and i thought it was interesting that it was not attention attention or labor labor and i was wondering if you could talk about that a lytic asymmetry. >> i purposely, i talked about said with this, i purposely put those words to resonate where we think about supply and demand and how we think about buyers and sellers. i need more training in economics where i can poke less fun at them. but trying to understand how we've come to treat labor like we talk about any other product sold has always confused me, that is a part of relationship where somebody can demand somebody's attention and somebody can supply or provide that moment of service, right now that's absolutely in asymmetry. what would it look like to turn the two-sided market into an equitable exchange. if i was talking about businesses, we might have a better model and i think that could be a way forward, how do you recognized individuals acyl proprietor and really sure up what it means that this is a new main street, chambers of commerce can be involved to see that the individuals providing our sole proprietors and information

today, he is the secretary of labor. so to my right it is my distinct privilege to have an -- two extraordinary secretaries, secretary of transportation and secretary of labor. thank you for joining us. >> great to be here. >> nice to see you all. >> even though gene scalia has only been confirmed for about five months, he has not let moss grow understand his feet. he has already done some very aggressive work in finalizing an important regulation on the joint employer rule. these sorts of regulations that are pulling back on regulations and allowing the economy to grow are what these two cabinet secretaries are really focusing on. i would like to turn to secretary chao first. you're a real leader on innovation. there's commercial space, there's drones, there's things like this. but how do you reduce burdensome regulations at the same time that you're promulgating rules for the future? >> well, i'm really proud of the fact that the department of transportation is, number one, in terms of our deregulatory activities, so w

this is deja news asia coming up forced labor of global profit report claims china is forcing its weaker minority to work in factories for global brands china says there's no factual basis to this so what is going on we asked one of the reports plus. south korea's border the coronavirus continues disinfection teams fanned out to sanitize stations and public transport around the country. welcome to news asia it's good to have you with us ah global brands such as folks fog and met say these bans nike and others using products made by ethnic we girls under forced labor a report by an australian think tank claims that is the case the australian strategic policy institute says at least 80000 have been forcibly transferred out of the factories in china that make products for global brands in china's not west is where china has detained some 1000000 we girls in detention camps ostensibly to fight terrorism the report also says some of these 80000 weaker is what transferred from detention camps to these factories in these factories came the report's authors we were forced to take part in so-call

in your view, pre-coronavirus, how strong is the labor market? >> the labor market is doing well.n a world where we didn't have coronavirus, we would be talking about an astonishing number. is not been seen since mid-2016, which is astonishing. wait the labor market is strong could be leaving us open to more struggles if a coronavirus pandemic actually hits. romaine: what does that mean when you say struggles? martha: 50% has come from education and services and leisure and house -- hospitality. if we do hit a pandemic of those could be really impacted. obviously in very different ways. education and services very difficult what will happen, but leisure and hospitality if people feel like they don't want to leave their homes or buy food from someone they don't know, those of the sectors that could struggle. scarlet: we are already starting to see that with the airline seeing that perhaps people can take time off and reduce schedules. you are seeing the beginning of that. how low will it take to show up in the data? i know this is unfolding for our eyes, but will it show up weekly

labor camps contributed through production. the destruction of the jews was certainly not in distraction or a waste. this was one of the reasons they were fighting to begin with, to rid the world of the jewish race. in a lesser sense there were other efforts. a total war acquired the control or elimination of anyone who weakened society or threatened the nation's ability to fight. civilians in the east were incarcerated, screened and executed as communists, partisans or jews. the army used hundreds of thousands of people for forced labor, working on roads and fortification. it sent more of those people back to germany for forced labor there. this was part of their anti-partisan campaign. give me a show of hands if you have heard of the so-called "comfort women? " i bet most of you don't know that the germans did the same thing. they set up a network of what they called "field brothels." the women who worked in those bubbles, the vast majority were not there voluntarily. they were rounded up in the streets, taken out of concentr

we just talked about labor in ghettos and p.o.w.ork sites and now we'll focus on it as another purpose, a main purpose for the camps. frankly it is hard to find a camp that didn't use labor. labor fulfilled two overlapping objectives, productive and punitive. the productive objective was making up for a labor shortage and producing military supplies and performing other functions at minimal cost and after all most young german men were fighting a war and so the germans had to pull other people in to perform the labor. and in fact the largest category of camps were the camps for foreign forced laborers, that is nonjews. there were more than 36,000 of these camps. how many more we don't know. we're going to be counting them up for years to come. the prisoners who were in them were there simply to work in every con seepable sector of the economy, agriculture, manufacture, mining, retail and trarpgs and even social services. individual firms and factories had their own camp and when there was demand for small number of workers at many s

s policies which prohibit the use of forced labor of china to has responded to the claims made in the report here's what a foreign ministry spokesman said. how the report has no factual basis this organization has repeatedly thrown out prejudice filled fallacies related to the shin jang issue it's only doing so now to follow american anti china forces and smear china's efforts to oppose terrorism and fight extremism in shin jang in the early. joining me now the co-author of the report from the australian strategic policy institute dr james lybrel dr level wacom it's good to have you on the program with us now the chinese government has said that this report has no factual basis but like to ask you what evidence did you use to arrive at the conclusions that you have in the report. oh what we spent. a team of researchers binning over 3 and a half months collecting numerous data points using the chinese government's own media reports as well as documents available wildly available locally available on the chinese internet we also he said light imagery to to examine some of these factorie

the labor of producing cotton and the violence used to get that labor never made enslaved people feeln as slave owners tried to use them as tools to generate wealth for themselves. so, i want to wrap up there. i want to turn to our big questions and make sure that we're all on the same page. so broadly a couple things we want to think through here that we thought through today. how did labor shape the lives of enslaved people in the u.s. south? how can we understand the power struggles between enslaved people and slave owners? what were some of the tools used in these struggles? what do we know? yeah? >> with the growth of cotton in the deep south especially we saw a lot of families get broken up. you said that one third of marriages were broken up. obviously that could be pretty traumatizing for a family and especially with the kids that were separated from their families. a lot of just, i guess, tough times for people in the -- during the growth of cotton. >> yeah. the demands of slave owners and the power of slave owners to move people around broke families, broke communities among

the labor of cotton the crop reshaped the united states.e the nation's geography and the nation's economy. we look at this slide in other contacts, i pointed out the early statehood of louisiana, mississippi and alabama, this movement of people into what is now the deep south, what was then called the old southwest. we can see here the movement of the nation into these spaces. when we look at these maps, we can think about other aspects of what actually is happening when these states are being created. these maps connect the movement of people to the movement or expansion of cotton production. you can see two big things here, the top map is 1830 and the bottom is 1840, and each dot i think is 2000 bales of cotton. there is a lot more cotton being produced as the 19th century was progressing. the other thing you can see is the shift in where the production was happening. it was being concentrated around the mississippi river. the production of cotton was moving into new spaces, south and west as the 19th century progressed. the people and th

it's been an area of growth for the labor movement. so, talk about one or two of the stories of the innovation that you have seen the workers appreciating through the unions you think could be promising models to gain more power in the economy going forward. >> guest: i will try not to take too much time. i devoted a chapter to in las vegas and i write about them because in many ways they are a model union that has done a great job with people that are low-wage workers lifting them into the middle class and had done a ton of politics. she makes $19.51 per hour and get $41 a week. that makes about $40,000 a year and i visited her apartment. a nice three bedroom apartment with her three kids. she's raised them on her own. she doesn't need medicaid or food stamps or welfare. and i described the example to show what the good effective union can do to lift people up to the middle class and in comparison, the typical nonunion hotel worker in the nation, they stripped $11 per hour for the bureau of labor statistics and they often don't work 4

. >> i cover and labor work place for 19 years, one of my concerns people all over the nation, so many people had no idea what unions are, what unions do and how unions break bring us the 40 hour workweek and pensions in the bumper sticker the folks at broadus the weekend. i wanted to explain to people, unions have achieved a whole lot in american history but now they're in decline and they have been taken on the chin. as a result, things are considerably worse for workers i believe is the case 30 or 40 years ago. i think far too few americans realize that american workers have it bad in many ways compared with workers and other industrial nations. on very basic things, were the only industrial nation that does not have a law guaranteed paper until, paid maternal leave were the only one that does not guarantee all workers paid vacation in the 28 nations of the european union, all workers are guaranteed for weeks paid vacation in inference six week period and for decades, american workers have been suffering terrible wage stagnation while corporate profits have reached record levels. i

labor, the seller's market in labor and employers on the buyer's market. so, there is that the basic that's why from the 1820s until the 1990s, the american labor movement tended to be more restrictive immigration policies and the employer elite wanted looser as the former country club republicans have become the new coastal democrats, or their children and grandchildren have, you have seen that the shift of the perspective. but even if you don't do anything else for labor, if you have the tight labor markets, and it isn't simply immigration. it's the paid vacations. maybe early retirement, things like that, anything that makes employers compete for workers can help their bargaining power. >> i agree with you that if i was going to get a second answer maybe it's a substantial increase. i do think of the working class is better than the country we have to restart the productivi productivity. sort of stagnates past 20 or so years and that is a lot of motivation and th in the story,i agreed that i would add some more so that we can get the economy into the po

so the space organizes the flow of labor. every thing has a function so that you don't even have to watch the slaves because you know what they're supposed to be. 'd so it's a kind of industrial production producing industrial raw materials for the factories of britain and new mass consumption markets so there's a huge transformation of production which means for the slaves it's much more exploitative the output per slave goes up 10 times an average in each of those crops from what i've been in the 18th century. from 9000 kilometers away from europe these men and women where the hidden face of the industrial revolution. the world was changing in the early 19th century europe was urbanizing and amassing more and more wealth money flowed freely and london was now the world's economic at the center in the british capital a growing middle class flocked to the new department stores over looking at the satin dresses combs ivory umbrellas and sweets they purchased with the fruits of slave labor. there's a distinction between what's

they use african slave labor to supplement the labor force as a whole. you see the process of exchanging native captives for african captives and that is the foundation of slavery in new england. that process will continue, exchanging captives, through the 16 70's. suggests, central to it was new england's connection to the west indies. especially the growing plantation economies. the english settled the west indies about the same time they settled new england. they arrived in barbados a little bit later. very quickly these islands are colonized and turned over to sugar cultivation. isost the entire island strip of forest and any piece of land is planted with sugar can e. they used enslaved africans to work the plantations. these islands, because they have been stripped of the forest, they need food. they need provisions for the enslaved labor force. they need supplies like timber for building and burning, they need livestock for food and labor, and they turned to new england. you see new englanders selling the provisions to the west indies. used to fuel

from the journal of labor.erprisen of free seems to be a carefully chosen --ernative to free markets free-market thought. i am wondering if you might comment on the distinction and whether free enterprise as it allows more wiggle room and it also even allows as you suggested initially the anti-communist labor movement and was it to embrace free unionism and free trade unionism as opposed to state-based communist labor unionism. in that sense, free market is much more closely associated and harkensulation back to laissez-faire. great set of questions per partly i just went by usage. my sense is that free-market -- i can't remember what the chart looks like, but free-market only overtakes free enterprise may be in the 1960's. free enterprise was a much more capacious language. free-market has a political meaning but largely in an economic register. nevernterprisers restricted themselves to purely economic but more what is freedom? and that is what they cared about. period that in the between the 1930's and 1970's

and they need labor, so they use african slave labor to supplement the labor force as a whole. you see the process of exchanging native captives for african captives, and that is the foundation of slavery in new england beginning in the 1630's through the 1670's. native captives are african captives. -- for african captives. as this cycle suggests, central to it was new england's connection to the west indies. especially the growing plantation economies there. the english settled the west indies about the same time they settled in new england. so 16 20's. they arrived in barbados a little bit later. very quickly, these islands are completely colonized and turned over to sugar cultivation. almost the entire islands are. they are entirely stripped of forests and any piece of arable land is planted with sugarcane, and eventually, they used enslaved africans to work those cane plantations. these islands, because they have been completely stripped of their forest, only growing sugarcane, they need food, they need provisions for that enslaved labor force. they need supplies like timb

the face of this george clooney said he was saddened by the alleged child labor on the farms he hasn't quit as a brand ambassador but he promised he would slightly frown while doing any future commercials with him. somehow i think in this bresso which has the money to buy george clooney and starbucks which has a yearly profit in the neighborhood of $26500000000.00 can't afford to pay adults a living wage so their children aren't forced to work it's not enough that these companies stop buying from these farms because that will just damage these communities even more they should be held accountable for those lost wages that families in a desperate position until then the company will have to be transparent that starbucks consumers are drinking an ethically sourced beans from plantations where pre-teens work for slave wages but some of the proceeds do go to the needy plastic surgeon of starbucks c.e.o. howard schultz so his corpse like form can smile with how not having any real emotions reporting from a starbucks is named we care of redacted tonight that's our show but go check out my st

radical labor history.lso very important that the trade unions institute more internal education amongst their membership, i don't know the exact figures but i know a pretty good some and percentage of union members that voted for antiunion politicians recently including our president, not my president but somebody's president. i think those are very important. i think we need popular education and community education, one thing i touch on very briefly and let them trouble, but not a whole lot is a communist party network of popular education institutions like the jefferson school for social science which at its peak is a ballpark of 8 - 10000 enrollees every semester. that is a pretty advanced network of community popular education. so if we had that network again i think we would see a much different movement and there would be more young people that would understand the history. i think back in my research on the jefferson school for social science, historians like herbert in the 1930s and 40s was teachi

labor secretary jean scalia about helping unemployed and displaced workers. last week, congress passed a second stimulus package which included paid sick leave and paid family and medical leave for workers, enhanced unemployment insurance, and enhanced food security programs. i also spoke with secretary scalia about the availability of $100 million in dislocated worker grants in response to this health emergency. in addition, i urged both the white house and the congress to include in their stimulus package direct aid to the states who are on the frontline of this crisis. over the weekend, i spoke with vice president pence, treasury secretary steven mnuchin, and the leaders of both the senate and the house. and on friday, i spoke with our entire federal delegation that represents maryland about the importance of this much-needed assistance. the package currently being 300 billionudes a dollar emergency economic relief plan to help small businesses make payroll and cover expenses. this legislation would provide cash flow assistance through federally guaranteed

i guess we'll keep it to one. >> tight labor markets. >> there we go. >> labor naturally wants to have a sellers' market -- a buyers' market in labor. and employers want a buyers' market in labor. that's the basic. that's why from the 1820s up until the 1990s the american labor movement tended to be for more restrictive immigration policies, and the employer elite wanted looser and more generous immigration policies. as the former country club republicans have become the new, you know, coastal democrats or their children and grandchildren have, you know, you have seen that shift and the employer perspective versus the -- but even if you don't do anything else for labor, if you have tight labor markets, and it's not simply immigration. it's paid vacations, it's maybe early retirement, things like that. anything that makes employers compete for workers is, can help their bargaining power. >> j.d.? >> i agree with that. if i was going to give a second answer, maybe a substantial increase in r&d spending. i do think we do have to actually restart productivity. it's sort of second in the la

the fruits of the enslaved man or woman's labor enriched the slaveholder and kept the labor a er good and impoverished. even if however he managed to be free, there was no support system that could assist in that transition. lincoln had no illusions that men were accustomed to thinking of themselves as members of a superior race what embrace equality with those who just yesterday had been their property and alleged inferiors. dilemma, to to this encourage black men and women to give up their birthright in order that america's promise could be fulfilled to those who remained, left african-americans fuming. their own contributions to the building of the nation, it was a sacrifice most were unwilling to make. by the end of the war, lincoln conceded that african-americans would have to be accommodated in this nation shaped by a new birth of freedom. nearly 200,000 black men in the union military force convinced him and other lovers of liberty that such devotion deserved american gratitude. his emerging acceptance of the veterans as evidenced in the public address may or may not have been

to sign a labor contract and to transfer authority. so the american revolution was about the rights of human beings in certain ways, but especially about the rights of men and fathers gaining more authority of their children. sometimes this was good. it is conceptualized as in the best interest of the child but it is an interesting transformation. host: when you teach this, what strikes you? what kind of questions do you get from your students? you are going back to a very different part of america. ms. brewer: it is amazing, but strikes you? they love this stuff. it is not that distant for them because in a certain way, we have extended childhood so far, they are all almost still seen as children in the sense that they are almost all still seen -- they are under 21 and they are not allowed to drink, for example. so to hear about the debates and struggle over what to find childhood and adulthood actually makes their own situation more understandable in this artificial way we have extended childhood. in other words, they are all shocked

department of labor says we cannot do that at this moment. and at this moment, when people are hurting so badly, when they lost their jobs, their furloughed, they're laid off and they're worried about paying their bills the trump administration says were going to send them a cash payment, we say and i hope it's a bipartisan statement, we are with you too. it is not going to end with one cash payment. were going to make sure you're on edge your benefits will keep you and your family together and if by chance you come up a little bit ahead in this process with a cash payment, so be it, so be it, if this moment in history facing this national emergency we would rather air on the side of you being able to pay your bills and keeping your family together, future needs we can discuss, we can debate and see what we can do with the state systems but for the time being, no apologies, $600 a week from where i'm standing is exactly what democrats are committed to. i hope republicans as well. our belief is that this is the moment we need to stand with the

departments of labor, they couldn't achieve what you want to achieve with your amendment. in other words, if you go forward and you're successful -- i don't believe you will be -- but if you were successful, what we would end up with is, frank frankly, a deadlock, no increases in unemployment insurance benefits. now, let me tell you beyond this administrative problem which was not our creation, was identified by the trump administration, beyond this administrative problem there are two or three things i want to say as a bottom line. first, we are determined to make sure that the workers come out at least whole if not better through this terrible experience they're going through. now, this notion that the workers would come out better is not unique to the democratic side of the aisle. the cash payment proposed by the trump administration, $1,200 per adult, $500 per child, for some will be a benefit. may even be a small but important windfall that comes their way. so be it. that working families across america would end up with this cash payment from the trump administration

department of labor says we cannot do that this moment. and when they're hurting so badly, lost their jobs, furloughed and worried about paying their bills, the trump administration says we're going to send them a cash payment and we say and i hope it's a bipartisan statement, we're with you, too. it isn't going to end with that one cash payment. we're going to stick with you and make sure your unemployment insurance benefits are going to keep you and your family together and if by chance, you come out a little bit ahead in this process, with the cash payments or with this calculation of this formula, so be it, so be it, at this moment in history, facing this national emergency, we would rather err on the side of you being an i believe to pay your bills and keeping your family together. future needs, we can discuss, we can debate, we can see what we can do with the state systems, but for the time being, no apologies. $600 a week from where i'm standing is exactly what democrats are committed to. i hope republicans as well. because our beli

the shortage of laborers -- agricultural laborers gets so bad that by the middle and late 1942 it becomes a draft-deferred position. >> you don't have to go to the war. your job is critical. >> you cannot be drafted. you cannot be drafted. if you leave that job, you may be eligible for the draft. but if you are in that position, you are draft deferred. agricultural laborers, farmers, they become draft deferred. we need people so badly. that doesn't mean you can't enlist. that doesn't mean you can't go work in a factory. by late in the war, there are limits. you have to get permission to do that. right? at the same moment that we're expanding the agricultural needs because we're feeding people at home, feeding americans abroad and then we're feeding all of our allies, right, helping feed our allies. at the same time, the laborers are shrinking. there's a huge push to get american women involved in this. right? we had seen this before. we had seen this in world war i. there was a volunteer organization called the women's land army of america that was around. we expand that in world war ii.

or the profits from your labor. so thinking about today, what we've seen since world war ii is -- remind me, how many of you are from farms again? a whole bunch of you are from farms. lots of you are from farms. so you know since world war ii, farms have -- we've had a lot fewer farms, right? so peaked in the 1930s. so the number of farms have declined, but the farms that have remained have become larger and more specialized. if you want to be successful today, you have to have a pretty large farm that's fairly highly capitalized, fairly highly speci specialized in crops and livestock and so forth. what that means is that for anyone who wants to get into farming, good luck, right. if you don't inherit the farm, it's almost impossible to get into farming. so raise the kind of capital to buy the land, what's an acre of land going for now in iowa? >> 15. >> 8000? >> 15. >> depends on the quality of the land, 8 to $15,000 an acre. so to be able to purchase land, the machinery, equipment, so forth, almost impossible to g

let them be laborers. you got all these different groups and this huge push, let's get more women, right? let's get more women to do this, right? some basic numbers for you. we end up with something like 3.5 million women working in the agricultural field. right? 3.5 million women, right? which is a much bigger number than you think of, right? you think of world war ii, we think of rosie the riveter, right, or the women pilots because you're here and have me as a professor, right? you know, 3.5 million women are recruited. there's some bias against them in the beginning. read documents about this idea that women aren't going to be able to the job, we can't trust them, this idea of urban women, right? nobody wants a city girl to work on their farm. they're going to break their heel and not be able to do it. very quickly the women prove themselves, they're able to do the work that needs to be done and make a real difference. some basic numbers. 1940, women made up 8% of all farm workers. by 1945, it was 23%.

doing the domestic labors. in fact, all the research tells us that's -- that is not at all what women have done historically. their roles have changed. okay? we can look, women far long periods of time until the early part of the 20th century were engaged in -- they were responsible for milking the cows, collecting eggs, raising chickens, it could be for home con jumsumption or the market. they were primarily responsible for growing food for the household, maybe selling some of it. and as we talked about as farms have become more specialized, women's roles have also shifted. so now how many moms are primarily responsible for the bookkeeping and the accounting? does anyone have a mom -- hands up. okay. a bunch of you. a bunch of you from family farms, your moms are primarily responsible for the bookkeeping, the accounting. it's a role that strongly is associated with women. and what we see increasingly today is women's importance in terms of off farm labor. if you look at usda data, united states department of a

reunion act -- national labor union act no longer existed. they found no penalty in engaging in unfair labor practices. the number of charges that employers -- that were brought against employers for engaging in those practices were skyrocketing, of 400% between 1960 and 1980. the number of workers who were fired trying to form unions, up 300%. those who had to be reinstated and given back pay because it was proven the company illegally paid them, up 500%. the whole industry emerged of labor consultants who advised companies on how to pursue these policies, went to fire people. how to appeal it in the courts. how to get around the law. the bill was supposed to fix all that. it got to the house and ran into a brick wall in the senate. the democrats controlled the senate, they controlled the house, they had a democratic president was that he would sign it, jimmy carter, but they could not overcome a filibuster in the senate. they could not get 60 votes and it died. in fact, there have been several attempts since them to reform labor law. they h

labor m.p. tennis mcshane had. been charged with expense for italy no at the some something like that and he had to stand down. the climate felt right george galloway had just been elected in bradford west so we would try and emulate that in. the reason so this was about 200-920-1201 extension 0. it was a very tough campaign and you could see the rise of the the far right in politics which has been normalized today but shows a tough campaign but i mean you perform got a bill you save your deposit which is always you know a great test for minority parties and such contests satiate your desire for parliamentary contests to do say ok i've tried up done that and the like so much has the respect party it was was 5 years old and difficulties and turmoil yes. i was becoming quite disillusioned and then i heard whispers of the scots are going for independence and this really excited me because you know i lived in westminster i used to have a lot the past i could see up close and personal. the corruption and the shenanigans

i would love for us to work in a bipartisan fashion to figure out efe department of labor and how to fix the problems with those folks who deserve the benefits get all that they deserve that we actually have a system that is nimble enough for us to meets theg need state-by-state without exceeding the need to so that when we are in the position again and looking at phase four and phase five we are not asking for a conversation about systems that are so antiquated or perhaps even obsoletes that we are doing something that was unintended. i'm not suggesting we can get tonight or we can get that done over the next few months. i am however concluding we should work to get it done. >> i don't disagree with my friend from south carolina at all. i agree completely. we are in the midst of a national emergency. that's not my announcement, its announcement of president trump. when you look at the people filing for unemployment and the hardships that they are facing a come of the lifestyles they tend to live to try to comply with shelter in these and all the rules going on, the number of people
