i think it is, and from the steps of the supreme court back in february, we had randi weingarten, theresident of the teachers union, saying if they lose, they will have to be more accountable and have to contact and be more transparent with their own numbers. my thought on that is shouldn't they have been doing that the last 10 years plus? it take this case for them all of a sudden to realize that they need to make that change? but does it concern you that this will be used by those who are antiunion, who would like to see unions disappear altogether and leave workers without protection? mark: no, i do not see it at all. in the federal government, you have the union in the federal side of the equation and those people, if they do not want to be a member of the union, it they do not have -- they do not have to pay a fee, and the union is surviving and doing very well. shery: but they will get the benefits of whatever the union actually bargains. doesn't this pose the problem of the free rider who gets the benefits but does not have to pay? mark: in my original premise, they asked for t

randi weingarten, the president of the teachers union, on the steps of the supreme court on the dates of the oral argument, she said if we lose, maybe we ought to do a better job of communicating with our members. and that struck me as very interesting, because, shouldn't they have been doing that all along? case forit take this the unions to wake up and say, we need to communicate with our members better? the reaction of afl-cio president richard trump ka. the supreme clear, court is on the wrong side of history. in the faced flies of where america is headed, where workers want to go and where workers need to go. and it shows exactly how out of touch they are with the real america that is out there. no janus, workers are demanding a voice. we are standing up and speaking out for a better life. we are demanding a fair share of the wealth that we helped create. we are marching and we are organizing and we are bargaining, and we simply will not allow a corporate-controlled supreme court to stop us from doing our job. host: jacob, your reaction. mr. huebert: no one is trying to stop unio

ruminating on that and we could get the decision monday morning, the american federation of teachers, randi weingarten had this to say. the notion that somebody else is going to try to take away our power to have a voice has blanked off our members but the fact is that teachers is you are taking away my first amendment right by making me give you my money to endorse your message as a union. >> in this case the teachers voted to unionize and there is collective-bargaining the other teacher is benefiting from what the union has negotiated, getting a salary and benefits based on how it is negotiated. if you don't want to pay the dues, started never to decertify the union. that has happened in the agricultural regions. you can decertify a union if you don't like what the union is doing but the overwhelming majority of teachers here do one the union and support the union. just a couple people are apparently unhappy with it. >> you need 5 on the supreme court to win one way or the other. i want to ask about sen. lindsey graham, frequent guest on his show. on another network he talks about people critical of

randi weingarten, president of the american federation of teachers, condemned the proposal. she said -- "we are extremely skeptical of the motivations here given how hostile betsy devos and president trump have been to public education, workers, and unions. it seems like this move is just cover for continuing their agenda to go after public schools, gut civil rights and equity protections, provide support for predatory student loan companies, and prey on workers." the trump administration's proposal also calls for restructuring the u.s. postal service and for the potential privatization of both the federal aviation administration's air traffic control services and the saint lawrence seaway. in news from the united nations, u.s. ambassador nikki haley has slammed a new u.n. report by u.n. special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human right philip alston who recently toured the united states. haley said -- "it is patently ridiculous for the united nations to examine poverty in america." haley's comment comes just days after the u.s. pulled out of the u.n. human rights counci
