free trade actually bring more jobs to america or is only going to hurt them and a lot of the labor unions out there are claiming and if that's the case then why is congress doing that instead of passing jobs bills right here at home or discuss this with these at harrison founder of the blog right write downs or thanks so much for joining us tonight for starters like i said these bills have been lying kind of dormant since the bush administration when the bill that the agreements and then suddenly we know that we have a state dinner with south korea happening and so the biggest rush to push it through do you think we would you call that you know i think there's a political it's all this the fact is is that you know the president wanted to show that he's doing something you know jobs the jobs bill didn't make it through so the free trade agreement can make it through and if you're a moderate independent then you look at this is a positive net positive it shows that the president is doing something for the economy but at the same time he's doing this against the will of many of the labor uni

something for the economy but at the same time he's doing this against the will of many of the labor unions that are his biggest supporters that are his biggest donors and against the will of many of the people in his own party so i'm just i'm just not quite sure how smart that is anymore. for him in general because basically his his has been. you know i have my. i'm not going to upset the base too much but i really have to move towards the center and that means that i will take positions that will get me all these independent voters and so if the labor unions don't want this you know i'll just go vote for me anyway because i like this person act but i think that he's the a lot of the time you know for the base when it comes to the democrats because they just assume you're given so scared of the other guy that you're still going to come out and vote but let's talk about these actual agreements i mean there are of course benefits to free trade right specially in a long long run if you want to talk about growth if you want to talk about exports but he's selling this like a jobs bill is it act

like common sense solutions right after all obamacare is evil i heard on fox so-called news and labor unions are corrupt we all need to be able to talk back to their boss anyway and why should there be frivolous lawsuits or burdensome regulations and what's wrong with simplifying the tax code of course once you dig a little deeper. you realize that these policies are organized to only benefit the top one percent repealing so-called obamacare will allow for profit health insurance executives who reside in the top one percent to continue on with their death panels and continue making money off the nine children with preexisting conditions health care and abolishing labor unions will allow c.e.o.'s in the top one percent to keep making paychecks five hundred to five thousand times greater than their workers and keep offshoring american jobs to jack up their own profits and reducing so-called frivolous lawsuits will protect ones one percenters like the koch brothers from having to compensate families of people who die with one of their pipelines blow up or there's downstream cancer causing pollu

a principle i have always held, and it is one i have had reflected in our relationship with the labor union. we do it with our labor friends. we do it with their apprenticeship progrs. and while we have a pre- apprentice at the -- pre- apprentice ship program if we have an apprenticeship program. that apprentice ship program has been one in that opportunity to work with. the local labor unions have always found a way to work with the city. they have found it this way, and working with us and freeing up their resources to help establish a mission neighborhood district center and having a nonprofit host their pre-apprenticeship program, they are providing financial resources as well as their apprenticeships rules directed program. we have done this the right way. i know everyone put a lot of valuable time into making this sunrise and putting all the funding together with the various departments coming together. what we have in store will cover 175 blocks in the city. the most gritty, i get the most sensitive ones that are commercial -- the most ready, yet the most sensitive ones that are comm

what do you think about the labor union offering support? >> honestly, yesterday i needed to hear we got a lot of people on our side. it is just about the working class people of the world i mean, to make the world a better place. >> reporter: okay very good. ian can you also tell me what you think about the city trying to limit how many people you have down here? >> i think that what they are doing right now is not bargaining in good faith. think that the initial offer was so far removed from what other cities have done in washington, d.c. and philadelphia and boston and the other places. the fact they are not willing to consider accommodating overnight stay. it violates the nature of what a sit-in is which is people sitting in. and this is a essential part of the american democratic process. they have been part of protests going back to the 1800s. and i think that you know it should still be here row know. >> reporter: all right. and why are you out here? >> we are here as a way to voice frustration for all the people who have -- they feel

i would say that the mine workers' union, for example, a biracial union, that had a huge impact on american labor history, was largely a southern union for much of its history. now, what do unions offer us today? i think one thing that unions can do is try to address this growing imbalance in income inequality in the country. where we've seen the top 1% take an increasing share of the growth and productivity that workers and labor helps to create. i think one of the things we have to find a way to do is to lift the incomes of working people in this country. incomes that have been stagnant now for the most part, for almost 30 years. unless we do that, it's hard for me to think we can have a sustainable economy going forward. >> professor, it strikes me, what you were just saying, what jimmy was say welcome is this us and them, as dylan was talking about, but yet in wisconsin, the governor there was counting on that when he attacked labor unions. and yet the backlash was such that i think people remembered why labor unions are important. and i think you saw how powerfully people coming together to

labor unions or trade makes an actual steve go ahead steve. what an extraordinary. year let's remember one simple fact right in the united states today in the private sector that dominates our economy six point nine percent of workers are represented by a trade union ninety three and point one percent of our working class in the private sector has no union to explain government policy based on the union movement as tiny and powerless as this is a fantasy. now as the forces of libya's new rulers continue their siege of the two remaining gadhafi strongholds we spoke to an eyewitness a woman from tripoli who asked that we call her was in bani walid a day ago and speaking in a low voice in fear for her life she said the former rebels care little about the well being of civilians. lies from the rebels i believe clinton. cullinan key words would be actually how they chose the man. just because he supported kill gadhafi because if you want the second you're talking keep the bullies to langley the green flag is just. the charge if you believe these people are suffering due.

we are going to go through two cycles of renegotiation of labor agreements between trade unions and the contract the community, signatory contractors. with that, there is a potential for labor disruption. also, the union and non-union shops working side by side. deliveries of materials that have the potential for disruptions. the pla says all of those work stoppages aside, which is important to us as we try to maintain our overall schedule and we have significant costs that we realize that we are subject to delays. also, we are going to have 50 or 60 trade subcontracts on this contract and about 250 total subcontractors working over 4.5 million hours of labor on this job, so there is just a lot of activity -- two or sometimes three shifts of work. what we call stacking of trades. multiple contractors working in the same area at the same time, and all of that increases the potential for disputes between trades. some of the benefits of the pla -- as we mentioned, it reduces the risk of those types of

working poor the other two tools by the way we're destroying the governmental protections that keep labor unions viable because unions generally kept non-citizens out of the workplace and promoting free trade deals that export manufacturing jobs the fact is that we've had an open border with mexico for centuries since we were founded and illegal immigration was never a serious problem. before reagan's presidency it was estimated that about a million people a year came into the u.s. mexico and pretty much a million people a year left the u.s. for mexico at the end of the agricultural harvest season very few stayed because there weren't jobs for non-citizens did not have access to the non agricultural u.s. job market in large part because the power of u.s. labor unions and because companies were unwilling to risk having non-tax adoptable labor expenses on their books by hiring undocumented workers about real valid social security numbers that reagan put in and all that is nine hundred eighty six amnesty program combined with his aggressive war on organized labor in effect told both employers and n

this time, i think it is fair to say the labor unions will spend a lot more because that was before polling, that was before the national labor relations board -- before boeing. obama as second biggest advantage is money. there is a wide-open gop nomination. that is important to obama's strategy. other republican candidates are less well known than any republican elected president in our lifetime. even mitt romney is less well- known than anybody we've elected in our lifetime. as we will see in a minute, that it's into obama's strategy. all of them have significant issues. but let's face it, that's always the case. everybody who has run for president, particularly was not very well known when they started, has significant issues. finally, obama has another big advantage to go with his money and that is no primary. one of the frequent precursors of an incumbent president losing is a serious challenge in the primary. look at lyndon johnson in 1968, jimmy carter in 1980, george bush in 1992. the last three presidents who either got defeated or did not run for reelection was because they had pa

would like to reports todayp on the pla we have negotiated with the local labor unions. the project labor agreements are fairly common for major capital projects or capital programs. a little more common in the public sector than the private sector, but that is primarily because private sector employers can make the decision to the -- to go union only if they want to to forgo some of the disruptions that maria described. the pla sets out common workplace rules, labor rules, pay rates for the project. sets out the general terms and conditions of employment, hiring, referral process is -- processes, and other conditions of employment that will go into in detail. on a project of our size and duration, pla's are particularly beneficial because of the complexity of the program. she mentioned work stoppages with our construction. we are going to go through two cycles of renegotiation of labor agreements between trade unions and the contract the community, signatory contractors. with that, there is a potential for labor disruption. also, the union and non-union shops working sid
