it's really is a good or bad thing it really is speaking of good or bad things how about the labor association remember this thing it fell apart as part of facebook's attempt to launch its own digital currency that currency libra turns out may not exist at all ever in the future i've been telling you this according to a new report facebook no longer intends to make the libor token which was intended to be facebook's own crypto currency even though it's not a crypto currency instead libor will reportedly transition into supporting both existing government backed currencies like the us dollar and the euro told you that was going to happen and then eventually if and when the libor token is complete the labor association will reportedly support that. meanwhile the so-called coley wallet this is so confusing so leave us the token club libor it was the wallet that was supposed to hold the libor token that's been delayed that while that was supposed to allow anyone with a smart phone to acquire and store crypto currency and then pay for goods with it as for the labor association of which facebook was

want to export to the west are supposed to be listed with the bangladesh exporters association which in turn ensures labor and environmental standards are upheld. but the factory owner knows a workaround we simply have to sign a contract with a different company which unlike his is a member of the association it will then pass the order on to him we do that all the time he says. later we learned that the authorities have officially shut down the style house for violating environmental standards clearly to no effect since the factory continues to pollute. that internally we still have no proof that the officially shuttered factory could actually pull off that apply. workaround. but then we get a message from the di house it looks like burma business it includes the name of the other factory that were to sign a contract with. them that was called sham october garments limiters. that's the good company the one that allegedly has a certificate in europe. and sure enough the company is listed with a textile association and fulfills all the requirements for labor standards and environmental regulations on its w

and sure enough the company is listed with a textile association and fulfills all the requirements for labor standards and environmental regulations on its website we find a list of the international customers that works with. these include taco and and things family. the factory looks exemplary so we'll go for a dirty deal we asked for a quotation of 5000 pairs of pants and mention the diehards we visited in bangladesh. shock to reply saying they worked with all the any little tin and yes the dealers no problem mokhtar mood so the pants but the factory we visited will die the fabric without a functioning water treatment system and officially shut down by the authorities. at this point we break of the deal the problem has become clear. western clothing brands may say that they only work with certified companies but those companies may in turn pass on some of the work to other firms that do not observe environmental standards we can from the brands that work was shut down. all the illegal tell us they're not currently working with the company. and stings family rights we have a sworn statemen

going all the way to the finals until leading to a -- major news today when the players association approved a new laborhat would be in place for the next 10 years. the agreement calls for among other things a 17 game regular season, higher salaries, increased roster sizes, and larger pensions for current and former players. the agreement passed by a slim 60 vote margin, but 500 union members decided not to vote. that has elicited some of the following responses. wide receiver michael thomas tweeted a reference to what is now a controversial nba term. it is time for load management. this from running back josh jacobs. the cba sucks. we would assume both of those players are not among the 500 failed to vote. >> can i just -- it's so weird to think we turn on the turkey and there's nothing on when it comes to sports. >> and i will say, i've been doing this a long time. these are unprecedented times. the only parallels i can think of are after the earthquake in 89 when things were on hold but you knew things would resume and after 9/11 you knew things would come back. nothing like this. >> so we are not go

and we look at unit labor costs associated with those productivity gains, they were easing back, onlyin line the aftermath here we see that we're sitting at 60 bases points and two-year note yield, among the lowest intraday levels going back to the summer of 2016 for a two-year, ten-year note, 90 is the intra-day low in this series that, of course, was from tuesday. so we want to pay close attention. we didn't take it out yesterday. we're getting very close you also want to keep a very close eye on the other central banks. great article in "the wall street journal" today. christine lagarde and company are more put in the box by us getting in front of the coronavirus from a central banking perspective before we have any of the returns in and i think that this is going to be an on going issue. no what ter what christine lagarde says or any of the ecb members tell you, they have very little ammunition left and if monetary policy becomes the tools to try to combat a coronavirus and i understand the very weak link to the economy without any facts really being known, it is just going to mak

the after the jeremy corbyn years why do you think that this same labor party as it were is so keen to re-invite people who are associated with the iraq war back even to the party including having care stop a leading figure once tony blair's head of war propaganda alastair campbell back in the labor party is this opposition party does it understand what you've been saying well i think there are 2 things one has to see about the labor party what is the insurrection on little girl insurrection of the young country and me or bill interim our our as fracture. in my opinion and momentum became exclusively true. if not exclusively 80 percent of it through our low there mick in addition to that also doing a lot of political campaigning political education etc so that the strength of traditional live grewsome which is that the only thing we do which is win the election is now back in falls the left was given a chance the left was defeated not even going to ask him. searching for why the left was. refusing to accept then it was because labor joined him all the parliamentary moorings to prevent a referendum from being implemented

it reduces other complications associated with the laboring process.ore importantly, it's someone to bear witness, to be part of the process and to help hold medical staff accountable and to make sure that the laboring person's voice can be heard and is projected loudly, and that they get the help that they need when they need it in a timely manner. >> hospitals obviously are not doing this to be mean, they say they're putting into place these regulations in order to protect moms and newborns from contracting the coronavirus. what do you say to that? >> i mean, if a mom's partner already has corona and they're coming in together, if they live together, that mom will likely have covid. and their baby will likely be exposed already. it is not common sense to separate partners from their laboring person, because it is not going to prevent the spread of covid between those moms and those babies. and in fact, it can only increase the risks of someone laboring alone and unseen for hours, which is my greatest fear. >> am i right that this was prompted by the

know she has been meeting in recent days with representatives of the employers' association with representatives of labor groups with representatives of small or semi small and medium enterprises so there's really a push here to try to get that round table approach that germany and northern europe are so famous for and it can be criticized for being slow but once you've got people on board then theoretically implementation is more effective and politically does she have the oppositional boards or the v.a. if she has been known to to make mischief. at every opportunity where are they within this current situation i think we're seeing not only here in germany but in many different places that the far right remains quite skeptical and quite perhaps. vulnerable to fake information to fake news we've certainly seen that there's been challenges within the right wing here but also elsewhere to the messaging that's coming out from governments but otherwise the mainstream opposition absolutely. not on board as far as the need to take serious measures. milind deora chief political correspondent thank you we will s

association meeting. >> amira rose davis is a professor at pen state university in state college pennsylvania. she's working on a book, the title, can't eat a medal, the lives and laborathletes in the age of jim crow. thanks for joining us on american history tv. >> yes, thanks for having me. >> let me begin with your book, expected to be published in about a year. what have you learned so far? >> oh, so many things. i started the project asking, is there a long history of black women in sports? and i found more than i expected to find, quite frankly. there wasn't any archived labeled, this is the history of black women in sports, so i kind of had to piece it together. i got started by finding three women who played baseball in the negro leagues. they played with the men. one of the things that stuck out to me about that story was that the owner, who had brought these black women to play against the men, said he had something called the gal file, where women across the country and young girls too were were i go in to request tryouts. that

labor partisan viewpoint. i recall one time he said he thought the democratic party he had been associated with had left him. and i think in the early 1960's, he registered as a republican. >> for over 20 years, he had been speaking out on public issues, but never as a political candidate. perhaps his time had come. >> for several years and through the 1960 four election, the republican party in california was badly divided. what the party desperately needed was a man who could unite the party, someone who could end party feuds and heal party wounds, someone who could carry the republican party to victory at the polls. that someone turned out to be ronald reagan. >> but ronald reagan was not an easy man to convince. in 1940 act -- in 1948, the democrats asked him to run for congress. he refused. in 1962, republicans approached him about running for senate or state house. he refused. but this time, too many californians wanted him. he couldn't refuse. >> i have come to a decision that a short time ago i would have thought impossible for me to make, and yet i make it with no lingering doubt or hesitation. as o

the best labor markets we had in 50 years, and all the risks associated with that, everything is looking good. but the downside risks have increased, so we want to take that on board and get some insurance to make sure we keep the expansion going as we deal with this temporary virus. eventually we will get through this, but how severe is it going to be, and how long is it going to last? kathleen: the meeting was so close, and you only have so much information. i think a lot of people have concluded that this rate cut was really focused on confidence. was it confidence, or was it the stock market wanting to create -- to stand up and say we are here, to create some stability? as you know, the first reaction to the move was a big selloff in stocks. mr. bullard: that was the reaction, but ahead of the meeting, there was actually a on the fact that g7 ministers were going to meet. a buy theis was rumor, sell the news situation. a lot of people would say it probably doesn't matter that much if you make the rate cut 10 days ahead or 10 days later, and i think that is true from a macroeconomic p

overwhelmed that the department of labor is asking people to file claims on certain days of the week depending on their last name the national restaurant association predicting closures may cost between 5 to 7 million jobs the industry is asking for a $145 billion recovery fund to stay afloat. >>> and nevada is closing all of its casinos. all bets in vegas are off for at least the next 30 days >>> turning now to a tornado that's been reported in northern texas according to the national weather service. it started northeast at 35 miles per hour emergency officials in wise county confirmed there was damage to buildings in the area but no home damages have been reported >>> let's turn it over to bill karins tracking more storms for us >> dangerous morning with these storms rolling through texas a possibility of a tornado that went through the west side of abilene about an hour ago and still a tornado warning with it south of wichita falls and we'll pass north of dallas if it holds together that long heavy rain, flash flood warnings oklahoma city and tulsa. it's going to be a rough afternoon. we have blizzard conditions in portions of nebraska and por

labor says 50. so this does make for -- i didn't realize there were that many discrepancies. the bar association has addressed -- has a national american bar association has expanded their rules to allow attorneys to report without the client's consent in cases of elder abuse, to report -- the california bar association has not adopted those new rules. one thing i thought that was important in the dovetails with director mcfadden's report is that one-third of the reports of abuse are repeat. so keeping accounts, keeping the cases longer might make a difference. that's on a statewide level. we had reports from the various ps as. who were asked to make a quarterly report. areas are looking at planning events. they are surveying seniors, disaster preparedness continually comes up as i've mentioned before. some tax preparation activities in the communities. thought we would begin talking about coronavirus. one of the psas is looking to get a program which dove taled into our last presentation of the first day which was on workforce and aging. we also have a quick presentation on the ombudsman progra

labor unionism. in that sense, free market is much more closely associated and harkensulation back to laissez-faire.at 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, free enterprise was the term of choice. by maybe the 1980's, free market had overtaken it significantly. one interesting thing you say about unionism is that one of the figures i write about in my book is walter reuther, who was big user of the term "free enterprise." he was a thinker on the left side of the labor spectrum who wanted to resuscitate and redefine the term in some way in the 1950's. >> right here. walsh, grad student at winston. to build on that point, i was interested in the rear appropri

sara nelson is the president of the association of flight attendants, and she is now one of the most effective laborever worked with. the provisions that democrats have now written into that bill are designed to benefit the employees of the airlines, which in turn benefits the customers of those airlines because every time we set foot on an aircraft we are putting our lives in the hands of the people working on that airplane. and even though you have been warned not to make any non-essential flights now, every day, every night airline employees are working in those airplanes that you have been warned to stay out of. we rely on their experience to keep us safe in the air, and we rely on their bravery now more than ever. joining us now is sara nelson, the president of the association of flight attendants, which is a union representing nearly 50,000 flight attendants at 20 airlines. sara, thank you very much for joining us tonight. you got your hands on this bill as soon as it came out, as soon as it leaked from the republican lobbyists over the weekend. and you went to work on those airline provisions

so we have not moved to a place that would say make association legal, make organizing legal and what are the ways in which you can perhaps bring labor to the table to be the facilitator of those connections, be the keeper of the key, one suggestion in the book, let union be the place for summers worker identity is held. the biggest challenge in the market is how do we verify the person is not scamming me. if you registered then you can say i'm with this organization, they have my identity, they can verify it for you. the business wins, they're not having to waste their time, the worker went because they're not having their privacy invaded in the union arguably wins because it's just repressed its relevancy to the next generation of workers. >> great. >> my question is related to this, the book mentions the social organization of these workers and it seems it enables very simple outsourcing of complex tax of managers who make multimillion dollar salaries and drop and not do anything a bunch of examples, that is a huge problem, how do we value work in the face of "ghost work". >> that is the heart of the problem. you have to be a real

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, there is an enormous proportion of family farms that could not sustain themselves without the contribution of off farm labor. of someone in the household, or more than one person working off farm to bring in an income to help sustain the farm business. how many of you have someone in your family farm white was that helps bring in an income? many of you. it's important. without them, the family farm could often not survive without that income. what's interesting when we see how women talk about themselves, how other people talk about women, is how internalized it is that they might be doing this productive labor but it is not really, maybe what is their primary job or what they should be doing. and so the language that gets used typically talks about women as being more in a supportive role. as the helper. we see this over and over again, it is fascinating. we see languages, whaling in, helping, doing what needs to be done. this is how women and other people t

the best labor markets we've had in 50 years. all the rest that is associated with that.king good. the downside risks have increased. we want to take out on board. get some insurance to make sure we keep the expansion going. this virus will be temporary. we will eventually get through this. how severe is a going to be and how long is it going to last? clearly the coronavirus is the fed's focus right now. they don't know. no one knows how big the impact on u.s. economy will be. that's what is driving them right now. it's also interesting, important news out of australia today. stephen kennedy, the treasury secretary there, saying that the coronavirus is going to take 0.5% off the first quarter growth in australia. it will flow into the second quarter of the year. he's echoing what the reserve bank of australia deputy governor said the night before. they see the same figure the rba sees. interesting that scott morrison is talking about stimulus coming. this is a significant. scott morrison government has pushed back against any suggestion that maybe they could put more stim
