people who oppose the union but the people who support the union but say we have a chance to get out of paying fees to the union, and so, although not for ideological reasons, we're going to pass and we're not going to pay dues either. mr. messenger: well, i submit, your honor, it's immaterial why an individual does not wish to support union advocacy. the first amendment prohibits the government from probing into individuals' subjective belief. justice ginsburg: so you're saying that you do then recognize that the unions can be in a position where they will be -- that the resources available to them could be substantially diminished? mr. messenger: well, to -- to the degree to which the union resources are diminished by individuals exercising their first amendment right not to subsidize that union, i submit that's a perfectly acceptable result. the -- justice alito: does -- does the constitution require states to demand that unions provide services for non-members? for example, is there a constitutional requirement for a union to handle the grievances of non-

in it lincoln emphasized saving the union without emancipation. abolitionist, elizabeth katy stanton wrote privately, i really blushed for my country when i read that message. but all of lincoln's messages have been the most order. despite such negative and condescending reaction to lincoln during his first year in office, a few abolitionists undertook direct efforts to persuade him to adopt the emancipation policies. these evers continued during 1862 to staged a more person relationship between abolitionists and the president. key to this was a smithsonian institution lecture series that brought leading abolitionists to washington. lincoln met with some of these abolitionists at the white house. at these meetings abolitionists acted respectfully toward lincoln. he in turn treated them po lightly while suggesting that they had a limited and impractical point of view. the overall abolitionist summation of lincoln improved when in april, 1862 he signed a congressional measure to immediately end slavery in the district of columbia. during the followin

south said if you pass that, we will break up the union. lincoln had announced that he would introduce the bill, and then said given the fact that i have lost my supporters, i will not. but he went further than most of in congress to frame legislation to abolish slavery, not just the slave trade. 1837, state legislatures in the south appealed to state legislatures in the north, and some northern states as well appealed to other states, saying please condemn the abolitionist movement. the state of illinois, the illinois house of representatives in which lincoln sat voted 77-6 to condemn the abolitionist movement. six guys had the nerve to go against the mainstream. one of those with lincoln, and lincoln came from central illinois, where anti- abolitionist sentiment was particularly strong. of those 6, 2 went a step further and issued a statement that was published in the house journal, saying slavery is based on injustice and bad policy. of those 2, 1 was lincoln. of those two, the only one that was running for reelection was lincoln, so he r

and maintaining the union rather than confrontation over slavery in kansas territory. nevertheless, pro-slavery democrats charged that lincoln shared the views of garrison and frederick douglass. some republicans known as radical republicans did share some abolitionist views. they corresponded with abolitionists and attended abolitionist meetings. lincoln during the 1856 presidential campaign rejected the radical's example. he supported the republican p t party platform, it upheld congress's power to prohibit slavery in territories but did not opposed a mitting new slave secretary of labor states to the union. it didn't call for repeal of the fugitive stave law in 1850, action against abolition in the district of columbia. as lincoln spoke in support of the republican presidential nominee, john c. free monmont dd that abolitionists affected his party's agenda. when james buchanan won the election, lincoln blamed freemont's loss in part on the democrats' claim that freemont was an abolitionist. in 1858, lincoln ran againstste a seat in the united states senate. during th

these states never left the union, and he wanted them back in the hands of the union people. and he had them that were not radical. so that, i think, is important to note. thank you.

course of all cannot become a member of the european union but i let me point out that you should be reading carefully what the documents of the european union say they do have an agreement of association with costs of on but that's if you could say so it's a mini agreement they agreed with the course of or not as a state but as a territory with a spare. way of marking it exactly for the reason that there are five members that have not recognized kosovo yet that this agreement hasn't been ratified by all countries but was recognized by the european parliament we should be very clear on that if there is no agreement in the union if we don't reach a compromise it is very difficult for kosovo to become part of the european union and they should be told so someone should be telling them that in this sense some feel that this case was finished in two thousand and eight no well it has not been finished if that was the case why would they be pressuring us now why is it that important for them what we have to say obviously this is fair is not over yet. ok let'

he wanted the states, never left the union, he wanted them back in the hands of the union people and he had them. that were not radical. that i think, is important to note. thank you. [applause] announcer:

if anyone thinks that for the sake of joining the european union serbia would recognize course of all under the conditions that they impose right now and not on the basis of dialogue and compromise of their very wrong who wants a compromise because the solution proposed by cost of all of the indians is not a real solution. but. i understand their arguments and their very logical matter of the fact they demand maybe not. the german foreign minister himself but the e.u. in general that's one of the demands that you have to recognize the independence what's more important for serbia session to you by twenty twenty five or recognizing. let me repeat once again no one has officially said this to us the european union cannot really stand by a position like that when it has five members that do not even recognize course we cannot expect spain to be more serbian oriented than the serbs themselves but no one can demand those things of serbia is humiliating obscurity serbia six good relations want to join c european union but what they're telling us they should be telling pristina as well they

well first thing i don't think that everyone who's criticizing the ever closer union of the european union is a far right party i mean you to put this into the middle of a sentence so i can make a comment about it but i will we hear you're a realistic parties i've just lost my my ear so i can hear and learn are. you back again so this is these up here or european realistic parties they're rising and all of europe and this has not been predicted by by anybody people do not want to have this ever closer union they don't want to have the united states of europe and this is what's all about all those euro skeptic parties rising in all of europe that's the first thing to say it's not right wing extremism it's just to be realistic about where people are people in poland as people and angry as bigger than people in and they some part of europe they don't want to have the united states if europe when we are going towards that we can we can see what mcallen macula coming out with we have heard the speech of this date for the state of the union of the younker last year so we know what this whol

michael: the government is the same as the union. the government has decided specifically to delegate the responsibility for managing the workplace to a collective body of citizens. bob: they're a private organization, but they are a private organization. government unions are a private organization. erin: let me jump in here. all right, what is the impact? michael, we'll go with you here. what is the impact if the supreme court rules against the union in this case? michael: unions existed before there was agency fee. they will exist after. they will be weaker for a while. they will also be more militant, more insistent on representing workers. and it will be a disruption in the same way that if suddenly the supreme court decided that philadelphia can't collect taxes because its actions are political and there are taxpayers in philadelphia who don't agree with the mayor on union issues, or don't agree with the mayor on this issue. it's exactly the same issue on the basis of principle. it'll be disruptive, but the unions will adapt and

it is not actually true that everybody benefits from what the union does. workers would prefer to represent themselves in negotiating with the government. they think that if you're an above average worker you might prefer to be judged based on your individual merit instead of being lumped in with everybody else and so if that's the case you consider the union's representation to be a harm. then you're harmed again because you have to pay for it on top of that. so these people aren't free riders, they are just injured by the union. that could also be true if your political ideas differ from what the union advocates for. our client, mark janice, objects for things that the union is forced to fund, and has advocated for it now. it is a terrible fiscal mess, deeply in debt, so he thinks it's wrong for his union to be advocating for billions more in government spending and advocating for tax increases to pay for that. the free rider argument assumes that every worker only cares about his own narrow self interest and that money matters most to everybody. but of c

the european union is not many my view an unstoppable train, the european union is not in my view an s federalism. brexit shows that eu is not an irreversible certainty. in many member states, political parties at the centre, the centre—left, the centre—right, parties with a long—standing european tradition are under pressure. the european commission tonight praised theresa may for at least making clear she wanted a free trade agreement, rather than a version of single market membership. now, the work will begin on seeing just how ambitious they can be about that trade deal. with me in the studio the finest brexit panel you can imagine — iain dale, nina schick, paul mason and suzanne evans — to chew over the stuff we haven't yet tackled. brexit, remainers right and left. very nice of you to come to over and chew up the stuff we haven't tackled. i will give the first panelist the response, who tells me tonight, they do not feel compromised by what has been offered today? i don't feel compromised by it. took a pause, but go on. i only paused because when i watched the speech, i am going

that is what i think partly drives the story of the soviet union because the soviet union was not able to adapt. two, critical in reference to today, the domestic economic revivals were combined with international adaptations in the 1980's. without taking the detail, let me mention this took place in trade, monetary and exchange rates, g-7 policy coordination, developing country debt and reforms. and so this economic revival was not based on a narrow economic nationalism. it also wasn't based on another idea that was current and has faded in history, the new international economic order, a set of economic planning model. the geopolitical analysis that move into the economic sphere often pay attention to economic strength, but what they have a hard time recognizing their is there is a dynamic to the power. part of it is a systemic ability to adapt and to change. third, the ussr could not adapt. it was very dependent on energy resources and prices. that is still true today. i note it in the paper about 20% of their gdp, 50% of the budget, and maybe 80% of their exports. so it is a huge d

european union britain is the sixth biggest economy in the world is an important trading partner with the european union. it has a law that we have in common i think with our european neighbors we're keen to kind of maintain those relationships with the european union the european people as it were and as i've said i think it's in both our interest to find a way through this where the labor party differs of course to the tories is that you know we haven't got these. ideologically driven absolutely crazed. horde bricks tears who want to sever any relationship it seems. with the european union in its entirety and do indeed in my view want to create a deregulated tax haven but we wouldn't take a very very different approach to that and we're determined to make sure the as i've said that we have a brics it that is in the interests of the many not the few your colleagues of yours in parliament have been on this program recently talking about british exports to saudi arabia which is we in again bombing yemen and stand y

the union very badly lost the strike and then how the union was innocent broken and conditions got bad with workers working 12 12 hours a day 13 ds in a row. then they get half a day off and they were switched shifts to the night shift for two weeks. can you talk about the importance of homestead and how it made things so much worse? >> share. you know, what's interesting about it is homestead is an offensive by carnegie because workers had in his you accumulated too much power. this is a very well unionized factory which was the text we most, the most largest or second-largest steel mill and the united states. workers had created a sliding scale so they got paid by the ton that keyed into the price of the products the fact was making. so every game in efficiency or every improvement in the process come workers got a big chunk of that and they controlled production processes. the mayor of homestead was a unionist, and carnegie wanted the ability to control his own mill and to be the low cost producer. the carnegie model is, and is going to survive the inevitable recession by being the

ert the can these families be trusted? it is a question that union marshal officials asked in many places. they worked to prevent families from traveling across the lines. there were restrictions affecting anybody trying to this war, buts in divided families got little understanding. they were deemed suspicious and not allowed to travel across the lines. it was a question, can these families be trusted? whoas asked by mail sensors would, when families try to send mail across the line, they would find their mail opened and read. there was a union policy that if you wanted to send a letter across the lines, not only did you have to pay the postage of both sides but your letter can only be one page long and it had to be focused only on family and domestic affairs. to the policy, it is supposed be benign. centersthese mail sounded a little troubling to see these warm sentiments being passed across the lines between family members. i will come back to that in a moment. this whole question, can families be trusted, it was asked of abraham lincoln and his e

he talks about the eurasian union every once in a while, but the eurasian union, the biggest importance is its symbolic importance more than its real importance, because i mentioned the sort of trade dispute between belarus and kazakhstan, we've had a border closure between keerz ig stan and kazakhstan. and problems over chief russian products flooding kazakhstan since the eurasian union started. this has been an unsuccessful, unhappy organization, and i think it's one where it's still important symbolically to the kremlin, but it doesn't seem to have the teeth of what it was supposed to have which was supposed to be the response of putin to the european union. >> we have a question here. thank you for being patient. >> hello. pete. i want to know to what extent does putin believe protests outside is driven by domestic discontent. you said any time he sees social police cal discontent, is there an effort to distract or is an effort to rechannel negativity he may experience outside to the west? >> well, it's a question that everybody here could answer. anybody particularly of the country

tonight the slightly longer brags that britain wants it will get today the chief negotiators for the european union and britain and now they've agreed on a two year transition for the u.k. to complete its exit but there is still no guarantee that breaks it is a guarantee we'll get more from our correspondent in london also coming up no pull back at the border turkey promises to push on with its offensive against the kurds in syria now that the city of afferent has been seized and one hundred fifty thousand people displaced and western leaders greet vladimir putin's reelection as russian president with a ambivalence germany says it expects russia to remain a difficult partner with putin in showing. it's good to have you with us tonight we know that it will be a slightly longer divorce britain and the european union have laid out plans for a two year transition period following now the deal includes concessions from the u.k. which will allow it to stay in the siegal marketing customs union until the end of twenty twenty for business isn't ordinary citizens this is good news but for the future of brak

has been clear that it is leaving the customs union. the e.u. has formed a customs union with other countries but those arrangements of life -- arrangements applied to the u.k. means that more countries can sell more into the u.k. without making it easier for us to sell to them. that would not be compatible with a meaningful, independent trade policy. it would mean we have less control than we do now over our trade in the world. we thought seriously about how our commitment to a frictionless border could best be delivered and we set out two potential options for our custom's arrangement. option one is a customs partnership between the u.k. and the e.u. at the border, the u.k. would apply the same tariffs for those intended for the e.u. we would know that all goods thering the e.u. via u.k. with enter the e.u. after paying the custom's fees. we would allow the e.u. to apply it on trade policy for goods intended for the e.u. market. visitor private means that both sides in trust of the system. option two would be a highly streamlined customs arrang

did the union army and the nauf sri, while it is more liberal during the war advancing, did they look forward to the presidents for the war of independence? and why did the navy completely reverse itself after the war? >> that's a very good question. i'm not sure i have an answer for that. so i'll let, if anyone else wants to take that. >> i have a piece of an answer, which is that blacks had been serving in the navy. i don't know starting when, but they were in an established part of the navy as the civil war started. and the black role in the navy was used as an argument as to why blacks should be allowed to become soldiers. so during the war, they do become that. but it's not surprising in a way that the percentages were lower in the army than in the navy because in a way the navy started a step ahead at the outset of the civil war. but the piece after the war, i don't know as to why the navy becomes sort of a lily white institution by the time of theodore roosevelt. >> yeah. i can address that. there was a quota before the war in relation to the navy and it was 4%. and there were

hugh williams who is on britain's exiting the european union select committee you're welcome to going underground so aside from the term old your speeches this week theresa may in the past twenty four hours bonnie on wednesday take us back to how your committee's meeting was with michel barnier the use chief negotiator of a breakthrough well he was quite stern interestingly when we've met him before he's spoken in english most of the time but he's found out for the twenty minutes telling is often french about the u.k. position and clearly you know they're the building up to a very hard position as has become apparent over the last few days you know it's interesting for me as a mere backbencher from wales to be there right of the sense out of his hole and in civilian people like. the other day was a former trade commissioner. who was the chief negotiator. trade negotiator formally done zero or what in the wake of what he had to say to somebody said the other they were swapping a three course meal for the promise of a packet of crisps but he told us various other things. not just grist

sign that like you mentioned, lesser interest in the union? thank you. >> there wasn't a whole lot of discussion in the russian media about nazarbayev's trip to washington. i think they tried to pretend it wasn't happening. part of the message he gave -- and i think russia's war in ukraine has really put a lot of countries in very difficult position, including those oriented toward russia naturally simply because they don't want to pick sides. want the space and breathing room. i met with several people from that delegation. part of their message was they want to be mediator, somehow figure out way to play a helpful role. that was largely what the message was. another part of that message, i'll say it here, the message was to the trump administration and to congress because people were going up there, desire for the united states not to disengage. there's a sense that united states has disengaged from across the region. but central asia is not part of the eastern partnership, it's an area that feels often neglected by the united states. and so

the floor. that was mostly defeated. there were unions in the soviet union but was less dangerous for a worker to criticize the manager. in fact when people are executed in the soviet union it is the manager not the worker. often it is justified but to retain that notion to say to have that machine to benefit the whole side. the only place we have this experimentation now is china no sentiments that are fascinating so i don't know if we will ever see that moment again if people ever raise these questions in such a profound way but that was a fascinating part looking at that system because they did get raised in very sophisticated raise -- ways. >> so the story that you tell is looking backwards so manufacturing in the story it doesn't change that much it changes location essentially on the disempowered workers of that connection between manufacturing and authoritarianism actually becomes greater the factory is not a democracy so in the modern world manufacturing is more and more authoritarian practice from that global perspective. so here

serbia was firmly on course to join the european union just two decades after being a pariah state by the west yet the legacy of war during the ninety's is putting a roadblock in belgrade. was old question of kosovo could still its excess want to be a prepared to do to secure the membership what happens if it's forced to choose between old alliances and new ones and at one point during negotiations we'll build great finally draw the line. for i said that it's really great to have you on our program one more time it's been a couple of years already lots to talk about so a president who wants to join the european union but he also says that there's no way he will allow serbian russian relations to go sour now you know and russian relations right now are not at its best and we don't know when they will get better so seeing how all the other e.u. members fall in line regarding sanctions against russia why do you think that you will be able to defy brussels when the time comes. at a time. in the world. so when i was in the white house and talk to the national security advisor mcmaster he l
