. >> you work for seiu. they endorsed hillary clinton. my sense is you also support hillary?n active role in this decision in terms of how they decided to endorse? were you happy with that endorsement when it came out? yes, i do. over 70% of our rank and file membership have supported her for president. >> why -- how important do you think this primary election is, when you look at these two candidates, how strongly felt is your preference, in terms of their -- what you think they will do for working people? >> it is very important. in hillary, standing with the union is very important for us because she's always been there for us, as a senator and as a secretary. i think it's very very important that us as union have her support. >> there's been this big controversy or really interesting fight about the minimum wage in this country, raising the minimum wage. new york, a lot of labor activism went into raising that minimum wage. it finally happened. andrew cuomo opposed it at first and came around and signed it. how important do you think that success was? >> it's very import

the seiu is funding the fight for 15. the sei has backed hillary clinton.hey want to go to these retailers, these fastfood chains and these discount retailers and save if you unionize we get dues and we agree to give you a lower page bill, that's going on. they're not thinking about the people. they're thinking about -- >> could i not disagree more. it's true to say we wouldn't have any minimum wage nor a weekend nor family leave act without unions and labor movement that is a true statement. to say the increase in minimum wage is due to unions and tie thing into an antiunion argument is not accurate -- >> the fine for 15 -- >> in new york -- [overlapping speakers] >> if you look that -- [overlapping speakers] >> one at a time. >> there's their right to do. so when you're talking about middle class and lower middle class people being hurt on a regular basis and they're also even beyond that, not -- >> [overlapping speakers] >> one second. one second. i want to bring to -- >> bernie sanders -- >> i think there's three percent of the work force, half teenager

i was proud to stand on the stage with governor cuomo, with seiu and others who have been leading this battle, and i will work as hard as i can to raise the minimum wage. i always have. i supported that when i was in the senate. but what i have also said is we've got to be smart about it. just the way governor cuomo was here in new york. if you look at it, we moved more quickly to 15 in new york city, more deliberately toward 12, 12.50, upstate, then to 15. that is exactly my position of it's a model for the nation. that's what i will do as president. go as quickly as possible to get to 15. >> thank you. >> i am sure a lot of people are very surprised to learn that you supported raising the minimum wage to 15 bucks an hour. >> no, wait a minute, wait a minute. >> that's just not accurate. >> i have stood on the debate stage. >> wolf -- >> i have stood on the stage with senator sanders eight different times. >> senator, please. >> if we can raise it to 15 in new york or los angeles. >> secretary, the viewers -- >> let's do it. >> if you're both screaming at each other, the viewers won't

of this board or these managers anyway beyond that concerning the rfps and the whole process which seiufected how this is done it is fill seems unclear and not a responded to when i talk about well will you had a partner or combination of partners or consultant or hedge fund to fund consultants how do those questions get prioritized and answered how do they become part of discussion and who makes the decisions does the staff or the board seiu still has all the concerns i don't see how you can move forward with more of a conversation on those specific things. >> i'm rudy reading testimony public comment from silva alvarez not able to be here like patrick i'll concerned the understated fees in appendix b and the april 13th memo translates to 9. $22 million on a hedge funds investment one billion dollars over 5 years flat fees will amount to 27 point plus to 40 plus an enormous amount why not the fees included in the analysis i'm concerned the finalist over discretionary and non-discretionary none show should make the investment without the boards approval this investment consultants r you

commissioner ortiz-cartagena commissioner tour-sarkissian commissioner yee-riley and commissioner seiu no that motion passes 6, one and so commissioners because i am able to write a more eloquent response i do think that there might be some benefit for you including some additional comments to the supervisors in guidance around the fact that one that neither the - i mean, we don't know by the fact that the economic analysis report comes out the day before the hearing didn't allow for either the decision maker body and the public let lesson it commission to take a look at the economic analysis. >> didn't allow for those who have experience running the businesses this effects to weigh in and provide our wisdom there that item or that any oat items that is rushed in agreement with commissioner it puts you us in an awkward position to be pitted against the employees and that also is frankly you know is an affront for the small business owners of that county so the supervisors in doing something like that puts us in a bad light and will pass it regardless of where we is so they'll add injur

and so, wolf, she consistently stood with governor andrew cuomo and seiu 1139 and the entire coalitionly successfully led to a new york state budget that will raise the minimum wage here in new york to $15 an hour. i thought she was consistent. senator sanders continues to try to obfuscate issues and put forward ideological purity that is unfortunate. >> she also suggested, an issue close to your heart, you are a new yorker. a lot of guns that are used in violent crimes wind up coming from vermont where gun laws are obviously a lot less strict than they are in new york. when you heard her say that, we did the fact checks. you read all the fact checks, and very few of those guns that's are shown to be involved in criminal activity in new york actually do come from vermont. >> well, this was a very important issue because the views of senator clinton are very different than bernie sanders who is out of touch with the overwhelming majority of new yorkers who embrace the strong gun control laws we have here throughout the state. the problem that we confront is that the overwhelming majorit

where the unions are simply trade- based or other ones that operate across industry, like--like i'm an seiu member, for example, right? or are they just sort of anachronistic, sort of workers' vanguard spectacles that we can just kind of throw aside? >> good. wonderful question. let me try to answer. and again, rather than my spinning out my own thoughts about that, let me start from a concrete example. the steelworkers union here in the united states, one of the largest unions in the afl-cio, here, stunned the world of american labor two years ago when they issued a press release announcing the formal alliance-- i'll use their words--the formal alliance between the steelworkers union of the united states, which--i don't know how many members it has, but in the hundreds of thousands, big union--with mondragon, the corporate--that huge, successful worker's self-directed enterprise in spain. and i remember many of us were taken aback.
