in orders reduced the need for workers, leading to the end of large-scale strikes and putting labor unionsa quagmire. >> all this just as the economy was expanding. but what did the people gain, and what did they lose. after two years of coverage, this episode seeks to answer these questions. >>> since 1998, cambodia has enjoyed strong economic growth. the garment industry has been a driving force behind the economic boom with clothing manufactured here comprising 80% of exports. two years ago, we reported on the rapid increase in foreign factories and the cambodians who work at them. loaded trucks take workers to their factories. at the time, cambodia was experiencing further change with the monetary economy reaching rural parts. demands for higher wages began to emerge and labor strikes started occurring. >> most strikes were small, though, and usually ended in talks with the factory owners. the southwest of pnom penh, a place where citizens and authorities clashed violently on january 3rd, 2014. striking workers seeking better wages joined forces with demonstrators opposing the governme

labor union money is even worse because with the labor unions first spending money from people who don't want to be contributing more be members of the union and therefore still contribute to the labor union which contributes for those purposes against their will. their is a serious dark money problem. this serious problem with all the wealth that goes into these campaigns, but it is a problem of the system, not democrats republicans and put people on a more liberal side like to say if republicans were just seen that would end the problem. yar absolutely right it comes from both sides. >> from rhode island. don't think she is here. anymore? we will move into an. >> probably covered by snow. >> en in phoenix is not covered by snow. go ahead. >> thanks for taking my call. i am happy to talk to you. it was a really great panel. i just noticed i have two points now the air the last caller talked about the emphasis on dark money being referred to as republican which of course you are calling for much university or speaking at a university and i guess there's a bias that most universities. my

after decades of decline, america's labor unions are in a sorry state. n membership has plunged from a peak of 35%over the labor force to just 11% today. that translates to fewer than 15 million union workers out of a total u.s. labor force of 131 million workers. more than three decades of decline in manufacturing jobs, and the failure of unions to penetrate factories in south have contributed to the decline. almost half all of union workers today have jobs in the public sector. they are the kind of jobs paid for by local and state governments, but lawmakers have rolled back union influence through so-called right to work legislation. this and other moves against unions are motivated in part by states eager to attract employers, slash budgets, and in part by an idealogical threat to unions. according to the labor department, union members earn weekly pay of $970, median. compare to that to what non-union workers get. median pay of $763 a week, and you see what unions have managed to achieve. even so they are increasingly losing their relevance. unions de

currently 95% of elections occur within two months and unions win more than 60% of them. the national labor relations board should be focused on maintaining fair union representation elections backed by long-standing precedent, not upending a long-standing carefully tailored process for elections that provide fundamental protections to all stakeholders. workers, unions and employers. this congressional review act joint resolution is an important step in congress exercising its oversight role to ensure that independent agencies and the executive branch do not step on vital protections for hardworking americans. i strongly commend this rule and the underlying resolutions to my colleagues to their support. i yield back the balance of my time and i move the previous question on the resolution. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from north carolina yields back. the question is on ordering the previous question on the resolution. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. mr. polis: mr. speaker. on that i request the yeas and nays. the speaker

agencies in san francisco have dragged their feet on it, have outsourced a lot when we could be hiring union labor. and we of course want you to continue that partnership with clean power sf because we're looking at upwards of 9,000, 10,000 jobs. it's vital that we make sure that those jobs are union jobs and as many of them as possible are local jobs. so let's take this as sort of a next step towards that even-bigger project, making sure that we really maximize union labor on that clean power, much larger clean power sf project. we can do that, one way we can do that is to make sure that we launch the local build out of clean power sf just as fast as we launch the program itself. we need to make sure that these are working together and what will really maximize the jobs for especially unions like the labor local 261 sheetmetal workers and others is to make sure we have very robust energy efficiency and solar and other what's called behind the meter resources put on homes and businesses in san francisco. that's where we're going to maximize jobs and it's where we're going to maximize local jobs. t

reagan demonstrated to the country and labor unions that if he said something, he meant it and he was going to do it. >> one thing clear from cpac is foreign policy is front and center. you had rick perry get up there and he spent the first couple of minutes of his speak speaking about foreign policy. this was a strong economic story. he decided, no, i'm going to talk about being aggressive against isis, and i think it's a difficult situation because we're in a really fast-moving complex foreign policy situation and i think for candidates, you don't want to lay out a strong position and have it look completely different a month from now. >> it gives them a chance to attack hillary clinton, too. >> she was a frequent target as was the president's strategy against isis. what does it tell us about chris christie. chris christie who's been struggli struggling, listen to him here when he responds to if jeb bush is the front-runner. >> the elites in washington who make back room deals decide who the president is going to be, he's the front-runner. if the people of the united states decide t

so and we are also reaching out to the labor unions and the labor communities and the building trade and they are really concerned about union jobs, local jobs, california jobs, things like that. and this gets the heart of this is the not to exceed rate which we already know and the staff acknowledged in last week's or this week's sf puc hearing, we know what that rate is. it's the same and the pg & e brown power rate and it's essential that we set up the process in the not to exceed rate and ask the sf puc staff and sf puc to send it to the rate fairness board right now, not in may, but right now because then we have and then get the sf puc and board to adopt that as soon as possible because then we can take that to the community and say, this is it. it's on paper. this is the rate. right now we are only hearing it verbably in hearings and it's not good enough and for the jobs piece, we need this timeline and it's not in there and we need this is to start out sooner and we need another rate set. >> commissioners, jed holsman. i want to thank the sf puc staff. we were at the hearing o

my dad walt disney and sam would it was the famous direct direct the time and also a number of labor union officials felt hollywood was actually controlled. the reason they felt it is a book is that there was dominated. bill trumbull, who i mentioned was writing the screenwriter. that was the flagship publication of the screenwriters guild. he turned it basically into a communist rag. i had a chapter in my book about the screenwriter and all of that. the communist writers in hollywood and all of that. they damage the reputations of people. you can hear someone talk about how you can have john howard ross head of the communist party of hollywood. that was the kind of stuff that was fair. and then, gordon cons, demand chain editor was our next-door neighbor in beverly hills. my dad would come home from the studios and they would beat to the other love. my dad had some sort of funny comments when he actually testified in 1947. he said the dogs get along fine. but this will not help neighborly relations. that is what he says and it didn't help neighborly relations. i remember his talking to me

union election rules haven't been updated since the 1970's. the national labor relations board or nlrb is trying to bring union election rules into the 21st century but today's senate resolution will block the nlrb's commonsense updates. the right to organize is a crucial part of our democracy. unions have helped build the middle class in hawaii and nationwide. it's disappointing that instead of working to create jobs or help the middle class get ahead, today we're debating whether to make it harder to join a union. workers wishing to join a union already face many barriers. for example companies have significant opportunity to make their case to employees about why they should oppose a union. meanwhile, unions are not allowed to visit the work site to make their case for joining a union. and they do not have access to modern contact information like emails and cell phones, unbelievable as that may sound to contact workers. in addition companies can delay union elections with what amounts to frivolous litigation and appeal after appeal. nationwide in contested c

>> obviously you got to include labor and we engaged the electrical union ibew was involved they were involved in the monthly meetings and we've prioritized good local and union jobs but we haven't set requirements for that our own staff is very small and i think everybody in this room knows but just to clarify the staff of the program can be light we're essentially purchasing power and in our case paying third parties to administer programs you may administer them yourself and the staff is small we have 9 people today and will grow to 15 or 20 over time but we do sit down with the electrical union and building trades and talk about projects we've signed 70 me megawatts of solar and made that a priority when we don't do union in our local area we're we're doing living wage and that's important to us. we have tried -- this is another area where we try not to have too many ridged rules too early and that's a hard thing to do because there's a lot of pressure from all sides to come to some really specific conclusions right out of the gate but we try to reup that conversation every time a

[applause] you know, this is one of those important issues that is not just for labor union members. this is an important issue for everybody who works, because if there is not a balance of power in the workplace everybody will suffer. so, we have to get our economy to reflect the reality of 21st-century america. and we are not doing that. we are not doing that when the hard work of women and men across our country is not rewarded with rising wages, but ceo pay goes up and up, no matter what. it is not happening in the biggest corporations can exploit tax havens overseas, but small businesses are held back by outdated red tape. it is not happening when workers have to jump from job to job in a dynamic market, but often have to leave the benefits they have earned behind. it is not happening when so many young people worry that, no matter how much education they get, no matter how hard they work, they won't able to afford -- be able to afford to pay for college, or the middle class lifestyle that their parents and grandparents enjoyed. across our country americans feel the ground shift

many workers in the sectors belong to the labor union. a large number are part-time employees. union officials say they've been able to negotiate higher hourly pay rates for them. part-time workers at ten companies want an average hourly wage hike of 22 cents, that's five cents higher than the increase that they got last year. many managers at small and medium-size companies say they need to take a look at the situation carefully before deciding whether to raise wages. >>> let's check the markets you now. tokyo investors saw the nikkei hit 19,500 yesterday, the high ever level in about 15 years. today profit-taking kicked in. market players also offloaded shares and exporters as the yen gained ground. as a result, the benchmark index closed down about.-4%, 1,947. traders welcomed an announcement from the u.s. fed, policymakers there suggested they're in no rush to you introduce a rate hike. >>> hong kong closed higher back to nearly 1.5% there. and shanghai rose for the seventh day in a row. hit a fresh seven-year high closing up over .1%. sydney made the biggest gain in five we

skylark's labor union was demanding an average raise of about $88 per month for regular employees. now the wage hike includes a base pay increase, as well as a raise based on seniority and length of service. sources say skylark officials told union leaders they would grant the request amount. it is 1.8 times higher than the raise agreed to last year. the chain is apparently keen to attract more workers through better wages amid the serious labor shortage within japan's food service industry. many japanese employers will announce their responses to union demands on march 18th. >>> japanese customs officials reported a record number of cases in which fake brand goods and other counterfeit products were confiscated last year. they blamed the rise on growing online sales. finance ministry officials say there were more than 32,000 cases of confiscated goods nationwide. that's up 14% from a year earlier. and it is the highest since recordkeeping on this began in 1987. the officials say more than 90% of the cases involved items sent from china. the estimated value of the genuine goods is

one of the things you are seeing is a renewed recognition that labor unions are an important piece and there is a direct causal relationship between the assault on unions and the aversion of quality. example volkswagen tells its employees in tennessee that it is prepared to support a union because they have good relations. there are about to have the election. tennessee republicans a mainstream conservative threatens volkswagen and the workers and says, if you come of the union the company threaten the people at volkswagen that if they voted for union state money that was supposed to go to volkswagen would be withdrawn. they extorted them into voting antiunion. people said, what do you care. his answer if volkswagen guess the union they will push up wages. they just take the money. if they get a union a union it will push up wages and if wages go up it will cause upward pressure on wages throughout tennessee. the policy. michigan has got work. working with the unions. the president is talking about that. making it easy for people to get an education. infrastructure some progress in the

i am a labor union member. you know, this whole strategy behind right to work it's been around a long time, and it's basically divide and conquer. they want to divide up america's working class and look what's gone on. you should show a chart that show average incomes in america. as unionization has fallen, so has average incomes. we're on this downward spiral the race to the bottom. we have corporations with all the power and the working class with very little. and this gentleman says, oh, sure, you can join a union, but if you follow his logic, all unions become is just a social club. host: i've got your chart for you. if up to the take a look at, it we can get mark mix. this is union membership rates around the country, the red line. the blue line, middle class share of income in this country, this courtesy of a chart from the center for american progress. in their study, the headline of their chart is union membership rates decrease middle-class income also shrinks. guest: that's an interesting point he mak

king, we have reports from atlanta which indicate that you will recommend to the nation's labor unions a nationwide work stoppage to keep the plight of alabama negroes before the country. now can you give us some details on this plan? dr. king: yes, mr. chancellor. i think the conditions in alabama have degenerated to such a low level of social disruption and such a low level of man's inhumanity to man, that the whole conscience of the nation must rise up and engage in some kind of creative, firm action program that will bring the business leaders and the decent people of alabama to the point of bringing pressure to bear on governor wallace and other officials who are responsible for this reign of terror. i left alabama last week after the march feeling that we had made a great triumph, and we certainly did in the march, and that maybe we would see a brighter day all over the state of alabama. but the fact is, governor wallace refused to see those who had a petition to present, and not long after that, mrs. luizzo was brutally shot down in an automobile on highway 80. this is just one

union. last year, the national labor relations board took an important step to modernize and streamline union election procedures. commonsense, simple advancements. the rule changes are good for workers and good for businesses. this whole fight doesn't deal with business for its workers. you have to search long and hard to find a business that opposes what the nlrb did. this is all the antiunion rhetoric of the republicans here in the senate. the reforms that nlrb pushed forward allows employers and unions to file forms electronically kind of the modern world that we all live in. they also allow communications with workers by email and cell phone. pretty reasonable reform, it sounds like to me. yet today senate republicans are trying to roll back rule changes instituted by the nlrb. later this afternoon we'll vote on a resolution of disapproval to undo those commonsense reforms. republicans think they are striking a blow against labor unions with votes like today's vote, but what they're really doing is undermining the american worker, american families. american workers and their families ha

if it isn't associated with labor. union in a sense was so important during the 19th century is gone. there were contending understandings of the meaning of union. almost always tied to ideas about liberty and opportunity and frequently enmeshed with beliefs about the place of the institution of slavery in the american republic. all of the individuals who have been the subjects of lectures in this series talked about union from maed sondison and other framers of the constitution who drafted what they thought would lead to a more perfect union, to andrew jackson who very famously referred to union in making a toast while he looked right at john c. calhoun during the nullification crisis on jefferson's birthday in 1832. he said our federal union must be preserved, to which, as many of you know, calhoun replied the union next to our liberty most dear. during the election of 1860 when four candidates ran for the presidency under four party standards, all of them talked about union. all of them wanted to be right with union. for
