to answer this, i think we need to begin by imagining labor activism itself as queer labor discipline and hetero normative ity rely on similar cultural apparatuses is a similar set of values to make themselves coherent. in 19, before the foundational german sociologist max barber described those values as the protestant ethic that in which people live to work rather than work to live. central the protestant ethic are a particular cultural traits, personal responsibility, deferred gratification, sexual self-respect, restraint, just and thrift, just to name a few. those traits require one to ignore their desire for bodily pleasure in order to channel bodily capacity toward productive endeavors, for their employer. if we imagine workplace activism as being about redirecting our bodies away from what companies want and toward what people need, we open a space for us to engage age, to embrace, and to indulge our desire for love of beauty, pleasure and. doing that is what many would define as a queer practice. one that resists the foundations of heteronormative city. and that might make my

and right labor in the subject line. the survey by gallup published in august found 70% of americans approve of labor unions. in the past several years millions of workers around the country including high profile -- in the past several years millions of workers around the country include in high-profile campaigns at starbucks, amazon, wells fargo and apple stores have sought to organize. in data the bureau of labor statistics released shows union election positions were up 27% from fiscal year 20 23 year 2024. and doubling since fiscal year 2021. yet 10% of wage and salary workers or 14.4 million workers belong to unions in 2023. that's now 20 -- down 20% from 1983 according to the pls. meanwhile employers are increasingly challenging the constitutionality of the national labor relations board and its power to enforce the national labor relations act. spacex recently winning a stay in a texas court that stopped the nlrb from pursuing administrative cases for unfair labor practice. and in april the supreme court heard a

organized labor movement, he really had issues with business as usual in the labor movement.n became somewhat problematic for him as a labor leader because he did not believe people should want to make a lot of money. he believed in the unity of labor and that people should be treated well and respected and be able to earn a decent living. but they should not aspire -- it'll class was a dirty word for him. that put him at odds with a lot of the labor movement. >> that is one of the themes of your book. middle-class values were not his. miriam:is goal was to lead a social movement of poor people and to educate people to the importance of sacrifice, really, and building communities. not a traditional labor leader vision. >> cesar chavez appeared on this network in 1985 on one of our signature call-in programs. here is a little bit from that program discussing the lives of migrant workers. >> they are migratory in most cases. they are minority in most cases. all of them earning under the poverty level. most of them have not had really a chance to go to school. the average educat

this is an acute labor issue. supreme court is finally looking at protection from employment discrimination. exclude sexuality and gender identity. of course involved in the backlash. there have been so many anti- gay legislative what key issues are historians of sexuality for fronting? what issues deserve further exploration? today, to answer that, we are going to hear from four panelists, and then we will have a discussion. we are going to use our microphones and then we will have a special microphone that we will ask you to talk into. we are going to go today in alphabetical order, as they are listed in the program. alex melody burnett is a phd candidate in the joint history women's and gender studies program at the university of michigan in ann arbor. she is a historian of the u.s. that specializes in transgender history, urban history, and the history of racial capitalism. she is a board member of the committee on elegy dt history. it won a big award. she co-edited intimate states, gender, sexuality, and gove

the afl-cio is a labor representation of 60 labor unions throughout this country with a combined total. and within 24 hours after president biden stepped out of the race, our president convened a meeting of our executive council and, you know, 99% of those present unanimously supported kamala harris for president. and since then, we have been working the ground. we have the largest ground game we have ever had in the his three of the afl-cio, and we are in a very unique situation. i mean, because our process is something that no other organization, no candidate, or no party have. we have the ability to touch workers, to talk to workers at their doorsteps, but also on the job. and what we are doing is, we are talking to our members one on one. we are having discussions with them. and by no means is a labor movement monolithic, what we are doing is comparing the records of these two candidates to our members, holding those one-on-one discussions at the worksite, and we see a big shift toward harris. we see a lot of momentum with very optimistic, and you know, we was able to really move t

>> the fed is labor folk -- laser focused on the labor market. >> i think they have to go ahead with the 50 basis point cut. >> we will have a pretty messy payrolls. >> this should be clean, this might be the last clean one for a couple months. >> this is bloomberg surveillance with jonathan ferro, lisa abramowicz and annmarie hordern. >> coming into friday. pull down the strike is over. good morning, good morning. on the s&p 500 up by two tents of 1%. up by a quarter per the main event 30 minutes away paid its payrolls friday. >> thinks that risk assets to find. this would be the goldilocks nirvana. annmarie: breathing a sigh of relief. we are talking about the last week what is it going to be the following payrolls report. they are back to work after three days. >> four-day winning streak. just short of 75 on wti. the president asked a simple question. >> he was asked would he support on iranian oil facilities strike and he said we are discussing that. the president has himself to blame for the spike in crude prices yesterday which is not great ahead of a presidential election when

well, we are going to send our country's labor athletes in different fields, god willing. following this issue, we have started the selection competitions and are holding them. there are two of them our competitions are held, their selection debate is karate bank's defeats. and the wrestling competitions that have been selected, at the end of october, we are going to hold approximately 8 competitions, god willing. within the next one or two days, god willing, we will have a very high level event, and very prominent labor athletes will be present, and all the events for its holding have been planned . the society has always supported our labor sports convoys and we have the encouragement that, god willing , they will support and support the sending of this convoy, which is about 100 working sportsmen of our country. another women's karate competition was held . the most important competition is this one. it is known that it will be held in these few days, and for almost 3 years , we have been holding jedo in the women's section, and this competition is named after our marty

. >> joining us to discuss labor unions and campaign 2024 is a labor reporter for bloomberg law. welcome to the program. >> thanks for having me. >> a lot of news this week in terms of unions. workers, their tentative agreement. what does it look like and what is next? guest: it is really more of a cease fire than a tentative agreement at this point. the only thing we worked out is wages. granted, that is a big issue on the table. they agreed to a 62% increase, reportedly. that is not as high as the 77% that the union originally wanted, but it is still one of the biggest jobs we've seen in wages in the post-covid union resurgence. this buys them time until january 15 for leadership to negotiate with the port operators and importers to come up with a deal. notably it punts the issue until after the election. host: almost until right before the inauguration. guest: correct. host: let's talk about one of the big issues still to be resolved. that's the issue of automation. wanted to read this quote from "the washington post," from heather long. "it is now possi run a dockyard with al

you think i've done clerical labor? i was doing something, but when i read widely histories of clerical labor and, book labor, there is no period time where they are not contributing to the texts that they're producing. that's right. so would be oddly anomalous. and then as i tried to fill in my imagination because, i concede my imagination may not be very good. this is where i wanted to go and read other things. and in order to prove that i had some kind of basis for things that i was making up, i a whole website with real extensive notes. and so you can see this is why she's saying that. and here is where she says we have some evidence but it's not as good as we. and i did that to be transparent as i did that, i became aware of how sloppy some of the more kind of traditional history writing was. so, in fact, so many dominant about how the gospels were written depend on a series of assumptions. so the gospel of john, the fourth gospel, when i was in high school, i learned this theory, this how dominant it was. a german

we have 435 central labor councils and area labor councils in cities and communities throughout thisat was amazing was within hours after the teamsters, which are not members of the afl-cio, highly respect their process , we greatly respect their process and respect the teamsters as a union. within hours after the teamsters decided not to do an endorsement, there was a significant shift toward harris and walz campaign by local unions throughout the country of the teamsters, some of the largest local unions. and also by the entire black caucus. that is because of our ability to have local federations, local bodies with a lot of unions like the teamsters are members of. we are able to deliver messages that resonate to those local unions in their communities. >> fred, we appreciate your shedding light on this. fred redmond is the secretary- treasurer of the afl-cio . thanks for being with us tonight. >>> still ahead, this year, one democrat has a chance to do something no democrat has accomplished since 1994, win a statewide race in texas. i will talk to colin allred, the democratic con

but, at the end of the day, it is about labor, labor, and labor. sonali: for his take on the jobs numbers today and the inflation print we are joined by mike con the director at bernstein advisors. you saw the web stop, up and then after the inflation print right back down. what is more important? mike: i agree that jobs are more important to the fed but jobs aren't bad. claims data was weaker today certainly. but over all the jobs picture is healthy. i am not sure if either are that much of a concern at the moment. sonali: at what point does it become a concern? is there a scenario when the fed would have to deal with sticky inflation and weakening labor at the same time? mark: i don't -- mike: i don't buy into the fact that labor is weakening much, frankly. we have a healthy job market. i think the fed is confusing cause and effect with having tight monetary policy and restrictive monetary policy with really a coincident. -- coincidence. i don't think the fed funds rate up where it is today is causing employment to accelerate. i think it is a nor

from the fifth grade, labor lessons include a module on labor engineering. first, the children assemble simple construction sets, and then programming is introduced into the educational process in the seventh grade. schoolchildren learn to assemble robots like these and work on a 3d printer. for some, this is a good start to continue their education in pre-professional classes. one of them is currently studying at an it training ground, where future programmers are improving the skills they acquired in technology classes. the last school year marked the beginning of systematic patriotic education of schoolchildren, which involves raising the flag to the national anthem and talking about important things. this year not only continued the established trend, but also added lessons that will be useful to children in adulthood. the long-awaited change is scheduled for next september, a history lesson for middle and high school. all schools in the country will teach according to a single textbook, with maps of the current borders of russia and the names of people

so why did why did frederick douglass not rise up against the beginnings of convict labor? one really important answer is that there was no way to know from the perspective of especially the mid-19th century, what convict labor was going to turn into. there was no way to know that. there was no way to imagine mass racialized incarceration when black people were disproportionately incarcerated in the auburn state prison during freeman's lifetime. but actual numbers were very small or were relatively small, and there were people who were upset about it at the time, and there were people who were critiquing that at the time. but there was no way to imagine hundred and 50 years into the future, with mass racialized in conservation. so that's so so that that absence of clairvoyance on anybody's part. i'm certainly not clairvoyant and they weren't either that they were embedded in their own moment and they were embedded in the same rising capitalism, the same economic structures as everybody else. so his is family and his community was very mixed. but but i think what i just want

donald trump is no friend to labor. he is no friend to labor.ve got to listen to what he says that famous saying, listen when people tell you who they are. in fact, can we roll the clip? >> i used to hate to pay overtime. i shouldn't tell you this. i would go out and get other people and let them work regular time. >> they build everything in germany and then they assemble it here. they get away with murder. they don't build cars. they take them out of a box and assemble them. we could have our child do it. they say, that's okay. you're all gone. the united auto workers ought to be ashamed for allowing this to happen. and the leader of the united autoworkers should be fired immediately. >> right? right. so of course, that last bit, he was talking about the person representing nearly a million active and retired autoworkers. so that's about a million autoworkers, active and retired. donald trump, listen to his words. he's saying that autoworkers are essentially engaged in child's play. that children could do it. listen to what he says. i'm tellin

labor force participation, 62.7%. on labor force participation, as well.ing down through some of the other numbers again that rate 4.1%, but the factory jobs that ising manufacturing, negative 7,000. government jobs 31,000 to if upside we don't get an estimate for government jobs. remember. built hourly earnings, worker hours when they give you average -- worker hours 4.2. that is just a tad slightly less than expected, let me dig into the report see what government is saying about where at least job creation was in particular because we are getting a big upside on this, number. employment trended up in -- food services, drinking places. healthcare. government, social assistance and construction the top line report i will start going through it sending back to you. maria: are a back in a second, ely, good news is once again good news. up 131 on much up 1229 nasdaq better-than-expected jobs' report the why are markets rallying? because good news is once again good news, as opposed to bad news, being good news because it leads to federal reserve interest rat

labor market.re is the bond market story, two-year, 10-year, 30-year, the two year, 3.62, the 10-year, 3.76. lisa: that might be the most interesting aspect of yesterday, the fact it was risk off because of jobs data, and then you had what happened in the middle east and that continue to turbocharge. the fact that bonds were considered a safe haven was notable to a lot of people. at a time when that was not the case so long ago. that is actually something to watch. how much are bonds still the equilibrium? jonathan: yesterday morning, the data dropped at the same time we got reports about de-escalation in the middle east after being asleep for the whole of september and we will leave that behind into the rally, up by more than 3% on wti, and hbc cutting its forecast by 8% to $70. this market is being very, very focused on that one issue of supply. lisa: that is because that has been the issue that has driven pricing. you bet on geopolitics and potential disruption, and you failed because that is no

i want to shift over to the topic of organized labor. the international longshoremen's association strike from earlier this month ended relatively quickly and painlessly, but if it had gone on for longer, it was clear that there could have been serious repercussions for american consumers. so mohamed, i'll start with you on this. do you think that there needs to be any sort of reconsideration of how much power unions hold in situations like this? unions are crucial for democracy. they are the balancing we need to make sure the people have power and workplace organizing is crucial for a healthy democracy. organizing in general is, but particularly workplace organizing. there was a wonderful op ed today in the star-ledger that i hope everyone will read by hetty rosenstein in. it outlines precisely why my opponent is terrible on labor. he has fought against osha safety requirements. he's fought against the minimum wage. he's cut the retirement benefits to law enforcement and to teachers. when he was in the state senate. he has fought agains

working to end forced labor in prisons in new york state. they get. oh, yes, they do get paid, but they get paid in new york state by the way, there are plenty of incarcerated people in the united states who get paid nothing, who are forced to labor and get paid nothing. and that is true in many, many states in new york state, people in prisons are paid for their work, but they are vastly underpaid. so they get paid, for example, the men who make license in the in auburn today, they get paid $0.65 an hour. so this not a living wage. and we need to remember that william freeman wanted wages, but he also wanted fair wages and that is not what we have in new york state today. and again, this is what the bill about fairness and opportunity. this is exactly what that bill is all about. so 13 forward, please and convict labor in new york state. we have to stop soon. but you make a point in the book of about that even the 1840s there were states that paid prisoners and new york was not one of them. and indeed when when he left after five years, the

still forced labor andhe that's why the work is so important. they are working to end forced labor in prisons in new york city. >> they do get paid but they get paid in new york state. they are plenty of incarcerated people in nine states who get paid nothing and it's forced labor and they get paid nothing and that's true in many states. in new york state people in prisons are paid for their work but they are vastly underpaid. for example the men who make license plates and auburn today to get paid 65 cents an hour. this is not a living wage only need to remember that william freeman wanted wages but he also wanted fair wages and that's not what we have in new york city today and this is an opportunity and this is exactly what that bill is all about. to add convict labor new york state. >> you make a point in the book talking about in 1840s there were states that paid prisoners. indeed when he left after five years they gave him $2. and you'd talk about the kind of social pressure to produce that kind of modest compensation. the prisoners. we sh

the asia is one of the largest suppliers of labor to the global fishing industrial. i've come to the capital into carfax, to meet the 25 year old christian johnson. from 2018, he worked for almost 2 years as a decade on a chinese squids vessel called v. u. 85 to reach you is fine to thank you for coming. his experience on board the ship was so hiring that he never wants to work in fishing again. one of his meals on work, somebody wanting to see them disability. hello, my son. let me know all i need to get there to go see a and up and buggy and abuse at the law. obviously, do not get them in unity. i load the only thing i think it was indeed he was all over the bus. so again, we'll see if we can uh do need to call him somebody could do to help while i'm waiting for them to begin with him. he says frequent beeping schemes without wanting you to, i'm guessing once you know they go through them through some work in the city, going to get a couple of the young couple of people. i it'd be not down to the level by split the 2 but with the promise monthly salary of $300.00 j

. >> joining us now to discuss labor unions is a labor reporter for bloomberg law. welcome to the program. >> thanks for having me. >> a lot of news this week in terms of unions. let's start with the deal of the port workers. >> it's really more of a cease-fire than a tentative agreement at this point. the only thing they have worked out his wages. granted that is a big issue on the table. they have agreed to a 62% increase. that's not quite as high as the 77% the union originally wanted but it is still one of the biggest jumps in wages we have seen in this post-covid union resurgence and basically this buys them time until january 15 for leadership to negotiate with the port operators and the importers to come up with a deal and noticeably does punch the issue until after the election. >> until right before the inauguration. let's talk about one of the big issues that is still to be resolved and that is the issue of automation. wanted to redo this quote from the washington post from heather long. she says it'now possible to run a dockyard with almost no humans pre

tradition, so there there was a labor zionist ethos there, and that of course is slowly being replacedu which we see today and that that revisionist takeover of the paper is relatively recent i mean through through paul stephen paul and then well simons who didn't seem like he was as much of an extremist as he's turned out to be and that of course is part of the reason why these all these columers have left because they're much more associated with the revision sign sorry with the labor tradition and with killing palestinans in the slower way out of the vision of the of the... world's press, so there's that division which is there, and if you look at the editors of the jewish chronacle over over all of the years, they've tended to be much more sympathetic to - to laborers kind of of position, and that's of course is what's changed in the last 20 or so years with the chronicle, interesting, well nasa, the the jewish chronicles reportage has been subjected to numerous lawsuits and and complaints in recent years, hasn't it? yeah, this is especially during the the jeremy corbin when jeremy

freeman resisted his forced labor from the start.e was taken a lot of different ways it was working as little as possible right reducing his productivity and resisted by clowning around which came with numerous physical risk. he made other people laugh this was a very risky but humanizing thing to do. he also resisted by telling the guards point blank that he did not want to work. he felt it was unfair he was being forced to work as he put it for nothing. he demanded wages. his claim was simple but challenged auburn's defining idea he insisted he was not a machine, not a slave but instead a citizen with the rights, a worker. upon his release from prison he pursued his claims through legal means he appealed to magistrates who mocked and dismissed him. and then william freedman turned to violence. he committed quadruple murder that terrified andd bewildered. ensued ande trial got very vague, very fast it made national headlines. one of the reasons why it got so big so fast was that william henry stewart was then best known as the gover

that organized labor used to be very strongly tied to the democratic party. particularly because of franklin roosevelt and the signing of the national labor relations act and so on. but over time it has eroded. culture forces do play a role, partly because the economic union became weaker and they were not able to protect these jobs. there was backlash against that as well. but i think, you know, like anything, it is all over the map. there is not one clear answer. people that tend to be tied to the uaw still tend to be more democratic. but as most people probably know, the teamsters have declined to endorse, despite president biden saving their pension plan and so on. there has been a decoupling in particular because of trump's advanced rhetoric around being pro-worker. that has perhaps played a role and their emphasis on, you know, mitt romney for example, the previous republican nominee was ceo of bank capital. which was responsible for some of these closings across the midwest. president obama ran against him partly on that record of industrialization. he

supply labor capacity so good. gain where we see. looks a lot like a pandemic year report 78,000, leasher and hospitality. 17,000 health care and social assistance, in my book like 150,000 or biggest part of it. construction also up 25. specialty trade contractors the big deal there that may have to do with the government programs for infrastructure i don't know about you guys. when i drive around here all i see is construction auralll oveh new york city area part of it the story for the fed here is, if you have the labor supply to meet the labor demand, that is not inflationary now, you did have a pop in wages. see how long that lasts. the story is one of looking at inflation and to use a word i think the fed chair used, recalibrating. recalibrating the funds rate to where the inflation rate is. that's why -- rates should still continue to come down, but as rick pointed out, not in 50 basis-point increments. >> can i just ask. looking at this without knowing impact from hurricane helene just had someone on-set wit

heyday of modern labor.ut it was different then. things could only get better, it was trying to save, and lots of opportunities. continually talking in fashion and talking to recession just doesn't seem very wise. >> that is an interesting term because we saw numbers from next today. it feels like we've had a steady stream of earnings from high street retailers where they're benefitting from pause of sentiment out there. consumers are still buying things. changing their behavior, but the reality is, they're still buying what they can, where they can. does that change, where we're talking about some sort of pressure that's coming on the labor market. without an industry cut, maybe that helps out at the margin, v.a.t., tensions going up. we're talking about whether businesses take a tougher line thanks to the budget. does it get harder on the high street? >> you got to imagine, it must get harder and you see it's happening in europe. with european specific issues but half of europe is going into recession at s

he appointed an extremely right-wing anti-labor secretary of labor am merchandise we've got to make that clear but equally important and it is no great secret for many, many years -- biden being the exception, by the way. biden has been very, very strong on labor issues. but we have got to make it clear and i speak as an independent who caucuses with democrats, which side we are on. and the side we are on has got to be taking on big money, standing up for working families. >> and i hear what you say about the working class writ large but the reality is joe biden saved the teamsters pension fund to the tune of $36 billion, which amounts to roughly $100,000 per pension. this is a man who walked the picket line in a way that no other american president in modern history that done. joe biden is still only getting 50% of union support, and it still sort of begs the question is it something else? is it actually independent of joe biden's record? i'm going to take harris out of the equation here given joe biden was only getting 50% of their report. go ahead. >> the polling that i have seen sugg

labor didn't raise taxes. labor didn't cause all this inflation.was done by the government, you know? so blame the government or blame the democrats who were running the government. of course, in the '70s it was both republicans and democrats who are inflationary. blame inflation, not the work worse. -- work force. they're just trying to survive. i think you see labor unrest break out in a bunch of places, i don't think it's because they're mean or the work force hates america, i think they're trying to survive. but they can't when prices rise faster than wages, senator. >> no, that's exactly right. and so whether you're someone who's worried about the strike, you should lay the blame appropriately at the biden-harris administration and their failed policies. and if you're part of organized labor, then you should vote for trump-vance and not, not harris-walz. because you'll get more of these same kinds of policies with them. that's why the republican party, it should be the appropriate home for organized labor. larry: yeah. senator, donald trump sp

you are fair weather friend of labor and there are many republicans who are much stronger labor than you are. >> would you like the 30 seconds to respond? >> the interest of the people that are literally building our economy and protecting our communities are bipartisan. they are not republican and democrat cultures. people, when you look at the carpenters and the other members , the police officers know that to a person you support me. looking at the firefighters, they'll support me because they know i have their back. that we will find those solutions as i did just this past year when joe biden signed my bill into law to push the grant across the finish line to make sure the firefighters were protected. that is what we need to do whether republican or democrat. >> congressman, sign on to the proactive. >> joy, we will go back to you. >> the new jersey minimum wage hit $15.30 earlier this year. the federal minimum wage is just at $7.35. you support raising them federal minimum wage and how high do you think it should be? >> absolutely. we have to tied to cost-of-living. my opponent

labor unrest, strikes.g, you know beneath the curve of terms of inflation that happens with the boughts of inflation, you remember, i remember, what happened in 1970s, you had all sorts of strikes because unions were so upset about 9 or 11% unemployment. even if they got 8% up cites increase in salaries, i agree, root cause of this is joe biden took an inflation rate to 9%. now, here is where i may disagree a little bit. i was talking with a good friend art laffer today reminding me ronald reagan of president he fired air traffic controllers, and against his -- what was in his own political interest. air traffic controller association had endorsed reagan, he did it fo it -- for good of country there is a taft-hartley bill that says if you are an essential worker to commerce of country. you need to be on the job. larry: a wrong example it is different. >> i'm saying -- they can't shut down the whole economy. larry: it may go a bunch of days, ronald reagan a great conservative icon, i agree. i was in the gove
