union kill the herald tribune? the issue wasn't really wages or cost of labor. would have closed. there is no way to let the unions off the hook as the ones who put the knife to its throat. who pulled the knife? they did. the new york times and daily news prospered even as the herald tribune expired. we asked richard gill why. here was a shifting of both the business demand curves and the union-determined supply curve in the newspaper industry. for a prosperous paper its situation before the settlements would appear like this. its demand curve is strongly affected by the printers' productivity. the supply curve is really the union-determined wage. we have equilibrium at this wage with this number of printers. now two things happen. unions demanded higher wages. so the supply curve of labor shifted up here. but also the times introduced more highly automated typesetting machinery. this greatly raised the productivity of printers. since the demand curve for labor reflects printers' productivity, the new demand curve might look like this. here's the final situation

2012 we spent nearly $160 million in taxpayer dollars and almost 2.5 million hours working for labor unions while technically on the job. look at the plight of the american taxpayer more. >> and this is not an insignificant consent amount of time. 2.5 million hours. work hours, spent on union activity by federal workers. is that right? >> well, it might be right, but these contracts were signed off dating back to both bushes and reagan, but what's in the report, this is not union activity in the realm of recruitment or organizing. this has to do with grievances, about work conditions and other things like that and negotiations. so if congress doesn't like that, then they've got to come up with a better system and account system, but this official time is what it's all about. >> steve, i don't care what congress cares about. i care what the taxpayers care about and i care about my tax dollars going for this union activity. >> it shouldn't happen, and they say only $160 million out of a multi-trillion budget. like credit charges, they add up and you get a huge tax bill from washington, d.c. i

we want them to start putting more people from the community from community organizations from labor unions, from elected officials who represent low-income communities on the federal reserve to be influencing the plmonetary poli. that's sort of the reason that we're going to talk to her. obviously it is spurred for me in philadelphia by the fact that plosser is stepping down and that they're currentsly working to find a replacement for him. >> i gather what happens here is that the boards of the federal reserve banks made up of nine people, three of whom are bankers, six of whom are non-bankers, they then select the presidents of the various regional banks. i guess what you're calling for is that those six non-bankers on those regional boards be better representative of the community from which they come. right now i gather of the 72 non-bank positions on the federal reserve boards across the country, only something like eight are not really basically out of the executive or banking community one way or another. >> right. i think there are two that represent different labor organizations a
