months, maybe two years, 1932, roughly, when he was emotionally very invested in the destiny, political destiny was soviet union. it was not public acts, did not go to the neatings or write anything on behalf of the party, but felt this emotional affiliation, and that you sense in the book reviews and writings at the time. then, as would many in his generation, there's break with that, and he is self-critical and critical as a party, and goes to a period of l really extended disillusionment, i would say, from 1932 to 1941-42, reluctant, when the second world war begins, when american involvement because he feels it might be a reassertion of american capitalism, and even in 1939, not quite deeply in the rad dale orbit, but 194 # 1-42 that changed, and by the end of the second world war, he's approaching an establishment liberal voice. a long progression for him and, for him and his career, thee most important political progression he experienced. >> michael kimmage, in your book titled "conservative turn" what do you mean by that? >> conservative turn is something i feel largely true for the time period. it's a

this isn't the first time unions have launched a street smart political push. >> reporter: no. seiu is particularly adept at it. they did the bart strike in the east bay and i'm not sure that worked out so well but in the past, they started dot-coms, wall street and at one time they even got into a back and forth with police and fire saying that they were getting too much money. so they are very savvy and powerful and if they can't win it on the streets, they will try to win it at the board of supervisors because they do know politics and pr. >> there you go. all right, phil matier, thank you. >>> new tonight, bart unveileddities fleet of the future but there are concerns that the new train cars might be more difficult for the disabled. kpix 5's ann notarangelo is live at justin herman plaza with that part of today's story. ann. >> reporter: ken, there are about 2500 people who have already come through this model of the new car to get a look seeing things like the new bike racks that will be on some of the cars. bart is touting this as the train of the future. they are saying i

business, by politicians going after workers and their ability to have a voice on the job and in politics. >> do unions though bare some of the responsibility for not keeping up with the times? >> absolutely. we haven't done all the things we should be doing either. we get pretty i'd say comfortable at times. instead of reaching out i'll point to a couple of examples young people. the workplace was changing around young people and we would go to them and say come and join us. and they would say yes unions are really good but it doesn't quite fit my circumstance. that's all right. we know but come and join us anyway. now we're doing it differently. we're going to them and not asking them temg them what they need. we're asking them what they need us to be in order to meet some of our needs. so some of the problem is ours as well. >> we'll talk about your plans in just a second but overall how big a problem is it now? are we at a critical mass for unions? >> i think we're at a crisis state where wages are stag instant for workers they're being attacked. benefits are disappearing and unless unions come bac

in a city like detroit that has been a poster child for the housing crisis without solving a thing and giving it to unions -- >> this is a politicalay to the unions, isn't it? >> it's a terrible idea. i don't think it's going to happen. why? i think it would set an awful precedent. there are cities and municipalities all across the country facing this exact same problem, not as bad right now as detroit. but all over the place. i think to take money that is earmarked for housing and to fill it in for the stopgap measure would be a very bad idea. it's going to take shared sacrifice across the entire country -- >> the union profited from many of these contracts and many of these pensions. people pay dues into unions. why aren't unions not kicking in the money? >> that's the point a lot of republicans in michigan who are supporting a relief package to detroit to the tune of $860 million are saying, we're already putting in $350 million in state aid, we're getting additional moneys from foundations and grants and others, bringing it up to $800 million. at least put in as the unions making billions in dues, the $100 million you want for

the organizational tactics that unions have been able to use in the past as their memberships decline, as the public has southward on some of the soured that unions has taken. >> the issue of political vs. public unions. in public unions politicians are the ones negotiating on the other side. they are not negotiating with their money. and they give the unions the moon so they get reelected, of course, by the time it becomes a union with these contracts, they have long gone -- they are long gone on different jobs. >> this is totally where the action is with unions right now. they are dying in the private sector, maybe 6%, 7% of the private sector workforce. in the public sector, government unions they where 35%. so it's a very very big deal for them. and that's why the fight in wisconsin a few years ago when governor scott walker passed a reform bill was -- it was just armageddon because i think the government unions, the public sector unions realized that if they were to begin a decline, similar to what's happened in the private sector, then unions would be a completely on the way out. >> byron it's a different thing though if you are negotiating with a politician, with a public uni

a huge part of the reason it's been too much is the public employee unions have taken over lock stock and barrel the politics of the state. since 2000 the california teachers association has spent $300 million to influence elections and lobbying in the state of california and behind them is the service employees international union at about $150 billion, and then the correction will officers, the prison guards which is a big player in california politics. between those three public employee unions these public employee unions have spent half a billion dollars in california politics since 2000. comparison, one of the biggest lobbies in the state is chevron oil, big oil particularly in santa barbara. that is bad. they were involved in that oil spill which happened 30 or 40 years before you were born but it still is a feature in california politics that keeps us from exploiting offshore oil and even exploiting energy resources and the rest of the state that could balance our budget and created great economy and all these jobs. we have a terrific environmentalism as a result of that spill that stops that progres
