[indiscernible] >> is that what you are telling us? prime minister may: if you look at the white paper and the agreement we came to, the proposal is no longer a member of the customs union and put forward a proposal in the specific area of industrial goods. thathe customs arrangement can go along side that which borders.de africaonous will decide a africa -- will decide a friction border. prime minister may: what is the arrangement that will be best for the u.k. let's put that forward and let's argue for that in those negotiations. indiscernible] >> do you have enough time for your novel ideas? prime minister may: yes, we are all working, both sides in this negotiation. 29thll be leaving the e.u. of march, 2019. the implementation period for the future relationship. we are still working with the timetable of ensuring that w

, whether you're a union member or not. theabor unions may represent individuals in ways that are inconsistent with individuals' personaliews. so they should not be compelled to pay for speech they disagree with. tell us why you disagree with that rationale. >> so, the rationale is, frankly, i'm going to use justice kagan's words in her blistering, scathing dissent, where she said, for no apparent reason, the supreme court has overturned 41 years of precedeni that had been ed six times, where they ignored the 10th amendment and states' rights to govern labor relations as states saw fit, aause theyanted to weaponize the first amendment on behalf of moneyed intere, like in citizens united, where money became speech. >> the one point that just seems worthy of -- of staying on just for a second is this weaponization of the first amendment, because it -- it rings to some, especially those on the right, that the first amendment gets weaponized when the outcomes of the policies the left disagree with... >> so, i disagree with you on t

what were saying is a good would not enter the european union the stupid uk without the european union being expected. [inaudible] but suppose we have lower tariffs than the u.s. and europe has lower tariffs, for example. we would then collect the higher eu tariffs on the goods coming from the u.s. when they came in through liverpool or wherever. would we expect goods coming into the eu from new zealand, would we expect the eu to collect higher tariffs for us or would we expect them to apply their own eu tariffs. >> at the border. >> what i'm saying what the paragraph says is that this is not a question of someone physically handing cash over at the border. the way we would deal with it is a formula revenue agreement between the european union and the united kingdom which would reflect what was required for the goods entering the european union destined for the uk just as the money would reflect goods coming into the united kingdom and destined for.

that is the union army officer. there are a bunch of southern whites with placards saying "kkk" and "call home your troops." they want federal troops to leave the south, et cetera. looking at the image, can you think of what may have been some issues of reconstruction? ryan? student: probably the need for federal troops to secure rights in the south, they feared confederate troops would try to force slavery back onto the newly freed men in all but name. prof. sinha: excellent. that is exactly what i think the picture illustrates. that there may be a danger, that once the federal troops leave, the southern whites will go back to the way it was. that is a real danger. the rights of the black people are so connected to the presence of the troops in the south, and it tells you something about the issues of reconstruction. black citizenship. what would freedom mean for black people who are no longer slaves? will they be citizens? will they be given equal rights? what is their status in the american republic? the presence

i have been out in the field and a union rep. i have seen workers being told not to sign their sheets back to report only four hours back and do a lot of stuff that they don't get the wages they are supposed to get. by us being present and their being at pla, it would help guard against this. the last time, 30 of our 60 contractors were union members who decided to go into business for themselves and they have been highly successful. i don't understand the argument of them saying that they can't succeed if there is a p.l.a. our members that have started their own businesses are doing fine. i don't understand why that wouldn't be the case. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> my name is marcus. i live and work in san francisco and i work for architecture. i am for the p.l.a. because we want to equalize for all of the workers and we want equal wages for all the workers. health benefits for all the workers. nonunion or union. that is it. thank you. >> thank you. >> hi my name is adam. i work for .-ellipsis i support the p.l.a. thank

we will not be staying in the customs union. to do those would involve us giving free movement and that would not be having faith with the votes of the british people. there will be an end to free movement from the union into this country and the result of us leaving theunion . >> here here. >> mister speaker, can i commend the prime minister for this plan and in particular, can icongratulate her on her leadership ? >> mister speaker, the prime minister said she would listen and she clearly hasn't listened to business. however, there are concerns that there are new details about the governments services. what more detail can we expect to hear in the forthcoming white paper? >> can i say to my right honorable friend, there will be more detail but the point about services is that for a variety of reasons, not least because it is an important effect of the united kingdom we believe it is important to maintain more flexibility in how we are dealing with services. on the good side, business is very clear they would continue to meet th

the union wins, slavery is destroyed. reconstruction, on the other hand, does not have a happy ending. it is a great experiment in interracial democracy after the war, but it is overthrown. maybe we all like happy endings and that's why we don't know much about reconstruction. but it is a crucial period in american history. extremely crucial because many of the modern ideas about citizenship, what constitutes democracy, about equality, all comes from reconstruction. in a way, it is like the second founding of the american republic. you have three constitutional amendments. you don't have that since the bill of rights. that is when the constitution was adopted, the founding moment of the american republic. it is a crucial period which americans should be more aware of. what are the issues of reconstruction that really are still pertinent today? here is an image from "harpers weekly," and it personifies i think some of the central issues involved in this period of reconstructing the union and the questions it raises. have a

i don't want to have to pay dues to the union, have a portion of the check go to the union for dues and have multiple bosses. i just like being nonunion. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening, commissioners. jim lazarus, san francisco chamber of commerce. we have supported in the past project labor agreements. we've endorsed them when they've come before the board of supervisors for approval when they meet the test of the boston harbor case from the u.s. supreme court which said major projects that are time sensitive that meet the federal requirement can have a union bid. boston harbor gig, airport terminals, clearly the type of programs multimillion dollar or billion-dollar programs that project labor agreements were designed to serve, and to serve the public interest. what we have here is an obvious conflict between serving the interests of small business and local hire and the unionization of all city contracts. i think what this commission should ask for is certified l.b.e.'s in san francisco should be fall under a p.l.a. ordinance. that is in direct conflic

the former foreign secretary lea ded the european union. and i am also pleased to welcome my honorable friend as the new secretary of state. speaker, the cabinet agreed to a comprehensive and ambitious proposal that provides the responsible and aggressive basis for negotiating with the eu towards a new relationship after we leave on the 29th of march next year. it's a proposal that will take back control of our borders, our money, and our law. and do so in a way that protects jobs, allows us to fight new trade deals through an independent trade policy, and keeps our people safe and our union together. before i step out the details of this proposal, i want to start by explaining why we are putting a forward. the negotiations so far have settled all over the agreement, and we have agreed to an implementation period which will provide businesses and governments the time to prepare for our future relationship with the eu. but on the nature of that future relationship, the two models on offer from the eu are not acceptable. first, there is what i

because the unions do have the ones in a strong union we have stronger communities and that is the key to the. we look forward to the collaboration and fighting alongside of you. >> thank you, senator white house for convening this important hearing and to all of the witnesses for your work and advocacy and commitment to someone we are a self-governing union we can come to did decide as a group what to do to make the american dream possible for all of us. and i thank you for shining a light on the supreme court decision. it's truly an unfortunate victory for the corporate special interests at the expense of the americans. the decision weakens the ability to bargain and fight for good wages and benefits for the workers undermining efforts to ensure that all of us in all workers in particular can share in an economic growth. and going to continue to fight to protect the right to collectively bargain to expand middle-class opportunities and ensure that all hard-working americans have the ability to get ahead and stay ahead. i want to use the rest of my time today to focus on a particular

is the union and that will be the case. so in theory should public-sector unions now have more constitutional value? yes but they will not use them. >> so now with the step back to the impending confirmation fight asking a lightning round set of questions does any panelists believe there is a real cause and effect that a nominee, assume nothing crazy with any personal craziness is discovered? see a path by which democrats in the senate have any chance to block the nominee? >> it is a very long shot. i wrote about this last night that all the effort has to be on murkowski on the question of abortion and women's rights to try to peel off the justice or two but that of course depends on democratic senators like mansion or donnelly or mccaskill democratic senators running for reelection. >> it also depends on the administration tripping up to nominate someone who has said something about abortion? >> is and that the other view? >> yes it has been called an abomination but they don't do that then to say that a republican presiden

we have the strongest unions in the country. i'm here today because of unions. and everything that you said today i experienced in and we're experiencing in nevada. that's why i'm so glad we're having this hearing and so proud to fight alongside all of you. let me follow up on a conversation that you started with, senator about, the coke brothers now after this decision, this janice decision now reaching out to public sector workers and saying you don't have to be a part of the union. what you are doing to counter that if anything or do you see a need to counter it? is there any type of strategy that you're looking at or taking? just curious. or is it something we don't want to share? >> well, i can tell you what some people have done. we have had members in various different locals who have set back their e-mail that's they gotten with words that, you know, if i use them right now -- as professor mcclean said, i'd have too much money in my swear jar. there's -- so actually individual members and locals have basically sent a whole bunch of things back to these f

once we leave the european union. on the basis of the agreement that was made here at checkers and that i've put forward to the european union. and just be clear, that is an agreement that delivers on the brexit vote that we had in 2016 here in the u.k. that delivers what i believe is at the forefront of people's minds when they were voting to leave the european union. so at the end of these negotiations, we will ensure that free movement will come to an end. the jurisdiction of the european court of justice here in the u.k. will come to an end. the sending of vast sums of money every year to the e.u. will come to an end. we will come out of the common agriculture policy, we will come out of the common fishers policy, and will ensure, by not being in a customs union, that we are able to have an independent trade policy and do those trade deals around the world. and as you've heard from the president, the united states is keen for us work, we're keen to work with them and whether he do a trade deal with them and with ot

i am so glad to hear that people are joining the union. what are some of the strategies you are dealing with, not only from a union perspective but from your incredible members and for teachers across the country, even though not in your union. thank you for that. >> i actually think it comes down to one word, engagement. with member engagement comments community involvement, it's people understanding what the stakes are, it is creating pathways, it is getting through the fear and frustration and the polarization and re-creating trusts. in february 2015 we came to an executive council meeting. we had an intense conversation about how to reengage in a different way, how to look at this notion that the leader can do it all for the members, how to create different pathways of engagement. we started with one-to-one conversation. we have had over a million one-to-one conversation. in january, february 2015 on, given what we saw in the brief, we said, let's not wait to re-sign up people, let's take the risk of having a recommitment strategy in th

the move was planned ahead of a u.s. supreme court decision last week that found public unions like the n.e.a. can no longer charge fees to nonunion members who are covered by union agreements the n.e.a. says that ruling is likely to cut its income from dues by fourteen percent over the next two years it has silenced my voice and has really. taken away my ability to have some collective power on behalf of my students and my colleagues in my profession unions are the last line of defense that's what this was about the move was praised by republicans including president donald trump who called it a big loss for the coffers of the democrats supreme court who said that the asians can make unlimited political contributions but the court has limited the sources of union contributions nevertheless these teachers seem enthusiastic determined to make a difference. the high court ruling will not affect states like florida with so-called right to work laws that already bar nonunion workers from paying dues but it does affect public union workers and twenty two other states that don't it is going to make u
