mary kay henry is president of seiu and she's already endorsed the president for re-election.> good morning, chris. >> you represent more than 2 million workers, and they would see less money in their paycheck if congress doesn't get this done. do you think they will get it done? >> it's completely unclear, but i can tell you what our members are the most concerned about, chris, is the extension of the ui benefit because half a million jobs are counting on that extension and a million workers, and i was shocked to learn that 7 million people will drop off unemployment next year because of how long our recession has been unless congress acts before they go home. >> does this continue to set up this battle that has been emerging between the 99% and the 1%, really the message that the president is making the centerpiece of his campaign? >> absolutely it does, and we look forward to the fight about the extension of the bush tax cuts because we know the republican leadership next may wants to do that, but we think those tax cuts should be used to get 15 million people back to work

as was mentioned, and i think this group out of -- grew out of -- seiu members are here today. the city purchased one south bend ness. janitorial contract went out to bid. it turned out the low bidder was small enough so that they were exempt from both the prevailing wage provisions in the current ordinance and the worker retention provisions in the current ordinance. so we amendments before you seek to address that and make it so that all contractors will be bidding on a level playing field. supervisor chu: i try to understand this. i am glad we will have a continuance so i have a chance to better understand some of the issues that may have gone into the drafting of the legislation. i am wanting to understand what this means for our city departments, not contractors, city businesses. with regard to work for individual employees versus independent contractors, on that component, to receive other examples aside from the sludge contractor where that is the case? >> no. we could, but we have not. supervisor chu: that is a unique situation we have seen in the city? >> correct. supe

like seiu praising andy stern and others that gingrich is dinged for.sible there could be protest vote that won't just go to ron paul. it could go to michele bachmann or santorum. >> bret: consensus, ron paul, you get a feeling he is having a good iowa so far? >> this is six years has been leading up to this moment. ready to do it. they will make it stick. >> he has momentum. some say he could win. >> i wouldn't surprised if ron paul won in iowa. >> bret: how about that? up next, the fight over the budget, payroll tax cut extension. back in washington on capitol hill. back here in sioux city after >>> it's here, it's dead. and they don't want the vote on it. you think maybe they don't want to vote on it because republican senators are kind of embarrassed or ashamed of what is in the bill? i would think so. >> i'd say speaking of embarrassment, we're doing it omnibus again. the reason we're doing omnibus again on the eve of chaste is because we haven't passed our appropriation bills. we have had almost as many show boats in the senate this year, equal nu
