joining us, the former chairwoman of the national labor relations board under obama. last time amazon workers did a unionization vote was in 2014 when a small group decided not to unionize after wall -- after all? will this time be different? >> i don't know what the results will be but this time is certainly different in the aspect of how much attention this vote has gotten written the fact that it involves almost 6000 employees, the fact that it is in the south, coming during the pandemic and in the context of these interlocking crises, the pandemic, the economic crisis, the racial justice crisis, democracy crisis. this is huge in a way that earlier efforts to organize amazon workers and other companies have not been huge. emily: amazon has pushed back hard on this. in a statement we just got, they say, our employees know the truth. wages starting at $15 or more. health care from day one. a safe and inclusive workplace. we encouraged all of our employees to vote and their voices will be heard. amazon has held some mandatory antiunion meetings which i am told is not

shaquille o'neal is also a supporter of another non-profit, the boys & girls club, and he's on the national board for over a year tphoeu recognizing that were it not for the boys & girls club or programs like communities and schools, students like him that grew up in communities -- to speak to another caller's at point, based on a zip code can determine your future, and we penned that op-ed to say we could have been one of the students that had fallen off the radar with little or no connection to a campus, and we didn't know how to navigate that ourselves and we could have been one of the students who had fallen behind. so shaquille o'neal has been an incredible supporter and he understands and walks the walk with our non-profit and others to support students, and it's important for leaders of color to understand how important it is that our communities be lifted up. >> let's go to our communicators line, and this is david in inglewood, new jersey. >> i just want to make three quick points. the first one is, what are you trying to do is great, and it's helpful but you are trying to replace the pa

the case worked its way to the national board. a new ruling by the national labor relations board allowed for 10 ballots to be counted giving union supporters a narrow victory. >>> now yesterday i started to text you to tell you i was too hot. i'm not complaining because i enjoy the sunshine. but it was hot. >> what? >> it was hot. >> really? i was outside though. >> i was outside on the rooftop doing a workout. >> that's too much. you weren't hot? >> i thought it felt great. >> i was hot.

retailer handled covert 1000 cases in their warehouses results from an investigation by the national labor relations board found that amazon did in fact threaten and retaliate against workers who protested their handling of the pandemic according to the 1935 national labor relations act that is a legal it all started in queens new york are march 18th of 2020 the warehouse was shut down after an employee tested positive for the crown of virus this was the 1st reported covert $1000.00 case for an amazon worker in the country 2 days later the queens warehouse we opened jonathan bailey an amazon employee led the walkouts in queens and issued a federal complaint against amazon according to the investigation a regional manager interrogated bailey for an hour and a half he was then written up for harassment the investigation concluded amazon told their workers to not organize without 1st alerted them interrogated employees about a walkout then threatened employees if they discussed protests with their colleagues and amazon spokesperson said while we disagree with the allegations made in this case we are pleased

variety of ways so some of those complaints address those issues as well and you know the national labor board has found some merit to them so this of course coming on the heels of a record year for amazon we were all stuck at home i don't know about you but i did some online shopping i certainly did some online ordering you know because of the coronavirus so 84 percent i think their profits went up and they don't want to see a union come in and undermine that so it'll be interesting to see especially i think the workers felt like they weren't necessarily getting the benefit of all that extra money and work as well and it's interesting because i saw on screen there we were showing bernie sanders talking to some workers there the senator from vermont who ran for president as well obviously a big supporter of organized labor but many of the points he's been making about this is look jeff bezos is the richest man or one of the richest men in the world this company as you said their profits are up what over 80 percent you know why are you so against taking care of these workers now if the vote if

juan: the national labor relations board, the president will be able to have a majority on the boardbly later this year because the terms are staggered, but he did appoint the general counsel recently to the nlrb that is much more prolabor. could you talk about the impact that is having on the potential for future union drives? >> i would also mention what it is having on this union drive as well because labor law in this country is tilted for employers and to make it difficult for workers to ever be able to achieve a union. and that is incredibly unfortunate. we saw that the truck board often sought to make it even worse for workers trying to organize. lengthening time periods, giving employers more time to try to intimidate and interfere with workers. we need to -- we need to change the way we conduct union elections in this country, but that means two things. it means we need to have a board composed of people who are going to be supportive of what is the policy of this country, which used to promote collective bargaining and unitization. and it also means that we have to change t

roger's work in houston was so successful that in 2002 he was asked to serve on aipac's national boardsition he would hold for nearly two decades. lucky for me, that's how roger and i ended up on the same trip to israel in march of 2002. we visited israel during the second intifada, a time of serious violence and unrest. little did i know at the time, i wouldn't just look to roger for insight during our trip, he would become a trusted friend and source of advice over the next two decades. and make no mistake, i wasn't the only one who learned from roger. as a member of aipac's national board, he would make almost monthly trips to washington,d.c., often with a group of texans to advocate for a strong future and a strong u.s.-israel relationship. teddy roosevelt once said nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care. it only took a few words to realize how much roger knew because you also saw how much he cared. he cared deeply about israel, its people, and its success, and became a respected voice on the importance of a strong u.s.-israel relationship. he didn't care

look at the difference that the national labor relations board act itself made in 1935. union membership shot up. the wages of the top 10% shot down as a share of everybody's. we got more equal. we achieved the american dream. and now with 1,000 cuts to union membership, we're down to 6% of private sector workers being in unions, there's incredible divergence and the wealthy have taken all the gains and workers aren't in unions anymore. let's look at some specific stuff as we get the next slide up here. let's start with benefits. union members make -- have more benefits and better benefits almost across the board. here's just a couple of examples. 86% of union members have access to paid sick leave as opposed to 2% of nonunion workers and 94% of union members have access to health care, health care benefits compared to just 2/3 of nonunion workers. and it's not on this slide but more than half of union members have access to defined benefit pensions. real pension. and only a small fraction of nonunion workers do. finally, let's look at wages in the next one. for all work

not their workers depending upon if there's a republican or democrat appointing people to national relations board so biden fired trump people immediately. i was impressed. he put somebody in at the nlrb that not only will probably support grad students being workers but actually is the person that wrote the decision that college athletes were workers. so yeah peter was the district, the person who wrote the decision at northwestern football players were in fact entitled to a union. which is another chapter of my book. actually been like sort of a low-key labor thing but it's actually could potentially have a lot of really good affects for a lot of people in the university system that we have people who recognize this is work. so we will see. but yeah adjuncts organizing i think the women are profiled in the book as an adjunct to new york city which of course means she's taught it like every institution in new york and was part of the unit is part of the union at the university where they did win a pretty good contract and raise $70000 per class. so it is still not full-time for it's not tenure-tr

that's the information we got from people who ought to know, the national association of real estate boards well, maybe. but i've always heard that negroes buy shoddy, poor quality merchandise. >> no. it's just the other way around. according to leading researchers, in proportion to population and income, negroes buy more quality products than any other comparable united states group. you see, there are a lot of confused notions about the negro customer. when you dig right down and find out about them, they just don't hold water. negroes own homes, they meet their payments faithfully, they buy good brands of merchandise. why let a lot of hold fashioned ideas hurt profits? take a look at the real facts. here in washington, d.c., the nation's capital, some amazing facts and figures about this new market have been uncovered. for a firsthand report, we'd like to take you directly to the united states department of commerce to hear this story from the secretary of commerce himself. here is the honorable sinclair weeks, the secretary of commerce of the united states. >> in the department of comme

joining me now, former national transportation safety board chairman, jim hall. s auto pilot cars, autonomous vehicles, we are reminded from time to time that maybe we should take it a little slower, aren't we? >> we certainly are. this of course is similar to the situation that we found around that the federal government took their hands off of the role of new technologies. >> charles: it's huge. the government, the federal government itself is behind it with all kind of incentives, states are behind it, corporations are behind it. what does an investigation like this entail? if it is -- if they can say okay, the source of this problem was the auto pilot feature, didn't respond properly, what would happen next? >> well, in this situation, the good news is that the regulateser is responding to a letter by the chairman of the highway safety administration to have more closer sight over these matters. i'm hopeful whatever the investigation reveals that there will be appropriate action taken by the regulator. >> charles: recently volkswagen said that they were at sta
