joining me now is kevin courtney, the joint general secretary of the national education union. ional education unit are, you are relatively new on the block, you are revamped of something older. we launched yesterday, it's the amalgamation of the national union of teachers, with the association of teachers and lecturers. we are now joint general secretaries of the national education union, the biggest education union in europe, 450,000 teachers in membership, a majority in this country, open to other educational professionals. that's cleared that up for people thinking they hadn't heard of that. in terms of this particular story, this is one school we are talking about. do you believe it's happening elsewhere? yeah, there is evidence that other schools behave in this way. it's a way of massaging your a—level results, if you like, so you keep the children who you know are going to do well. you try and move some of the others away. then your school looks better. it's obviously very bad for those children. the young people, iam very very bad for those children. the young people, i

i serve as vice president of the executive board of the national union of healthcare workers. my comments today reflect partially my personal expense working with patients and also the expense of my colleagues i represent. i speak to you about how the opiate crisis is personal to the work i do as well as the consequences of failing to provide full mental health. paul not all patients i work with have some sort of opiate addiction, those who do have serious underlying mental-health issues. opiates, by the very nature are pain relievers. the people i work with are in pain, they're anxious, depressed, and have turned to opiates to deal with this pain. this dissolution comes at a cost. when people turn to opiates they miss out on family celebrations, gatherings with friends, church events, marston partly, work. this report is supported by national findings from a recent brookings institute report the found that between 1999 and 2015 roughly 20% of the reduction in the men's workforce participation was because of painkiller abuse. one patient in particular comes to mind, when i sta

-- to save their jobs, they like that representation, but they resent the state union and the national union and they resent all the politics, they resent the one cited agenda that the unions are passing behind our backs. we don't know what they're doing most of the time. they just take our money and run. did you know that my husband's $1,200 a year, did you know that only 20% stays in the local union. 50% goes to the state union, 30% goes to the national union. that's a lot of money. teachers resent that. they have no problem with the local, but they have a real problem with that state and national. so in 2012, i realized i can't make my voice be heard in this union without the union, my school district was terrified of the union. my administrators were terrified. nobody would do anything about this. so i started writing editorials in the local newspaper. all i wanted to do was just educate the community, and educate my fellow educators on, look, we don't have to put up with this. we could decertify these unions. we have to stand up for what's right for the children, that's why we're there,

i also serve as the vice president on the executive board at the national union of health care workers and so my comments today will reflect partially my personal experience working with patients but also the experience of my colleagues who i represent. i've come to speak to you today about how the opioid crisis is personal to the work i do as well as the consequences of failing to provide full mental health parody. while not all the patients i work with have some sort of opioid addiction, those who do have serious underlying mental health issues. opioids by the very nature are pain relievers and the people i work with you near pain. they're anxious, depressed and reported turning to opioids to deal with this pain. this -- this solution comes at a cost. when people turn to opioids, they miss out on family celebrations, gatherings with friends, church events and most importantly work. this report is supported by national findings from a recent brookings institute report that found that between 1999 and 2015 roughly 20% of the reduction in the men's work force participation was due to pa

in our early 30s, and i thought we knew how to organize and could make it happen and build a national union said no, we will not have a life time union in our lifetime, because the growers are too rich and powerful and too racists. >> and it's still the case? >> i think it's still the case, because the united farm workers win election and can't get the contracts because the growers fight them tooth and nail and take them to court and are willing to spend tens of thousands to negotiate with their workers and give that money to these guys that fight labor unions and the attorneys and tie them up in court. >> it's a strange question, i wonder what you think, dolores, that t the average american, th person watching this show right now really understands what is at the other end of the great -- the orange, they peel, the apple they bite into, et cetera, do you think we really understand? is there a connection made between the maltreatment of the workers working to pick that fruit? >> i don't think the people really make that connection, unfortunately, you know, we are so separated in our societi

maybe for a local union in ohio it might be but for the national unions they are political powerhouses with lots of funds. as far as the right to work legal defense foundation we rely on contributions given voluntarily to support the work we do. the average contribution is around $74 and we get reports from private foundations and individuals mostly, some small businesses but not large businesses by any stretch of the manual nation. host: james, line for independents, go ahead. caller: here in michigan, i know back in 2012 michigan went right to work but interestingly enough, you have police and fire lobby, those unions lobbies very hard and it was granted to them. michigan state police troopers had the constitutionally right to collectively bargain since the michigan constitution was ratified in 1963. my question is twofold. one, what efforts is your organization making to ensure police and fire are provided the right to work opportunity that you think is so important and secondly, what is being done nationwide to ensure that winners and losers such as here in michigan, winners and lo

we now people voted for the national union of democracy in the elections of 2015, they in fact...udio drop out there are some difficulties with ec. we will try again now. none of these challenges are easy nor simple. transition for us is a transition to democracy after 50 years or more of authoritarian rule. now we are in the process of nurturing our nation yet imperfect democracy. peace and stability were something we had to achieve after nearly 70 years of internal conflict that started on the day of our independence in 19118. development has to be achieved within the context of the first to. nurturing democratic values, establishing peace and stability and achieving the kind of sustainable development that will be seen as equitable by all our people. burma isa equitable by all our people. burma is a complex nation. its complexity is a complex nation. its complexity is compounded by the fact that people expect us to overcome all these challenges in as short a time as possible. i think it is only fitting that i should remind you that today that our government has not yet been in

i also serve as the vice president on the executive order, the national union of health care workers. my comments will we flekt my personal experience working with patients and my colleagues, who i represent. i have come to speak to you today about how the opioid crisis is as far as failing to provide full mental health parity. while not all have some sort of opioid addiction. they are pain relievers and the people i work with are anxious, depressed and they have reported turning to opioids to deal with this pain. this solution comes at a cost. when people turn to opioids they miss out on church events and most importantly work. this report is supported by national findings from a recent report that found when i started working with him had gone through treatment for chemical dependency. it has a specific department for chemical dependency. not to get you guys into the weeds on this thing but when this person came to me he was no longer on the opioids per se. he was using them periodically but he had started his recovery from that process but was out of work, disconnected from family

well, this regulatory agency, the national credit union association, uses no federal funds. to operate, to administer, to manage the national credit union shared insurance fund. let me repeat. uses no federal funds. now, taxpayer -- when nontaxpayer funds are required to be federally appropriated, hopefully this strikes you as an odd idea. but when the funds in question are placed under the appropriation process and are subject to being swept for other federal spending measures, i hope that bothers you. not strikes you as odd. but bothers you. credit union member generated insurance funds that are now, by virtue of being put into the appropriations process, subject to being swept for other federal spending processes. i would hope that when we look at this, even though i was an enthusiastic supporter of the choice act, i reserve. i would like to give a moment to my colleague from illinois, mr. quigley. the chair: the gentleman from llinois is recognized. mr. quigley: mr. chairman, i will be yielding back. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentle

in a town where the minimum wage is above the national average, union members say the bay area is unique. >> a living wage here is really around $18 an hour minimum. that's just to survive. >> while california lawmakers striving to hit the $15 minimum wage mark by 2022, others say that's not enough. >> minimum wage is part of our goal. the other goal is to have a voice on the job. >> [indiscernible] doesn't have enough money to buy food. >> a teenager talks -- >> we can't survive without minimum wage although we have two jobs. it's impossible. >> [chanting] >> protestors wenl computers calling for union talks for janitors inside the tech giant. people are worried about the -- putting job in jeopardy. either way the local union here in san jose says they plan to continue to fight for higher minimum wage standards, not only here in the south bay, but across the nation. in san jose, sandra osborne, kpxi dot -- kp kpix. >>> a micro burst sent people scrambling. people were tossed into the water. a kayaking group, a tour group got caught in the mess. incredibly no one was hurt. >>> more than

the identification of russian nationalism with soviet communism is an important aspect of soviet propaganda. perhaps the achievements of the soviet union since the revolution have been purchased at such great personal and national sacrifice, the soviet union's status as world power allows the regime to draw from a deep well of the brush and a personality, love of country. they have played on this impulse with a considerable degree of success, and by cleverly tying russian nationalism to communism, has produced soviet patriotism. the result is an important social bond, even among members of national minority groups. the party fully utilizes propaganda, portraying soviet involvement in the third world as benevolent aid to countries trying to fight so-called western imperialism. the victory over nazi germany in world war ii provides an inexhaustible source of pride in the average citizen. the party identifies itself with that great achievement by prescribing the war is a struggle behalf of the soviet people under the guidance of the communist party. this theme will receive greater emphasis on the 40th anniversary celebration of germany's

european union and perhaps because of our history and geography the european union never felt to us like an integral part of our national story in the way it does to so many elsewhere in europe. it is a matter of choices the profound pooling of saw frenzy that is a crucial feature of the european union permits unprecedentedly deep cooperation which brings benefits but it also means that when countries are in the minority they must sometimes accept decisions they do not want even affecting domestic matters with no market implications beyond their borders and when such decisions are taken they can be very hard to change so the british electorate made a choice they chose the power of domestic democratic control over pooling that control strengthening the role of the u.k. parliament and the devolved scottish parliament welsh and northern ireland assembly is in deciding our laurels that is our choice it does not mean that we are no longer a proud member of the family of european nations and it does not mean we are turning our back on europe or worse that we do not wish europe to succeed the succeed the success of the e.u. is

let's talk to kevin courtney, the joint general secretary of the national education union. if we lookis, what the government promising? that isn't much of a promise. liz truss has sent a letter to the reviewing body saying there could be more flexibility, but no indication of whether it will be funded from the current budgets. teachers like other public sector workers are in the same position. you would accept it feels like this for a lot of people in the public and private sector. the interesting thing about the letter is that liz truss is specifically saying that if there are school shortages, we might allow more flexibility there. the pay review bodies have said there are school shortages. where are the shortages? the schoolteachers pay review body last summer against the blu ntest review body last summer against the bluntest warning you could imagine. they said that teacher pay, the comparability with other graduate positions has got worse and that pay was worse for beginner and more experienced teachers. they went on to say that the problem with teacher recruitment and retention

this war has made the union, i wille nation safe, and read just some representative -- just three quick quotations that get at the fact that the other thing celebrated by the union cause is the union was made by whom? , by citizenoldiers soldiers who put on uniforms and pick up muskets, because that's what you do if someone is threatening a political system that gives you a voice in your government and an economic affords the opportunity -- not the guarantee, but the opportunity -- to rise. lincoln is absolutely the poster boy for this meaning of union. he gets at both the economic and control of our on government elements of that. that is what they are celebrating. let's pick someone at random, our friend william tecumseh sherman. this is sherman and his congratulatory orders to the minute his army. three armies came together from disparate fields with separate histories, yet bound by one common cause -- the union of our country and the perpetuation of the government of our inheritance. sherman said that the men had and addeden can do that they could join in the universal joy that fill

unions fear they'll have to be paid for out of existing budgets. we spoke earlier today to kevin courtney, the joint general secretary of the national education union can do to children's education. we can't see very much of a promise in this letter. we have got liz truss, the secretary to the treasury later the dashwood letter to the pay review bodies, saying there might be more flexible itsy but no indication of how much flexibility and no indication of whether it would be funded. i think teachers, like all other public sector workers, are now ina other public sector workers, are now in a position where their pay has been held down for many years. last year, theresa may said our economy should work for everyone. but if your pay has stagnated for several yea rs your pay has stagnated for several years ina your pay has stagnated for several years in a row and fixed spending items keep going up, it doesn't feel like it's working for you and that's the way it feels for teachers at the moment. you access it feels like that for a lot of people in the public and private sector. the interesting thing is perhaps, about the letter, liz truss is very specif

kevin courtney is the joint general secretary of the new national education union, which is a merger he told us that unfortunately this isn't a one—off case. there is evidence that other schools behaving this way. it is a way of massaging your a—level results, so you keep the children who you know are going to do well, you try and move some of the others away, and your schools looks better. it is very bad for those children. i am very bad for those children. i am very pleased that st 0laves has changed its mind on this. we are talking about young people who got a b grade. that is not the top grade but it is a good grade. those young people had worked hard for those grades and the school was suggesting they would have to move somewhere during the earlier levels, which would be likely to impact on them and geta would be likely to impact on them and get a lower a—level results for them. the lawyer for these children we re them. the lawyer for these children were suggesting that they could prove in a court of law that the school had illegally excluded children. schools can exclude childr

and it is a voluntary union and every nation has the right to self-determination it's not to legally binding vote the k r g have been very clear on that but they are letting their people express their opinion and it does look like it's going to be an overwhelming yes and since people do have the right to self-determination why have we heard from the un secretary general i'm tony harris against this why is the you went against the vote when the u.n. charter. says that self-determination is enshrined in it i think unfortunately the kurds are always the unfortunate victims of the political realities of the middle east you know everyone always tells the kurds when they also got independence it's not the right time but really when is the right time there's many internal differences amongst the kurds but at the same time iraq is very much a failed state it can't protect itself and it's to be honest the reaction from baghdad has been predictable but disappointing they actually haven't made any moves to really say look we don't want you to leave we want you to stay and i think that's a shame

take the issue of european union nationals in the uk and the british nationals in europe out of these negotiations because... applause. because using them as bargaining chips is not only morally wrong but utterly cowardly productive. so put the lives of 4 million people first. not the poste doing internal politics of the conservative party. the government should declare a right to stay now. and at the end of these tortuous divorce negotiations, the british public must be given a vote on the outcome. let me be clear, this is not a cool for a rerun, it is not a cool for a second brexit referendum, it isa cool for a second brexit referendum, it is a call for a first referendum on the fact. applause when we know what brexit means, the people should get the choice. the government deal and from brexit. we know, of course, that the court will rejected by the brexit, we will be denounced as traitors, i half prepared for a spell and a cell with tuna miller, ken clarke and so on. ——jean at tuna miller, ken clarke and so on. —— jean at miller. but the of sabotage is fighting to protect british j

[applause] >> let's talk about the gcc state, countries. you don't think i assume democracy will break out their or should. >> now, these are monarchies and they ha

you're the national taxpayer's union which is not a real union just to be clear.t it's a bad idea to raise taxes on the wealthy, and we trust that the policy -- >> you're coming at me from all angles. i will reiterate what i believe is a mischaracterization of the conservative principle position for tax reform. that is not preserving the tax reform for the upper class. it's flattening out tax rates, getting rid of the obscurity that we have. house republicans have been working on for years, senator republicans have been working on it for years. this fits neatly into what the republicans and conservatives have been saying for some time, the tax code is broken and only benefits the upper elite. >> if you take down the top right now it's 39 pshs. the president said the corporate rate is 15 and i want to bring it lower than that for individuals. so definition nally, if you were to bring the top bracket from 39 to 15, people who make a loi at money are going to get a big income tax. >> i don't think the president has any idea what he's talking about. >> that's a good p

important thing to do, whether it be unions protecting their rights or individuals protecting their own rights through the use of an organization like ours at the national right to work legal defense foundation. there's nothing in the laws in any of the right to work states or here in washington that prohibits anyone from joining a union or participating in a union. if you want to give your entire paycheck to a union official, you can do that. no one will argue with that. maybe your wife would but i wouldn't and the law wouldn't. in right to work states they're simply protected and can't be fired for tail you are to tender dues or fees. it's that simple. host: we talk about right to work laws, explain what's going on in missouri right now? guest: in missouri the legislature passed and the new governor signed a right to work law making missouri the 28th state to do that. union officials down there, the afl-ciu filed petitions with the secretary of state to exercise what they call a veto referendum. where the public can go in and overturn a statute passed by the legislature. it looks like those petitions will be certified by the secretary of state and tha
