the us rooted out child labor practices 75 years ago. but today, us agriculture remains a stronghold for child labor. >> i know most kids come out here to help their parents out, get the money to pay the bills. >> it's just another day on the fields of america. >> hi, can you tell me your name? >> gabriella. workers like gabriella are not uncommon. >> how old are you? >> nine. >> how old were you when you first started working out here? >> seven. >> seven! >> the us government estimates that nearly 10 percent of hired field workers in this country are children. >> when it comes to children, it is a big deal. young children that we heard about, collecting blueberries, 3 and 5 years old, 7 years old, and the rationale was, because their hands are so tender and small, that they would not crush the blueberries. >> what they're doing is noble, and helping the family, but they need to break the cycle. >> if the public were more aware, i think they'd be outraged. >> this week on fault lines investigates children at work in agriculture, america'

it's 16. >> not according to the us department of labor. the minimum age standards for agricultural employment allows children as young as 12. and even 10-years-olds can be employed harvesting crops by hand. the rules don't apply to farm children on their own parent's farms. the people who lobby congress for labor and immigration issues aren't even aware of what the laws are. >> all our employers are abiding by the laws and regulations and they're not. by and large there is bad actors but by and large they are paying minimum wage or higher to everyone working legally on their farm and making sure that they're not being exploited. >> agrictulure ranks near the top of most hazardous work, along with mining and construction. for workers aged 15 to 17, the risk of fatal injury is four times as much as other industries, according to the labor department. but many farmers in the us are against changing the old child labor laws. we're going to meet one, a member of the farm bureua and a cattle rancher in montana. >> dennis rehberg, he's a former c

up 10d bank usage went times under the last labor government. what i want to see is helping all families with their living standards. that is why we should recognize the fact we are getting more people into work. we are growing our economy. we are keeping interest rates down. we are cutting taxes. for things that are vital to living standards and for things you would never get from a label government. -- labor government. >> in september, the ambulance service moved to a makeready system. today, there are no two-man ambulances. already several of my constituents have been left for unacceptably long periods waiting for a nebulous to take them to a hospital. agree toprime minister meet with me to see what can be done before a constituent dies waiting for a nebulous to come? >> i share my friends concern about the importance of response times for amulets is. we have to test them for help they meet those targets. -- how they meet those targets. i am very happy to arrange a meeting with her and health ministers to look at this. i know the ambulance s

and other labor groups. so we did meet with several members of the labor leadership in the city over the course of about a month. >> then when you had reported back on those meetings to the public utilities commissioners, what was the response from public utilities commissioners about those meetings? >> i don't recall specifically the meetings didn't resolve anything in particular. the meetings -- >> according to the public utilities commissioners what was supposed to be resolved? >> well, i know some of them expressed concerns that some labor representative were not supporting the program going forward. >> like i bw which has been running a mail campaign for months, decrying the program and the shell contract? >> ibw was the most vocal opponent of the program as far as i know. the labor council did actually issue a resolution with certain conditions and we discussed those conditions with them and talked about how the city might be able to work with them to make it a program that would be acceptable to them

it is the same old labor. [cheering] >> the one thing the prime minister doesn't want to talk about is energy prices. he can't talk about it because he has no answer. let's have an answer on the energy price freeze. can he confirm that opposing the freeze, he has on his side the big six energy companies and supporting a freeze, we have consumer bodies like -- and small energy producers. if an energy price freeze was such a great idea, why didn't he introduce it when he stood [indiscernible] the fact is -- >> it is not a price freeze. he is not in control of worldwide gas prices. he had to admit the next today he couldn't keep his promise. the reason the right honorable gentleman doesn't want to talk about the economy is because he hasn't got a credible economic policy. he can't explain why the deficit is falling, the economy is growing, on implement is coming down. given his problem, he doesn't help himself by having a totally incredible energy policy. >> i thought he might get to the record of the last govern

on this labor day thank you to all of the great leaders. mayor brown and mayor quan and mayor lee and all those who pictures are symbolized throughout this hello. those who worked so hard to make this historic day come to past. now my pleasure to introduce the senator (clapping) >> yes 24 years since is earthquake. it's about time everybody isn't it? it's also while we're doing touch stones 8 years since the bay area delegation came together in a time of financial hardship when there was a question of the bridge maybe just being a ramp to the i'd like. and put together the program that led to every state owned bridge in california and i was proud as part of the bay area delegation at this time along with our majority leader ellen who's here and along with the senator with assemblyman john and, of course, brian kelly our new head of california trance who was working with the senator. as a delegation we put together a bill that i was proud to be able to carry a b-144 that led to this beautiful bridge today. my thought then and annoy is that t

they had no steel and very short on labor. so what they did is decided to build with most available labor they had, the prisoners. they turned the whole job over to the gulags construction company. these are prisoners of war, german pows and there's also soviet pows. when they came back, security officials considered that they had been traitors and they put them into these camps and basically read and present them in the soviet union. so here's a shot of the soviet laborers, prisoners building a state-of-the-art nuclear reactor with the tools of the egyptian pharaohs. and it's clear from the records that they called their camp, camp construction, that there was no model of prisonlike control and order. there were not enough guards so the prisoners regarded themselves. the prison warlords took over and they sort world with this terrifying violence. one civilian manager and engineer was found after went missing for a couple of months, he was found walled up in a cement foundation of the reactor pit. prisoners thought and drank a

answer on labor's energy price freeze. what is clear is it won't happen under him but it would happen under a labor government. mentioned his policy on terrorists and he says that his explain why ate least 90% of the country will get no benefit from his policy? >> first of all, let us deal with labor's energy policy. let's spend a little bit of time on it. let's examine the fact that he is committed to a new decolonization target -- de carbonizing target that would add to everyone's bill. 12did mention the fact that hours after making his pledge, he said he might not be able to fulfill it because of international wholesale gas prices. isn't that the case? what he is promising is a price increase before a promise, a broken promise and a price increase after a promise. one price increase, one broken promise, another price increase. that sounds like every labor government since the war. he is floundering around and he has no answer to labor's energy price freeze. benefit 90% of the country. he has no idea. he wants to bring e

and the department of labor planning to do? they're planning to make it harder and more expensive for these americans to get a financial -- to get financial advice they both want and need. perhaps even more incredibly, the s.e.c., the securities and exchange commission, is moving forward with this new regulation even though the agency has failed to provide any evidence that it would better protect investors. so the securities and exchange commission apparently is going to regulate first, ask questions later. that makes no sense for millions of struggling americans trying to save for the future. mr. speaker, again, we know that millions of middle class families are sitting around their kitchen tables, struggling to save and invest in order to make ends meet and every day millions of them turn to financial professionals for advice. and yet here it comes from washington, regulations that will make that advice either unavailable or unaffordable. so fewer americans will get the advice they need. that's unfair. let me provide you a c

thee know labor are against benefit cap. labor wants unlimited benefits for families. they're no longer the labour party, they are the welfare party and it is very clear from the question that they are. we think it is right to cap benefits because no family can earn more out of work than they can earn in work. the early evidence is showing that this is encouraging people to look for work area for a party that believes in hard- working people, that is good news, presumably for the welfare party that is bad news. >> the prime minister will be ofre of the business model the not-for-profit company responsible to its consumers and not turn shareholders. does a prime minister agree that such a company in the energy supply sector would introduce real competition? competition in the energy sector, whether that comes from private businesses are cooperative businesses or as he says charitable enterprises. we want an open energy market. fact is what we are left was the big six. a gift left by the party opposite. -- the reasonft the energy market is working properly lies largely a

tracey came into labor and delivery at west hills in early labor. the examination was a cervix that was about two centimeters dilated, which is very early. tracey unfortunately, is about a week overdue. and in that situation very often there's decreased amniotic fluid. the amniotic fluid inside the uterus acts as a cushion to protect the baby during the course of labor when the uterus is contracting and putting pressure on the baby and the umbilical cord. with decreased amniotic fluid, there's less capability to protect the baby and more often they develop distress which is what tracey's baby started to do. d th when we h thproble the problem of the heartbeat dropping and that got pretty intense and pretty scary. and as a result of that, with the early stage of her labor, we decided that the baby wouldn't tolerate labor well for the rest of the course of labor which would be eight or nine hours. so the decision was made to do an emergency "c" section that evening. j.p. garamone: you could see that everybody was under control, all the doctors were th

what does it all mean for the labor movement? with the national roll-out of obama care hobbling along, what can we expect from california's new health care exchange? the state's top campaign finance watchdog heads to the federal election commission in washington. >> we have been able to achieve consensus, and i'm hoping that we're going to be able to do the same at the s.e.c. >>> good evening. welcome to "wqed newsroom." the top political watchdog scored a major win this week and california's fptc announced $1 million fine in a case of campaign money laundering. the settlement is against two nonprofits until last year's election. >> the nonprofit and the donors to them thought to exploit loopholes in california disclosure laws. >> the contributions were intended to help defeat governor brown's proposition 30 to raise taxes and pass the anti-labor measure proposition 32. they went to court before the november election pushing the group to disclose the true source of the contribution. she's now headed to washington d.c. to serve as

to labor's energy price freeze. that won't benefit 90% of the country. he has no idea. he wants to bring energy prices down. can you confirm that energy prices have gone up by 300 pounds since he became prime minister? >> energy prices doubled under labor. let me make this point. there is one thing government can control. that is the international wholesale price of gas. i know he would like to live in some sort of marxist universe where you can control all these things but he needs a basic lesson in economics. perhaps he should remember what labor's industry minister has said. this is what he said. in an effort to appeal to tribal socialism and a minority in the country, he is put at risk millions of jobs. he has put up a sign, don't invest here. that is the new left-wing labor party. >> mr. speaker, i do suggest he goes and tries to work out his position on the energy price freeze. he says the policy was nuts -- he said on monday that it struck a chord. that freezing energy prices could make a difference. he has n

one big reason for this difference is that labor is cheap and machinery expensive in africa, while labory relatively cheap here. the way we produce our products will be aected by the prices of production-- raw materials, labor, machinery. the businessman will find it in his interest to substitute cheaper factors for the more expensive-- high fructose for sugar, dams and pipes for human labor. in most cas, even when we're unaware of the change, we, the consumers, will benefit. ♪ jazzy all around ♪ with loads of room in the back ♪ ♪ studebaker lark saves you the jack ♪ ♪ big-car comfort ♪ easy to park ♪ you're going to have a ball in the lark ♪ ♪ the '62 lark studebaker had been attracting public attention with its innovative cars after world war ii. by 1948, studebaker sales soared to 300,000, grabbing 4% of the market. profs were more than $46 million. for over a century, studebaker plants in south bend had produced quality transportation. even with its fast postwar start, studebaker could not compete. why did studebaker fail in america's flourishing automobile market? in 1852, five stud

the problem in the labor market is that we have a lot of people out of work. there doesn't seem to be any kind of momentum in congress towards doing anything in the jobs front that isn't essentially repealing obama care. >> one of the things that all of us know has to be dealt with this time in the budget talks is a sequester. we were told right when that went into effect that that was going to lead to 10s of thousands of jobs lost. maybe my colleagues learned something when the government was shut down. when you shut down the government, things actually stop happening, maybe they learned something about that and so when we go to budget talks this time, dealing with the sequester needs to be at the top of the agenda. >> do you hear from business owners in your -- people being capped under 30 hours so that they don't qualify for the employer mandate which i note won't go into effect for another year. is that something you interact with your constituents about? >> it's primarily from the point of view of confusion, people just being confused because they hear wh

in the private sector, they amount to less than seven percent of the labor force and organized labor and so they have to pick their battles and trumka decided this is where he will drive his standard in to the ground and do it first. >> but if they only represent seven percent of the private labor and much more of the public labor force. can democratic politicians win without them and their support? >> no, at least they could not now alisyn. they are part of what is a successful political coalitions on the planet, that is organized labor and the democratic party. it is a lynch pin for every democratic initiative over the last 70 years and one is utterly dependent on the others. if we see a breach it would be a political development. >> in that case, it is a catch 22 for democrats, if they vote for entitlement reform richard trumka said you will not have our support and lose your job. and yet if they don't do it they may be voted out with constituents. >> and more recently, they would like more toys and candy and trinkets from the federal government. i don't believe democrats will tak

so it's a sign of distress in the labor market.asked that to secretary perez, he thinks the labor participation rate was doing well. he felt it was strong. that is what the fed is going to look at when it comes to evaluating the bond buying program. if you were inside the fed's mind right now, what would you think about that rate in particular? >> good question. i mean clearly they're looking at that rate but they will also be looking what happens month to month in terms of the payroll employment which is independent of that participation rate. and there too there is a lot of confusion. as you said earlier, very mediocre number for september. the october number will be down quite substantially. then it will probably bounce back up in november. the question is, what is the fed looking at? what should it look at? i think it will give the fed a lot of pause here in terms of not really knowing what's going on in the economy. david: how does the fed continue a policy, all this money-printing, that will have a portfolio of $4 trillion pr

of labor september 25th and that has been in the hands of the secretary of labor on september 25th, and somewhere in the mix of political appointee the budget office and the white house, there is a decision not to do the jobs report today. at a certain point you serve the public and the people in give you have the latitude to and based on subjective judgment to do the right thing you should do the right thing. >> this is monica crowley. talking about the politics of all of this and the point i made was government should be about setting priorities and you would think the jobs report would be a priority so they are withholding this to make a political point. the bigger question is could it have been the jobs report was so anemic like previous one that they didn't actually want the data released? >> if you look at last month's report there was a correction the preceding two months. there are people dropping out of the work force. the timing was important. and young americans 18-29 are forced to pay for president obama's health-care plan the unemployment is 16.1% i doubt it would have
