, the labor department's top nonpolitical legal position. in short, before there was a notorious are bg as a justice ginsburg has been effectually called, there was an audacious best c margolin. after retiring in 1972, however, she faded from the public record. it's not hard to understand why she deserves to be rescued from obscurity, but i would like to explain how i came to the task. in the fall of 1974, i was a freshman in baltimore, far from my home in new orleans. my high school guidance counselor had written margolin, a deceiver's alumna and from of 1925, the letter of introduction shown here. through college, law school and into my legal career, i got to know bessie margolin. she was the first female lawyer ever met and we were connected by common childhood experiences. bessy and i were words of the same southern jewish children's welfare agency, which educated as at its newman school, a half-century par. bessie margolin personified excellence in the law and in public service at a time when women attorneys were discouraged if not outr

is that still a labor movement? >> it's a really important question, on one hand, let me go back to david's book, there's a sense in which the argument is, about the importance of liveable wage and how to achieve it. and it's captured right in the title. one beautiful thing, about a wage war, it's a universal policy. whoever is on the bottom, it's mainly women and people of color and it belongs to everyone. regardless of color and background. there's another argument in his book that i think is a part of answer, and that is, because inequality hurts us all, the reverse lodge beginning is true, raising the floor, and more broadly the social contract around it, it's good for the economy as a whole. it benefits us all. it doesn't just benefit the lowest paid workers. so that's an important part to think about. what they are talking about politics of common interest that helps us get past the wedge politics and we do know, that economic anxiety is a beautiful fuel for race baiting, and, in part because it makes it so ea

labor day right around the corner. eileen has got that and details for you if you have any special events planned. eileen: that is right. anyone got plans tomorrow night? if you are a bruce springsteen fan, you probably know what i am talking about. the concert, the river tour, coming to national park tomorrow. gates open at 5:30 p.m., the concert starts at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow, be clouds and may be showers early, but by the time the concert starts -- well, when the gates start, all that rain will be over. temperatures start around 80 degrees as you are getting to the ballpark for the concert and then falling into the lower 70's by the evening. that cool trend taking us right into the weekend. we will talk more about that with ronda coming up a little bit, but right here in roslyn, everything is still quiet, julie. julie: everything is happening elsewhere. you could say that. our latest problem is down in brandywine, and that is where we out with us right now checking 3013he drive along 5 and --vy volume, not out of the

is that still a labor movement? there is a sense in which of course the co-argument is about the importance of liberal wage and how to achieve them. one beautiful thing about a wage floor, let's remember the basics, it is a universal pol y policy. but it is universal. it belongs everyone. there is another argument in the book that i think is an answer to your question and that is because inequality hurts us all, not just the disadvantage, reverse logic is true. raising the floor, rebuilding labor standards and more broadly the social contract around it, it is good for the economy as a whole. the politics help us get past divide and conquer and the wedge politics or the dog whistle context. we know from our history here and in europe that economic anxiety is a beautiful fuel for race baiting in part because it makes it so easy to scapegoat. a piece of what janice is saying we have to have a comeback, organize it in an inclusive way and make sure everybody understand this is their conversation, too. >> what institutio

is exacerbated by the fact that the official labor movement, the american federation of labor headed by gompers is becoming more and more conservative at this time. now, if you believe that the working class is the agent of change, well, how do you deal with a conservative labor movement? do you just try to destroy it or do you try to work with it in some way, or do you try to build another labor movement like the industrial workers of the world does, which we'll see next time? so the more moderate socialists wanted to make socialism relevant to the everyday life of ordinary people by stressing immediate reforms. the socialist party platform 1904, 1908, 1912, kind of fudged this by demanding both immediate reforms and long-term radical change. so for example, the socialist platform includes issues like public ownership of the railroads, free university education, not a bad idea, aid to the unemployed, government unemployed assistance, some of these have come about, right? the initiative referendum and recall, these progressive era reforms which would try to give people, ordinary peop

the country in protest to big crackdown on labor and labor activism. in new york city in 1886 over the summer of '86 in the wake of strikes and boycotts and sort of in the national atmosphere after the hay market bombing in chicago in may of '86, 100 labor activists are arrested, many of them given actually very long prison terms for -- there was -- it was pretty easy to do that actually because they were accused of and tried and convicted of conspiracy. so, if you called a strike or called a boycott against an employer, in the eyes of the law you were guilty of conspiring with your fellow workers to destroy the business of another person, so you could be put away. this is a -- one of the big strikes that takes place, the streetcars in new york city. the streetcars which precede the subway system are privately owned and they're given franchises. they make millions of dollars a year. they bribe the -- i have a great graphic that shows the new york city council had 24 members in 1884 and there's a front page article in "the new york times" to show one of

what is striking about the labor movement as opposed to the old labor movement if you start in labor history, the analysis always was that it was the more skilled workers in th and the me class and sort of the better off workers that led the movement. if there is anything to be said if that actually low-wage workers and workers of color that are leading the movement in an incredibly pathbreaking moment in history. at the moment that's not enough value. we have to talk about manufacturing workers. there's this recognition of the service sector just in terms of the question earlier about employers, a lot of what i've been doing lately has been talking to public agencies about enforcement and one of the things that comes up when i make the argument for the broker community organizations they haven't been given a formal role in the law and we have to start thing in about the enforcement as the government does over here that's what we do together. one of the flashbacks i get from the local agencies, what do i say to the local business you all come and let's recognize that markets are alwa

there is a bifurcated labor market.e not seeing a lot of growth on the part of the people who have these qualifications and information technology that enabled them to work in jobs that involve a lot of technology. what we're seeing in the labor market, wages are beginning to increase. the other part of the story is less qualified workers who are very numerous have been many on the sidelines, and so far until now we have not a of movement. participation rates are beginning to rise very slowly. the has been the case for the last couple of months. it has been the case for the last year or so. this is a trend that is setting in. that is going to continue and this is going to go back to work. wages are not going to move up and that is something we have to worry about. i have that here in front of me. i'm sure you know job openings are covering around a record hiresthey have surpassed for the last few months. it reminds me of spain where they have 22% unemployment but you hear business manager saying they can't find anybody

and then getting back to victoria's point about labor. it's not labor per se. it's labor unions. that's what you meant to say. that's what you actually meant, right? but labor sounds like it's everybody. but it's not. it's labor unions. in fact, progressives were part of a very strong unionist movement. unions didn't represent everybody. they represented themselves, and in particular, they didn't represent african-americans. they were generally racially exclusionary. they didn't represent women. they were white male dominated unions and that's who the progressives strongly supported and that's who promoted this particular legislation. and so at that time, there was skepticism about unions. there was skepticism by african-americans about unions because they were so dominated by white males. and there was skepticism by businesses about unions and other people. and the constitutional hook on which this skepticism was grounded was the notion that it wasn't within the police power to favor some subset of the population over others. it -- a general interest law, a law for the common go
