member of the senate health committee, and i sent a request for information related to the scathing office of the inspector general report that detailed the department's failure to oversee its loan servicing contractors. and today, we haven't received

department of labor. i've also experienced the power of paid family and medical leave personally. as a new mother whose baby needed to be delivered early and go to the nicu for two and a half weeks. as i dealt with my own healing and worried about my baby's health, the one stress i didn't have was economic insecurity because i was among the first people to take advantage of california's new paid family leave program. i would like to highlight five key points today. to begin with, almost all working people will experience a care giving need at some point in their lives. while paid parental leave is needed, it's not enough. according to the most recent data from u.s. department of labor, roughly 75% of people take leave to take care for a seriously ill loved one or their own serious illness compared to the 21% of leaves taken for the birth or placement of a new child. i'm now a caregiver from my father who is suffering from alzheimer's. from someone in the sandwich generation i understand this need. secondly paid family and medical leave strengthens individuals and families economic

department of labor, roughly 75% of people take leave to care for a seriously ill loved one or their own serious illness compared to the 21% taken for the birth of a new child. my father suffering from alzheimer's, so someone in the sandwich generation i understand this need. secondly, paid family medical leave strengthens individuals and families economic security and the national economy, reduces racial disparities and wage loss, and approves workers health and that of their family members. without access to paid leave, families, especially low-income families and people of color, have no good choices. one in seven low-wage workers and one in five low-wage working mothers report losing a job because of illness or the need to care for a family member. third, paid family and medical leave grams are endorsed by employers who may see benefits such as reduced turnover. evidence from the states that implement a family medical leave show that large majorities of employers report positive or neutral experiences with the laws and that many experienced positive results such as improved emplo
