once home to the largest steelworks in europe, ebbw vale today is in one of the most socially and economically deprived regions in the uniteduarter of working age adults are on benefits. male unemployment is more than double the national average. and more than a third of the population have no educational qualifications at all. singing. to any casual visitor, ebbw vale doesn't superficially look or feel like one of the most hard—hit areas of britain. the old steelworks has recently been redeveloped at a cost of £350 million, creating new schools and colleges, a new hospital, and state—of—the—art sports facilities, not to mention all the construction work involved in building new road and rail links into town. i've also never been to a place with so many blue eu flags, adorning all these new buildings. they are literally everywhere. that's because the eu has funded a sizeable part of all the regeneration here. a whopping £1.8 billion has been invested by the eu in wales since 2014. yet in the brexit referendum, 62% of people here voted to leave, the highest proportion in wales. so much of the investment here has come from th

standard oil this richmond until 1950, long after the cio scored big victories in other basic industries. to this day, what is now united steelworkers number five operates as an open shop in chevron richmond which shocked me when i discovered it researching the book. and as people with anatomical workers with a background can tell you, that makes it difficult to tangle with their employer about day-to-day bargaining issues, workplace safety and, on top of that, get involved with greenpeace or 350.org or the richmond progressive alliance to create a blue-green alliance locally that's going to hold the company accountable for its considerable contributions, carbon emissions, contributions to the problem of global warming and its periodic failures to provide a safe workplace and a safe refinery for those living downwind of it. there's a long history of both environmental and labor struggles involving the company. then company also wields influence by spending a lot of money in politics in not very helpful ways, and i think what's interesting is that, you know, the environmental movement in a place like richmond has not been led by ster

steelwork, $1 or two per day. blood is the best way for black americans to organize? in then the japanese the jewish americans even though the holocaust and not happen in the united states. >> i think first and foremost, we shut recognize that black people should recognize even though you may be black if there's something wrong or inferior but to think that creates a set of practices and attitudes if you think as a black person that black people are inferior or criminal like if you see that mass incarceration he will not recessed so people should think about the way to recognize the equality of different groups but then that creates a certain set of agassi groups because and refocus on racist policies. one of the of many different things i have advocated for a is reparations. and presumably those who should save some for reparations as well so there are larger issues at play but it prefers to have to take the recognition that there is nothing wrong with black people need to be focused on these equalizing programs. >> host: what do teach at the university of florida? >> guest: history, history of racism, anti-racism, african -american history, black power, social movemen

thehe steelworkers unin here in the e united states, one of f 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'i'll usese their words--the fl alliancnce between thehe steelwororkers union of the unid states, which--i don't know how many members it has, but in the hundreds of thousands, big unionon--with mondragon, the corporate--that huge, successful worker's self-directed entterprise in spain. and i remember many of us were taken aback. "what an interesting idea. an alliance." what did it mean? well, the details were hard to come by. it seems as thougugh there was discussion, obviously, between them. they issued a joint press release and had a press conference. but it's hard to tell, so i'm now going to imagine where this might go. i'm not saying that's where they're taking it. i don't know exactly where they're goingng to take i, or even whether they're going to take it somewhere, but here's what i would do. imagine a trade union movement with a completely different strategi
