the labor in the 1960s. some of those actually have to do with a slight growth in immigration, but it also had to do with the fact that more women and younger men and women were joining labor force. ironically, this occurs at the same time in which you saw decline in manufacturing productivity gains through automation and latex, tended to drive down for labor in but other notably the government sector. but also retail and clerical in the information sector in general were expanding. so unionization over the course of this decade drops from. 1962 and which the proportion of the labor force was unionized was. 3.4%. to 1973. and which had dropped to 28.5%. and there were further declines over the rest of the decade. in 1968, the minimum reached peak purchasing and there really was no increase in the purchasing power of the minimum wage. post 2020. strikes between 1966 and 1973. and then further on in the 1970s really increased dramatically and the labor reform movements that were behind many of these strikes re

in the labor movement for the labor movement or organizations who see a connection between women's laboricipation and their ability to get union protections with the cause of women's equality in society. by the 1960s. groups like, the national organization for women and the women's action. we began press for and succeed in new, such as the civil rights act of 64. the act of 63 to directly address women's inequality in the wkpce then which sort of becomes famously by the shorthand title seven changes everything from the way that you look for a job to the kind of opportunities become open to women. i think shockingly for people who grew up in the 1980s or later, there's no recognition in all that job ads which now appear online. but then used to be improved. what usually coded bywant in a e would specify or work wanted one would right. but as a say worker wanted male worker wanted female and these this job is not for you. if you don't belong to this biological sex, do not show up at the door. if you are female for current, do not show up at the door for a flight attendant's job if you are

ali hossein raiti fard, deputy minister of labor relations , ministry of cooperatives, labor and socialfare, mr. alireza mirghafari, representative workers in the supreme labor council and mr. davoud javani, representative of employers in the supreme labor council, and mr. maitham zahorian, an expert on economic issues, are the guests of our program tonight. mr. righty fard, we will start our conversation with his highness . basically, what is the logic of your decision in the supreme labor council to determine the minimum wage, considering the importance of the issue of inflation in the lives of workers , we should not include the issue of inflation more in the rights of workers . to you and all the dear viewers, i offer my greetings and greetings and i wish you to accept my prayers. to the dear workers and employers and the production working community of the country. hello and welcome i have and i can say that in the year of growth of production and control of inflation, we will make a special effort to serve you . i would like to tell you that we decide to set the minimum wage for t

let me complete it , not for the labor force, don't forget, not for the labor force. a work whose age range is mainly between 30 and 60 years and the required calories according to the same report institute of nutrition 2840 kcal per day means that this view should not be selective , it should be a complete and comprehensive view. basically, we say that there should be a favorable basket that the labor force can meet its needs. in fact, there is someone more knowledgeable than you who is a lawmaker. if he were to say average or desirable, of course, he will bring the optimal in the law. when we decide on the minimum , you see, we, the statistical community, which i have, have statistics and the basis of statistics to provide you with a statistical center for you do not have a statistical community that is actually high at least he says that we don't have anything to do with it, which is actually other levels, there are other things , we don't have anything to do with it , we don't decide about the minimums, we don't decide about the maximums, we don't say that the max

in this, he examines working of the labor market and the role of labor unions. and again comes up with some controversial views. in answer the question, who protects the worker. people who earn their living in a modern, heavy industry, seldom engage in the kind of back breaking toil that was the everyday lot of most workers a century ago. and yet they far more what has produced these improvements. the offhand reaction of most people is likely to be that labor unions are largely responsible for the enormous progress that workers have made in the past two centuries, but clearly, at least for the united states, that cannot be true. after all, in 19th century, when workers very well, there were hardly any labor at all. and even today, no more than one out of four or five workers is a member of a trade, and the remainder do very well indeed. achieving the highest level of living in the world. labor unions do, of course, benefit their members, but far from being a key to the developed and of the modern society, they are a throwback to an pre-industrial era, to the agr

for that labor floor.et's come to this, now we have a big backlog in determining inflation and inflation, which is always a request of the society. kargari said that sir , come and skip this so that we can reach somewhere later based on that, we can do the work. for several years now, they have been saying that according to inflation , it has never been according to inflation. based on the consideration of inflation and the reason for livelihood in the supreme labor council, it is the basis for bargaining. well, it does not mean that a position has to be determined to say that this is 30% inflation. now i have to give a 30% increase . the livelihood basket is important for us. inflation is important . based on these two, how much bargaining power do i have to increase so that i can get a higher wage increase ? now here is a more important point. is the bargaining method of wage determination correct? if so, how much so why didn't he answer? so we have a problem we have a deeper root that different countrie

labor representatives.faithful workers in the past years of the table the workers have become very small and the salary increase in 1403 should be equal to inflation and possibly more so that the workers can provide their minimum living expenses , but on the other hand, some experts and employers believe that increasing salaries by the rate of inflation itself will lead to more inflation and is actually a problem. it does not solve the problem of the workers, which is debated by the supporters and opponents in the special news talk show tonight. mr. ali hossein raiti fard, deputy of labor relations of the ministry of cooperation, labor and social welfare, mr. alireza mirghafari, representative of workers in the supreme labor council, and mr. davoud javani, representative employers in the supreme labor council and mr. maitham zahorian, an expert on economic issues , are the guests of our tonight's program . please follow us on the news network . mr. farid raiti , we will start our conversation with the supre

negative correlation between output gap and labor share growth for labor share of national income. at full employment, this is, as i mentioned, another one of the second.ns that -- hold on got myself a little turned around here. my pages. here we go. what i just took you through is a subset of the benefits. by the way that full employment is no panacea. we include a detailed discussion of policies that go beyond the policies, hud care, and housing. -- health care -- antidiscrimination policies, childcare, and housing. as i showed a moment ago, labor supplyocyclical. that's what i showed you with that "live from paris are due to plot. persistently, full employmentn m the sidelines, and this certainly tracks the current expansion in ways that i think are very important. this shows prime age labor force growth, year-over-year percent change, and it shows that for prime age workers, the increase in the last couple of years has been historically quite strong. that mountain youbeen quite impe expansion. i should point out that research shows both foreign and native workers are playing a

when we talk about labor law, it is clear from the literature that labor law, labor law and welfare law are different. see, we often mistake this for the fact that we are in a situation right now we believe that a person as someone who lives in this society should at least have a life , there is no doubt about it at all, and we completely agree, because if a worker is mentally and spiritually unable to work properly, the efficiency of the work will decrease. low means that even this harms the production and the employer sector and the country's economy, so this must exist, but here the discussion is whose share is this, that is, in the labor law that we call the labor law. it should be corrected and all angles should be seen, whether the level of employment in the country is important or not, see for example i am telling you, now the world's economy has moved towards the digital economy, the current law has no meaning in the digital economy, because in the current law, you must have correspondence, you must have a place, you must have a place . . basic changes in the form. can you give

labor market data remains very high.iw it's a poster child with a response rate has been in the 30's or something like that lately -- what you have there is , you know, just wider confidence around the estimate. it does not mean the estimate is wrong, just that it has a larges something we should definitely try to improve upon. i think this is a fantastic agency that does great work. they are well aware of these issues, and are thinking about ways to improve them. say is that -- oh. the very interesting thing going on right now, and i'm sure you know i think it was embedded in your question, the difference between employment and payroll survey and household survey. the payroll survey has been picking up immigration better than the household survey right now, so that is an important thing to think aboutbroadly spen the context of the presentation i gave, i feel very confident in the quality of the indicators we are using. i mean, it's a great idea and would be a great project, and we have looked a little bit at that. i th

in this, he examines working of the labor market and the role of labor unions. and again comes up with some controversial views. in answer the question, who protects the worker. people who earn their living in a modern, heavy industry, seldom engage in the kind of back breaking toil that was the everyday lot of most workers a century ago. and yet they far more what has produced these improvements. the offhand reaction of most people is likely to be that labor unions are largely responsible for the enormous progress that workers have made in the past two centuries, but clearly, at least for the united states, that cannot be true. after all, in 19th century, when workers very well, there were hardly any labor at all. and even today, no more than one out of four or five workers is a member of a trade, and the remainder do very well indeed. achieving the highest level of living in the world. labor unions do, of course, benefit their members, but far from being a key to the developed and of the modern society, they are a throwback to an pre-industrial era, to the agr

europe's labor landscape has changed in recent decades. not that long ago, the idealized household in many european countries looked like this. one partner worked typically the man, the other stayed at home to care for the children. and of course that was supposed to be the woman. especially if you're looking at a household test. so just to be the case that women were not working at all with the pumps in the fifty's, susanna by can cause an economist with rob, a bank and trust. so you could be fired here in the mountains when you both married . and then you saw that the line was working and was working 40 hours a week. now things look rather different. women's participation in the workforce has grown significantly across europe in recent decades. that's also helped make workforce is bigger. the you remains in near peak employment of around 75 percent. it's highest level since recording began in 2009. several economies including germany, austria and switzerland have recently been at or near record employment rates. those characteristics of

that it's work , not labor.eight provinces, we have a problem, basically, workers. well, there is a problem. the importance of this work and labor force ratio means that a society that has already experienced a level of purchasing power is not willing to accept low salaries and lower purchasing power, especially in hard and industrial jobs that problem now we have the same problem in the government that due to the suppression of wages that happened in the civil service law, now in our recruitment tests, especially in good fields, basically, good people are not entering and this can be in the long run. the quality of the government's islamic resources system scares me very much. mr. zorian , it's very short, just give me one number . as an economic expert , what is your suggestion for the next year? my friend, we agree with the civil service law when it comes to the inflation rate in the civil service law , it says that the salary of government employees should be increased at the same rate of inflation. however,

it's so low, productive labor. so it's it's, it's just a heavy, it's physically offensive, especially health care. and demand for health care is only going to rise in the years ahead. societies are getting older. remember, caring for children and family members is the number one reason employees give for why they work part time again, this is overwhelmingly women. so does that mean that if we provide more care options for them, the more will go into the workforce? well, it's actually not that simple. even a lot of women tell us that they started working to join the labor force, but the contract of 16 hours, like 30 years ago. and they say never change the to drive and works with dutch healthcare organizations who are struggling with labor shortages. very elaborate shift structures, especially in health care, often make part time more attractive to both employees and employers. she says, but there's also become something of a broader cultural expectation for part time. we ask them, why did you never change? and they

we have a labor law, a labor law the basis of demand, supply and demand of the business sector is formedu have to make a decision in the labor law that please don't go to the economic enterprise, at least the livelihood can be formed for the worker, but since we tie all this to the livelihood of a householder, the result is this. today, the economic enterprise is in trouble and the work goes ahead of the current law , according to torb. that is, you take inflation into account. our livelihood basket is correct . look at a family of 3 and 3 decades . see how many people are working in a family of 3 and 3 decades. this is another information. we found out that out of these 42 million insurances that now there are some of them working, 20% of them are working , out of these three and 30%, three of them are working , one of them is working, but maybe dear viewers can listen now, tell me sir. what are you saying, we can live with 10 tomans, for example, he is right , he is right, but when you look at it from the point of view of an economic enterprise, in order for that economic enterprise to

it means that you believe that the labor law should have changes and the labor law should be amended. example, the field of labor is demanding, this is also the field. the employer of the labor law of 32 years ago, the economy of the world has changed . it is not possible to proceed with the discussion based on those conditions . you have to see all the angles in this new labor law , but unfortunately, less areas are now involved in the labor law surgery of different parliaments of different governments. could it be possible, mr. afsharpour, how much do you believe that the labor law should have changes or reforms in this case? in the name of allah, the most merciful, the most merciful , i offer my greetings, courtesy and respect to you and your dear viewers. there is a lot in the economy that is involved in the determination of wages, and the law only mentions the livelihood basket and inflation, which has never been implemented due to various possible reasons, that is why we believe that article 41 of the labor law must be amended. we have other components in this matter, let's see

inflation has eased substantially while the labor market has rneat is very good n. but inflation is still too high. ongoing progress in bringing it down is not assured and the pweo returning inflation to our 2% goal, restoring price stability is essential to achieve a sustainably strong labor market that benefits all. today, the fomc decided to leave our licy interest rate unchanged and to continue to reduce our securities holdings. our restrictive stance of monetary policy has been putting doward pressure on as labor market tightness has eased and progress on inflation has continued, the risks to moving into better balance. i will have more to say about monetary policy after briefly renewing economi developments. recent indicators suggest that economic activity has been expanding at a solid pace. gdp growth in the fourth quarter of last year came in at 3.2%. for 2023 as a whole, gdp expaed 3.1%, bolstered by strong consumer demand as well as improving supply conditions. activity■ in the housing sector was subdued over the past year, largely reflecting high mortgage

but labor economists say that's unfair, more people are working after all. and it's possible that some of the traditional incentives to work more might be changing. you still want to live in a nice house and that you have to live with your parents until you're 30 simply sad because the labor, my, or the housing market doesn't offer anything. i think if they could work more and then would be able to buy that house if the like their parents were or their grand parents were, i think they boards but the fact that it's not possible. so i think, i think the choice for a free time is, is not. i think it's exaggerates, of perhaps a bit. i think they, they still want to work and they still want to have a good job and they would like to live in the house. but i think that's not very parents, perhaps from the data at the moment. other part timers, meanwhile, might be very much open to increasing their hours. it's also a completely different, a choice whether you go from 24 to 26 or you go for 4232 and i think there are really different groups. and sometimes we wanna, w

the labor market in the last two decades . i did and some really special things happened this year. as you also said , the 13th people's government's employment commitment to the dear people of iran is to create 1 million jobs annually, which was achieved in 1402 as in 1401, and we were able to create jobs according to the national code and with strict supervision. done what actions are taken by different devices, by different cities, or even by each device in each city in the field of employment creation , we were able to reach this commitment. the statistics of the statistics center also show you that the year 1402 was a very bright year from the perspective of the statistics center, which is the official body for providing statistics on the labor market. the unemployment rate for the whole year 1402 reached 8, approximately 8% , which means that it has decreased by 1% compared to last year. in the whole year 1402 , this is the lowest annual unemployment rate since the revolution , and we have not had such a number until now

labor law surgery can be done, mr. afsharpour , how much do you believe that the labor law should have changes or reforms , in the name of allah , the most merciful , the most merciful? there is a lot in the economy that is involved in the determination of wages, and the law only mentions it due to livelihood and inflation , which has never been implemented due to various possible reasons, that's why we believe that article 41 of the labor law must be amended and we other components in this matter, let's see what needs to be corrected, obviously, it 's not just about the livelihood basket and inflation. there are other economic components that should be placed next to this. viewers should be mentally present. article 41 of the labor law is the same clause that states that the minimum wage must be determined annually based on the region and different industries, and i hope you will be able to see inflation and the livelihood basket. the discussion of the industry has been said, based on the industry, the wage can be det

labor system. yeah. so in the picture, the pyramid of the work system, what does it mean for a we eat for you like what is. that's a good question. i mean that is i'm not really sure what that that part of that means those are those look like middle or upper class people. i, i guess there they are. they people that are benefiting off of the backs of laborers. but i'm not sure why they're there it's phrases we eat for you. it's a good question. so the industrial workers, the world are interested in in organizing workers as all workers. all right. so one of the things that's different them in addition to their more radical whole take on society than the american federation of labor, is that they're an union. and what that in this period is that you industrial union was was contrasted with the craft unions of the american federation of labor unions would be unions made up of skilled workers in an industrial unions would be a union of every worker that industry skilled unskilled. there probably weren't reall

the meeting to determine the salary of the workers in 1403 hours ago at the ministry of labor, welfare and social security ended and the increase of the workers' salary was determined. many and long supreme labor council with the help of social partners announced the minimum wage for workers for 1403 and this agreement with a 35% increase in the minimum wage. it was approved by the supreme labor council and also the increase of the minimum wage in other wage levels by 22 plus a fixed amount of 2326 rials was approved by the supreme labor council . 1402 was 1 million 769428 rials, which increased by 35% to two. well, this year , the supreme labor council had a special feature that the right to advance payment for dear married workers, whether male or female workers , was considered by the supreme labor council, and 5 million rials of advance payment was taken into account in the wage table of the workers, and in total the minimum monthly income of married workers increased by 3.3 tenths of the rate, and the average increase of this share was 35 percent, and the minimum monthly income of

we now havec[ that was supply-se healing, particularly with growth in the labor force.self, strong foro be concerned about inflation. >> how do you assess the state of financial conditions right now, in particular do you view the kind of easing and finalco'e trying to achieve on the inflation mandate? chairman powell: there are many dier financial conditions or indicators and you can see different answers to that question. financial conditions are weighing on economic activity and we think you see that, great place to see it is in the labor market where you have seen demandooy high levels. i would point to job openings, quits, surveys, the hiringate, things like that are really demand. they are also supply-side things happening, but those are demand-side things happening. that's been a question for a while. we did see progress on inflation last year. significant progress, conditions being tighter, sometimes looser. can you give us more color on how the committee is thinking about inflation dynamics now? what we've seen at the beginning of the year, are they more one-off

key labor issues. when we need signatures or letters that support labor and he's a proud, card-carrying member of the ibew. let's give a warm union welcome to representative donald norcross. [applause] >> all right, how are we doing? we got anybody from jersey in the house? well, you know, what we say, if are not, you got a problem with that? [laughter] listen, i spent 43 years in a labor union and ibew before get job. i will tell you, it has probably been a very long time, two union rallies in one morning here in washington. let's hear it. president kelly, great to see you again. unprecedented times. i know i'm preaching to the choir. shutdowns because you don't like the way things are working? are you kidding me? decide not to go to work and not pay people? we have a problem here, folks. we got a big problem. talking with threats. the afl was at our labor caucus meeting we had at a democratic retreat. we created the labor caucus about a year ago. i never thought we would need it in the democratic par

in the labor market, in 1402, by the grace of god, we have perhaps the brightest year of the labor marketat least the last two decades. we passed the statistics. the figures confirm this proposition that i presented to you in every way, and special events really happened this year. as you also said, the employment commitment of the 13th people's government to the dear people of iran is to create 1 million jobs annually, which is the number in 1402 was the same as in 1401, and we were able to monitor closely and according to the national code and the type of jobs created by different agencies, by different cities, or even by each agency in each city, what measures were we able to take in the field of employment creation. let's reach this commitment. the statistics of the statistics center show that the year 1402 from the general center's point of view. the statistics, which is the official body providing the labor market statistics, was also a very bright year. the unemployment rate of the whole year 1402 reached 8, that is, 11 , almost decreased compared to last year. in 1402, this is the

but the overall picture really is strong labor market.t game in balance is that we saw in the early part of that pandemic. recovery had mostly

to this, because there is work in central ukraine, let's say , i don't know, well, the ministry of labor, it works, they haven't gone anywhere, but we can talk about the appearance of some new urban centers already at this moment, let's say so, which conditionally replace those urban centers that were almost lost in... these 10 years, not only donetsk, there with luhansk, but also kharkiv, which after all decreased in population, he he he decreased, he decreased, kherson definitely decreased, well, different weight categories in kharkiv and in kherson. kharkiv is a classic metropolis, and i am absolutely convinced that despite its proximity to the border, kharkiv will retain the functions of a technical capital. this does not mean, technically, a mass of factories, i am, let’s say, convinced that the tank factory should be removed from there, and it should be removed both for reasons of ensuring the integrity of this factory so that it is not destroyed, and for reasons of public safety, so that trying to destroy the kharkiv factory, they get anywhere, so it will also matter, but well...

he won people's votes through criticizing the labor party and governing officials for supporting theout from london as said puraza press tv correspondents for more on the story hello said hope you're doing well out there in the mid morning uh london what can you tell us about gallowe's fate here. good morning danny, as matter of fact, i am in rochedale, well where the by-election concluded late last night, it was feverilerish evening for the candidates, and as you said earlier, george galloway, the leader of um work britain's workers party, um, common top, winning uh, more than 12. thousand votes swinging a nearly 40% of the electorate from from labor, that was as much as the turnout that was nearly 40% as well. which of course was a sweeping landslide victory uh no doubt and the labor candidate azhar ali who was disowned by the party for his anti-israel um comments that came on the uh days before uh the by-election here was held came uh forth which is humiliating as far as the pundits and and uh analysts are concerned for the labor party and the other party is of course didn't have

we support the side let's raise a labor field with you.we want to take the livelihood basket, take the support basket. if we want to represent in the field of housing, as they say, sir , we want to give land to every household that can do the work. it means that the marginal support should be fixed so that the worker can be at that point of comfort. to do all the zones on what percentage of us. nothing special has happened to the worker, as it has been in the past few years, if you look at it, this has not happened, mr. afsharpour, regarding salary increases proportional to inflation or exactly inflation, what do you think? this is where we come to say, sir, according to inflation , it can never be done. because it is according to inflation, of course, before that, let me tell you something, at least the workers' salaries are very low, that is, when they announce 40-50 , what amount do you think will be added , nothing special will happen at all for that labor floor. we are lagging behind in the determination of anti-inflation. it has alwa

when the labor party threatened him with expulsion because of his connections to opponents of the parties witchunt against socialists and palestine campaigners is union voted to disaffiliate from the party. welcome to the show. david, what do you know about this arms company rafael and its activities in the united kingdom? so raffael is directly owned by the uh government of the state of israel, so-called state of israel, and it has a subsidiary in this country called peerson engineering, which is based in newcastle uh, and it - if you look at its website and it's activities in the uk, it talks about all these weapons it makes and the uh missile defense systems, the drone systems, etc. etc. and so it's engaged in producing the means to kill palestinians essentially uh, in newcastle, and uh, it should be, you should be shut down as a as i should all these israely armsfs? yeah, no, indeed. well, ian, um, what's your opinion of of john hutton's record then as as a minister? afternoon, chris, i mean, obviously, um, his record obviously was very much a blayer loyalist, uh, he was put in positi

once at boomtown of the industrial revolution, rochdale in northwest england has been reliably labor for years until now. this was an election that saw allegations of fraud, desperate attempts like this one by the right-wing reform party, make sure you prevent george gallaway from being your mp for and dominated by the massacre in gaza from the river to the sea, the result came hours after polls closed, hereby declare that george gallaway is a sweeping victory for veteran and... war pro-palestine campaigner who reminded everyone that the anger in britain over the gaza genocide is not confined to the muslim community only. every muslim is bitterly angry at kier starmer and his misnamed labor party, but you would be very foolish if you did not realize that millions of other citizens of our country are. rochdale is home to a 30,00 strong muslim community. apart from bread and butter issues such as the declining public services, unemployment, poverty and prime that have racked the constituency for years, for the majority of the voters here, there was more to take into account. this say a

it means that we bring the burden and pressure of it only on the labor force of our country. fund. funds to it is not correct that mr. babaei 's points were very precise points, however, the governments during all these times have a special look at the fund. some of them even had the idea that some of the funds would take the funds under their wing, the funds that don't actually have favorable conditions, now this is a type of housing that has been proposed. anyway, this housing is a housing to save. funds have caused a lot of public and social dissatisfaction. several components should be considered for it. one component: the component is that this should be optional as much as possible. it should be found that it should not be very mandatory . another point in the decree that came out is that only the component of age and work experience in terms of insurance records has not been seen in this . in the implementation of the same decree that has been made , the funds will definitely face challenges. he was healthy, it was a temporary contract , 10 days a month, his insurance

supporters, the vast majority of labor supporters want to cease fire n and labor are not delivering that. and they will pay, they will pay at the bullet box, people will not vote for them, and i hope that people will vote for candidates that are demanding peace in palestine, david, what would you advise people who are caught up in these all well well in situations like this? what happens when people are caught up in these situations usually is that they are surprised by what's happened because of course they've not done anything wrong, they're not, they're usually anti-racists, they've not been anti-semitic, and they don't understand that that this is a this is something. and they sort of think that it can go away or you can just you know try and discuss it with people and it will be fine, but it it won't be fine, this is an all out attack in this case on people from from the left, but of but usually it's on people who are palestinian or arab or muslim of origin and they deliberately target muslims for this kind of activity, you need to get advice swiftly, don't speak to anyone else
