and they are teaching us things that the national union leaders choose to forget that works. for raising this the minimum wage up to $15, i have heard, which is what we really need, no one should resist raising this if the laws get passed. and making other demands as well. for example, people's organization for progress is holding a conference on newark 19. looking at issues and calling for jobs for all. and i think that if we have jobs available for everyone and job security and we will be able to fight for higher wages in that way as well. are there any other demands that they are making you haven't heard about on the news other than the minimum wage increases? >> okay, this does not actually run the fast food worker strikes but we have been supportive and it's definitely an ally and we support restaurant workers standing up, and i totally agree with you that i think these workers have surprised everybody and the very union actually organize them to stand up and surprise them in their force and willingness to come out and the issues that they presented. it actually wasn't j

well, as time went on, by 1902, at the turn of the century, more than 40 national unions didn't have any members, not a single one, who were african-american. but as the quest for civil rights began in earnest, african-americans would soon find a home, a good home, with labor unions all across the country. by the 1930's the congress of industrial organizations welcomed everyone it encountered, both black and whites, as members, and was one of the most integrated organizations in the united states at that time. by 1945, more than half a million african-americans were members of unions that comprised the congress of industrial organizations. labor unions played a critical role, we've heard that tonight, in the civil rights movement and served as one means by which african-americans could fight for civil rights and fair pay and safe working conditions. mr. speaker, we recently celebrated the 50th anniversary on the march on washington for jobs and freedom. on august 28, 1963, more than 300,000 people, including myself, witnessed the call for civil and economic rights for african-america

trt=:06 [broll of sepp] pete sepp with the national taxpayers union says what employees stay on the job and which ones are furloughed is largely in the hands of barack obama. precedents created during the carter and regan administrations -- made it clear --the president decides which goverment workers are essential for protecting life and property. [frazao standup] in "but because those precedents are not legally binding --the president can take great lattitude with his choices." trt=:08 for example, obama could furlough fewer health and human services employees to carry out parts of the affordable care act, -- in the name of health and security. [sepp sot] sot in 4:03:40 "the types of principles that can exempt a given federal employee can be quite broadly interpreted." trt=:05 about two- thirds of federal goverment spending goes toward paying interest on debt as well as mandatory programs funded by annual appropriations that don't expire -- obamacare happens to be one.

multi-lateral sanctions which we achieved in unprecedented degree in the united nations security council, sanctions that the european union has imposed and sanctions we have taken on a national basis, legislated by congress but also a number that have been ten on the basis of executive action. we would, obviously, be working very closely with congress through the course of any negotiation. and if it were to bear fruit, we would be working to bring congress along with us. the goals have always been the same. the goals of our national sanctions as well as the multilateral sanctions are not to be an end in themselves but to supply sufficient pressure so that iran feels compelled to give up its nuclear program and any ambition for nuclear weapons at the negotiating table. if that goal were achieved in a verifiable and sustainable manner that congress would be able to see that it had contributed very significantly toward getting to that place. >> susan, quick question before we go to our break. is this just a nuclear deal with iran or is there a prospect of actual normalization of relations between the united states and iran?

nations. today, it is one seat of the european union-- a symbol of modern unity. political boundaries become more permeable, perceptions of place change as well as deeper, more personal meanings of national identity. when state boundaries become porous, what does it mean to be french or german or european? strasbourg serves as one of three centers for the european union. this medium-sized city of 250,000 is not a major player in europe's financial or industrial arenas. so why is it playing such an important role in europe's political future? the answer can be found in strasbourg's cultural history-- a product of its unique borderland location. strasbourg literally means "city of the roads that cross." these roads lead west to atlantic europe, east to central europe, north to great britain and south to the mediterranean world. most crucial of all, strasbourg sits on the rhine river between two of europe's strongest historical rivals-- france and germany. strasbourg really occupies a very special kind of position. of course, it's bounced back and forth a bit between

so many of the listeners and people in our nation see unions in the way that has been characterized by attack in the last 40 years. many people in this nation have never had any good experience with unions. host: you think it's perception? guest: i think it's perception and lack of understanding about the role that collective bargaining has played in our economy in driving wages up for everyone. the best way for our capitalist to be a democratic capitalist country is encourage workers to participate in our workforce and in the democracy. host: from napels florida, this is erik on our republican line. caller: i am very conservative. i have a question about the difference between the private sector unions, the public sector unions. i'm actually for private sector unions because what i found in my own case, i was once a teamster, that companies mistreat their employees and they deserve what they get. the difference between the private sector and the public sector is that at the private sector, when you go to the bargaining table, the person who pays the bills is there at bargaining table.

and union bosses, not american workers, is who they run it for. our nation is in deep trouble because of this. government unions even get subsidizes from taxpayers. the american taxpayer unwittily is paying government workers for huge amounts of time to do government work. while they do union work. in "shadowbosses: government unions control america and rob taxpayers blind," we put the number together, according to official government reports, federal employees spend over 3 million hours. this is in 2010 statistics on official time which moons they're getting paid to work for the government but they're doing union work instead. that cost the taxpayers at least $127 million in salary and benefit. when you put in state and local county you are looking at 23 million man hours a year at the cost of over $1 billion. that's a direct subsidize. we're not including all the other subsidizes like giving them office space, giving them copiers, letting them use telephones, as well as a number of other items that we subsidize them with. in the time when we're cutting bac
