the company to the union is codifying current law. is not an argument against the p.r.o. act. it's an argument against the our labor relations as they have been for decades. the gentlelady that if she would like to join me in writing a law that would access to rs to have union organizers in the workplace, i would be glad to do that with her, and then we wouldn't need a law that allows gain access to unions the only way they can under our at home or on the phone. workers no provides right to have access to union in their workplace. it's pretty unusual among countries, and if the gentlelady is serious about feeling like to better for workers interact with the union at work rather than at home, that would to wonderful discussion have for another day. i reserve. the gentleman has the only time remaining. you yieldin? mr. levin: i yield back. -- thechair: the gentleman has only time remaining. are you yielding back? mr. levin: i yield back. the chair: the question is on the amendment offered by the gentlelady from north carolina. aye.e in favor say those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the noes have it. ms. fo

by the time ronald reagan became president, one in four americans was in a labor union. by the time president reagan left office, one in 10 american workers were in a labor union. the balance between labor and capital is the essence of american democracy. it is unbalanced and risks our democracy at this moment. the ability for american workers to organize and have a voice in the outcomes not just of their work but of their retirement and the benefit of their families and communities has been attacked since president reagan was in office. evidence is clear that the rise in inequality has coincided with the decline in union membership. by most estimates, declining unionization accounted for about a third of the increase and inequality which i speak in the 1980's and 1990's. to ooh dress inequality you have to include working people. to have include the right to organize. labor unions are universally recognized as providing major boost to employees' wages and benefits. sadly, the best evidence we have on this trend is by comparing union dense states like the one i'm proud to

really good argument that it was the most promising election-year for organized labor in a long time. the president was weak. there's a big democratic field, so unionsad a lot of candidates to choose from. the presidential candidates all really competed very strongly for union endorsements. they all put out labor plans that are far more progressive than anything we have seen in recent u.s. history. so unions i think are well-positioned. and now you have this mega-millionaire jumping into the race and mike bloomberg, as you pointed out, is not well-liked by unions, especially in new york. unions that dealt with him when he was the mayor of new york. it is fair to say he is not a great friend of unions, not super popular with unions that have dealt with him. so it is this wild card in the race. it is almost like a cartoon battle now in the democratic primary, especially if bernie sanders ends up being the leading candidate as he is now. if he keeps up with that and bloomberg buys his way to the race, have such a strong contrast of visions for the democratic party and organized labor between our people going -- are people going to back the money or are

do you vote for or against the right to organize the labor union bill? caller: i don't know -- guest: i don't know which vote you are speaking about, but do i support right to work in states, and there was a recent effort to nationalize opposition to write to work, i believe states can have those laws and i don't believe the federal government should say we are going to undo what states have done. caller: do you believe that right to work lowers raises -- wages? is it better to have a union or nonunion household? guest: we have both. my father and father-in-law are retired teamsters. they ended up with a lot of -- with lower wages because they put a lot into the pension funds and there is concerns about pension funds. i have an uncle who is a retired mine worker. on the other, i have family you have worked and saved for their retirement and they kept or take-home pay all through the system and it was not going into the pension fund. both can be good, and even in a union situation you can have bad outcomes because the pension fund can be underfunded. host

you know accepted by the labor unions united states this new agreement and this is actually created a new scenario for free and fair elections within the unions in mexico something we haven't had for a long time and so this might create you know a new wave of labor activism and strength of the working class in mexico which could be a very good secondary effect of the atomic right now you mentioned an interesting cycle there a moment ago you're saying that in latin america you had lived to the left in various countries bolivia and others and now that they've gone and mexico so much static and now they've gone right certainly in brazil they've got a new what you could call right wing leaders. up there and that mexico is now got embraced a left a leftist government but this is kind of a cycle in latin america we've seen a long time it goes from the hard right to the to the hard left back and forth for a long long time the left comes into power and a lot of money is printed. social programs are in acted and people get fed up because they feel like they are needs to be a return to some kin

he's gonna take head of the labor union has his finance minister. in other words, they will go back with the old socialist policy and i'm going forward with free-market policies that are meant to address every city. we have a tremendous plan. >> and what is your plan ahead of you. what are your economic proposals going forward. >> six things. the most important thing is we have to drop, we have to have a drastic reduction and were going to do that, that's two things. the third thing is were going to have a massive investigation in our health system even though it's ranked by number for the world. just the other day, i want to bring it to be number one. massive investments in our health system, support tremendous support for small businesses, continuing the development, there shouldn't be any difference in you do that with fast rules and open land for development and equalizing social services. in the last thing israel has to be number one in the world in the leading high-tech fields that are coming up. that's big data in artificial intelligence, cond

the labor union vote in the battleground states, they have higher health care coverage rates than thee. they have less uninsured than the national average. they will not like single payer. we keep hearing this analysis, chris. i would like your take on this. that voters feel the economy is unfair against them. but then stories show voters don't want these big government fixes that sanders is selling. kaiser health polls found same result. battleground voters don't want it. >> there is a little bit of schizophrenia with voters on some of these issues, they say, yeah, do you want free health care? of course i do. do you know how much it pays? maybe i haven't considered that. they have not begun to be the level of political advertising on what these proposals from bernie sanders would cost. but to the economy, liz, my worry here, that bernie sanders will make the skiddish stock market start to panic if he gets near the nomination. if they think a socialist can win, they might actually start to sell, sell and pull out of the economy, triggering recession just in time for the election. not

which means that the labor union's health care plans will be just fine, as they are for a while untilut how can you still deliver your message to the people with kind of like the grain of salt that has to come along with the realism of how much a president can do on this front and how can you spin that argument? citiest this this is a test of how well they'll be able to verbalize the pitch without the fear. >> nine days. >>> coming up for us, joe biden defends rival pete buttigieg amid anti-gay attacks from the right. when it comes to using data, everyone is different. which is why xfinity mobile created a different kind of wireless network. one that saves you money by letting you design your own data - giving you more choice and control compared to other top wireless carriers. now you can choose unlimited, shared data, or mix lines of each and switch any line, anytime. no one else lets you do that. design your own data with xfinity mobile. it's wireless reimagined. simple. easy. awesome. >>> 2020 presidential hopeful pete buttigieg getting some backup today from one of his democratic

did you vote for or against the right to organize the labor union bill? >> i don't know which vote you're speaking about, so, but if you're talking about do i support right to work in states, for example, in and there was a recent effort to nationalize opposition to right to work, i believe states can have those laws, and i don't think the federal government should say we're going to undo what states have done who have passed right to work laws. if that's their -- >> do you believe that right to work lowers wages or unions, is it better to have union household or a nonunion household? >> well, in my family, we've got both. my grandpa, or papa, as i call him, a retired teamster, my father-in-law is a retired teamster, he's got a great pension, he ended up with lower wages for a lot of his career because he put a lot into the pension fund. and right now, there's a lot of concern, because central state's pension fund and some of the mine workers pension fund, i've got an you think whole is a retired mine worker caught up in underfunded pensions there. on the

the society. and i should say that anti union sentiment in the united states among elites is so strong that the fundamental couper of labor rights and the basic principle in the international labor organization is the right of free association which would mean the right to form unions u.s. has never ratified. so i think the us may be alone among major sadies and that respect. it's considered so for. out of the spectrum of american politics it literally has never been considered. herber that the us has a. very violent labor history as. society. but the labor movement had been very strong by the 1920 s. . period not unlike today it was virtually crushed robert reich. by the mincer is beginning to reconstruct. the dozen or is felt he himself was rather sympathetic to progressive legislation that would be in the benefit of the general population but he had to get it passed so he informed labor leaders and others forced me to do it. what he meant is it going to help demonstrate we're going to protest develop the labor movement. when the packers pressures fish and i'll be able can through the legislation you know i am not for a

[shouting] >> under "medicare for all," people will be able to go to any doctors they want, go to any hospital that they want. now, let me deal with the issue that is on your mind. >> how do we pay for it? >> because we spend so much for health care your employer is spending a lot on your health care. liz: heckling was so bad the union president had to step in. watch this. >> i believe in town hall meetings but we're going to let candidates speak without any sort of heckling. liz: 2/3, look at this of swing voters in pennsylvania, wisconsin, and minnesota, michigan, they don't like it. they say it is a bad idea. labor unions go on strike for years and decades fighting for higher and better health coverage. now sanders wants to wipe it away. >> wants to wipe it away for them. he will wipe it away for the vast majority of the population not immunized. something he doesn't really disclose in his public comments how are we going to pay for it. not just that we will

the perogue it is narrower with those who own and manage is so good. i should say that anti union sentiment in the united. to money lead to is so strong. that the fundamental couper of labor rights in the basic principle in the international labor organization is the rate of free association which would mean the right to form unions u.s. has never ratified. but i think the us may be alone among major societies in their respect. it's considered so far out of the spectrum of american politics it literally has never been considered. or that the us has a long very violent labor history as. a society. but the labor movement had been very strong about the 1920 s. in a period not unlike today it was virtually crushed robert reich. by the mincer is beginning to reconstruct. franklin delano roosevelt he himself was rather sympathetic to chris if legislation that would be an invention of the general population but he had to somehow get it passed so he informed labor leaders and others forced me to do it. what he meant is you go out and demonstrate we're going to protest develop the labor movement. when the packer pressures fission and be able to get through the legislation you know

liz: text messages, phone calls, records of the bernie bros bullying the labor union. ders saying, i don't believe them. >> the idea that anybody who works with me would make a vicious attack against the union leader just because we disagree on the issue is incomprehensible to me and i'm not sure that's true. liz: let's show what the nevada independents put up. chris, take this on. >> conservatives have been the victim of radical attacks in the streets in berkeley shutting downtowns and ports. it's interesting to see elizabeth warren finally clue into what's going on with the level of passion, inner and vitriol coming from an activist base. hoops. liz: he's trying to downgrade his cop number of. your take on this? >> he wasn't an 18-year-old communist. he was a 40, 50, 60-year-old communist. very different. liz: you don't believe him saying i am following the nordic model. >> no. liz: and still not saying nicolas maduro of venezuela should step down. >> of course not. liz: thank you for watching. we had a jam packed hour. lou dobbs is next. [♪] lou: good evening, presid

and whatever the ads up from it doesn't come close to adding up to belonging to this workplace, the labor union that shut down. that alienation is what leads to, largely it people looking for other things to belong to. sometimes it's a street gang, sometimes it's basis, sometimes it's white nationalism, sometimes it wearing the red marker hat. these are people who don't belong to anything and the bitter irony for a lot of political left and there are a handful of liberal writers who have written this, somebody said i thought they were of a country and we'd all get along better. fewer people belong to a church, the most asked accessible institution for and more people are going to go along in one way or another and would cause more strife or not lead them toward the good life. that's my argument. >> there are variations. i think both of our books talk about this and me less explicitly than you, the loss of a child is what cascade of everything. so in that sense, i'm very much on the left, the loss of all these other forms of meaning, the original sense the loss of the factory which provided buil

you guys know if we do what i'm talking about in doing the building this country, the highest percentage unionized labor in the united states since 1945. >> that's what we need to. >> it is. something has gone really wrong. people think breaking union is way to break working people. >> we've got to fight back. >> absolutely. >> it's good to see. thanks for your help. >> my pleasure. >> were going to take a walk.

strong, obviously, as last go around but a bit of a hiccup in nevada in what's going on there with the labor unionere. here's what he said about personal attacks being launched in his name. >> let me be very clear. anybody making perm attacks against anybody else in my name is not part of our movement. we don't want them. i'm not so sure to be honest with you that they are necessarily part of our movement. you understand the nature of the internet. it's a strange world out there. >> listen, jeff, this is something of a new tack, new framing from bernie sanders saying that he doesn't really know if the bernie bros are -- >> at his own rallies in new hampshire that evening of his victory party when pete buttigieg came on television, you know, crowds were screaming wall street pete which isn't the worst attack. of course they are sanders supporters and the same pattern bernie sanders has done. he's never said anything against them at his own rally. in interviews he's asked about it. he says of course i disavow that. we'll see how this goes. >> it hurt him very much in nevada because of the culinary u

your take on the labor culinary union not endorsing anybody as biden and sanders are going at it afterpaign attacking the union not supporting bernie's single-payer. when you heard of the fight, what do you think? >> kind of emblematic what is going on with their party. democrats are in disarray. there is a lot of infighting because they don't have a strong standard-bearer. they don't have a strong front-runner that can take on president trump in november because if you look at all of the these issues, who has been a better champion for the american worker than president trump? look at this economy. look at wages rising for the bottom income earners, the most, more than six times the rate as the top 1%. these are big, important changes that are happening and that's why democrats are in such disarray because they know none of these candidates can take on president trump or the amazing record of accomplishment in three short years. liz: the fundamental problem we keep hearing from analysts, democrats have a big gap between enthusiasm and electability. we hear it from analysts on fox news

i'm talking about doing and rebuild the country, and outside economy and a have the highest percentage of unionized labor in the united states since.

member of the kremlin led your asian economic union the country's politicians have failed to move as an important step towards development and cooperation facilitating the free flow of labor between the unions members but while entry into the e.u. certainly made life for kyrgyzstan the migrant workers a little easier others believe the move could lead to increased social tension was really it's a hero really in store for the people sure thought of or slow. supply was depleted machine energy is the original status and they had probably a law that there was a world citizen in the president put a swab of them with a garbage can watch plus there was a video release of it is. the idea for a quota system was also put forward at a gathering of nationalist activists in moscow last year it's a controversial proposal that has disturbing echoes of sentiments heard from far right groups in the us and europe yesterday as to reason. that the future took up the leaves possibly is why did not others you cannot see but who ever knew what to do when you have well you could just see the girlish to a new way of now with this new leaf. just move on you're to did only could you couldn't you ca

the culinary union. this is casinos in las vegas. other labor unions oppose it. ternational association of firefighters, flight attendants. afl-cio afl-cio richard trumka not in full support at all for a government take over this is the rust belt. these are the swing states, cory. we have tracked it. they have higher health insurance coverage than the national average. these are the battleground states. your reaction? >> very simple, if you want to keep your health insurance you should be able to. that is what barack obama said. we know it wasn't true. the president said we'll fix that problem. bernie sanders believes that government-run health care is the solution. it is a 12 trillion-dollar problem. people in nevada know, excuse me, those workers know specifically if bernie sanders is elected they lose their health insurance and they lose their collective bargaining under it. they will not support bernie. he has a real problem. we're seeing the quote-unquote establishment of the democratic party trying to steal this election from bernie sanders because they know

the founder and majority owner of our company, bloomberg lp. does bernie sanders have a labor problem? we saw some questions from the culinary labor unionhere. wants to abolish private health insurance, so is that the problem? richard: that is a big issue with the culinary. they did an evaluation of the various candidates. although culinary has not endorsed any democrat at this point, the analysis reflected very unfavorably to sanders and warren who are talking about medicare for all. , in terms ofs medical, is one of their crown jewels among their workers. that is not popular with them. i think that will hurt him with the culinary union, the largest and most effective union in the state of nevada. david: we don't spend too much time on logistics, but we have to given what happened in iraq. i understand they are not going butse the same app as iowa, we keep your rumblings that people have not been trained properly, some difficulties administratively. is there any truth to that in your opinion? richard: i don't know at this point. i will say this. i have been in a number of political campaigns. i think it is time to abandon the caucus sy

in the end nevada's powerful labor union decided not to endorse any democratic candidate. joining me now, the secretary treasurer of the culinary union in nevada. thanks nfor joining us. 2008 it endorsed barack obama. 2016 they refused to endorse either. why not this year? was there not a candidate with enough wide appeal? >> this time with the members, we work with all the members we represent and have town halls. i invite seven presidential candidates, have surveys, do they know -- let them know us, what is the issues they concerned. we did a poll. we work very, very, very close with the rank and file leaders and members. and we come out with the decision, official decision, to -- we putting on a score card to inside the hotel, with every issue, the members, they very concerned in what the presidential candidate, what they stand for. and that's what we come out with, the decision, officially to say, you know, we not endorse. we focus on protect every issue. >> basically nobody got a majority or an overwhelming majority among those union workers. but let's look at basicall

because the trains and metro are up and running again here in france does not mean the protests are over. labor unionsre back in the streets again today hoping to keep up the pressure on the government to drop planned reforms to the nation's public pension system. the french national assembly continues to debate the proposal and nettie massey is following the protests. massi is following the protests. reporter: hello from a cold, windy, and quiet boulevard in the south of paris. so far there are not many people out in the protest. it does not formally kickoff for normally5 minutes but by this time in the day there are four more people out in the street. i don't know if you can see behind me but there is a low turnout. some of the people we have been speaking to, some of the organizers, have been staying the students are on holiday so they hope some students may trickle out. numbertively low of people does not hit a point to decrease momentum. 10 of these consecutive protests against the government's plan to reform the pension system and this kind of as thee happens political process to get the reforms

come from organizing traditions that are much, much older and have the roots, in the cases in organized labor, the unions which were built by socialists, and they beat the perched at some point but there are socialist roots to all of these things. i think there is this real sort of -- manages to call that a people an alternative. it's not meant to say we don't want this, we don't want that. what socialism does it say there's something we're working toward. the other thing which is idiosyncratic to the u.s. is that we've never had for many of those reasons we've never had social democratic party. we've never had a socialist party. we've had social parties believe that contested for power. in meaningful ways we don't have the same thing that comrades in friend to do. there's just a different residence to socialism here that's a little more novel and a little more fun i think. that it is in a country where the socialists were the ones who cut your, implemented tuition hikes or cut public services in a number of ways. you don't have that hang up either of living with like a socialist party. that puts us in a

>> i do think on the one hand there are specific policy ideas, the views on how to reinvigorate a private-sector labor union in the 21st century with all the pressures that exist, economically and legally, to make them less confrontational and more compromising but also give new legal and institutional benefits that survive in the 21st century. the policies are in some ways out there. i agree with that critique because i do think most of the details of modern populist or class compromise politics would look like are not actually there. we have to figure that stuff out. i really worry about the political economy piece of this, you talk about navigating various worlds. mike and i were talking about this earlier. if you were to collect the right populist people who can engage with quantitative economics maybe 40% of them are on stage right now. you have another 60, it is a small group and there's a way the institutions of this town in particular are not well suited to this particular moment. i really worry about the fact that we don't actually have enough think tank intellectuals or administrators or people wh

speaker, i rise today to celebrate the role their organized labor has played in improving the lives of countless men and women. labor unions have been the driving force for all positive change for workers in modern history. as a former union member myself, i can attest to the power of -- that workers wield when they exercise their right to organize. and i have seen the incredible work that unions in minnesota have accomplished when they came together to fight for working rights. on average, a worker covered by a union contract earns over 13% more in wages than someone with similar education, occupation and experience in non-unionized workplace. and unions are about so much more than wages. they create solidarity across gender, race and ethnicity, race and religion. we need the pro act and why we must pass it this week and pressure the senate to do the same. it will address the challenges and attacks that labor unions have been facing for decades that have led to the erosion of wages. a spike in workplace discrimination and dangerous growth in inequality. the pro act will power back in the hands of workers where it be longs

labor state. it is the strongest of the first four in terms of the labor population. you have the culinary unioneally, really strong unions. what does it mean? that means that these unions have really created a lot of opportunities for the candidates to speak firsthand, one-on-one with their members. i mean we are seeing it just this past weekend. vice president joe biden was doing a back-of-the-kitchen tour of a casino to talk directly to culinary members. the unions are doing a lot of work around caucus education and turnout, and so you will see a really high percentage of their membership reflected in the caucus results. so some of the issues they care about, i mean similar to other states. they care about the economy. in nevada as we mentioned, it is an incredibly diverse state. latinos care about immigration, more so than other states. that will be an issue, an issue that's been popping up a lot especially over the last week has been health care. so where the candidates stand, if they're supporting medicare for all or building upon obamacare is really important to them. >> what do you think
