the upper hand out here. they can steal from you as a worker and face very little if any consequences. >> juan helped the former david's cafe workers organize their protests. >> so at the same time that we're involved in this pitched battle against david's cafe, we hear in the news that a few workers at cafe versailles at the miami international airport were arrested for stealing from the employer. >> earlier today, seven women were arrested and tonight they're being questioned by police. team six reporter willard shepard has been staking out the airport all night. >> these women are still being questioned here. they have been questioned throughout the evening about exactly how they came up with this plan, and exactly how they executed it. >> these workers were handcuffed, their mug shots were splashed all over the media. they were portrayed as menaces to society. >> later tonight they'll be transported downtown to the county jail. >> the authorities are very quick to act when it's one of us, a poor person, a working person, who's committed a crime that affects the interests of the employers. but when the rever

the unions. mr. baker: workershave become marginalized to since world war ii, and this was a conscious effort on the part of the powers that be, the employer organized employers. workers marginalized in the sense that workers were made to sound like they only were talking about menial labor, or marginal labor or production line labor. the whole idea of workers basically being most of the country and needing representation of one sort of another has kind of gone by the boards, because we have been made to think of workers as just this lower income group at the bottom. like i said, my research did uncover that this was a conscious effort, a concerted effort to do this, to portray labor in that context. so i think one thing we can do is realize when we talk about workers we are really talking about most people in this country. and they need to start thinking about what they have to do to protect themselves. to make their voices known. professor mccartin: well, i would just add to what's been said, when john you asked,

by the workers. that's the law in germany. they're the most successful capitalist country in europe, and they give more power to their workers than any other one. the notion that if you were to do that you would cripple the capitalist potential--uh-uh. it's the same silly argument that says, "gee. those europeans, they're just not doing real well because they have such a big social safety net," national health for everybody, basically free public higher education, and all the rest. germany has one of the most expansive programs of welfare for its people, and it's the most successful country. their unemployment is significantly lower than that in the united states, but on the other hand of course, for a german worker, like for most european workers, being unemployed doesn't have the meaning it does here because since they all have a national health system you get your national health whether you have a job or not. when you lose your job, you do not lose your health insurance. you can't lose your health

with few other options, the workers agreed. but as of this show's air date no checks have arrived. restaurant workers have little power. nationwide, less than five percent are represented by a union. in florida, efforts to enact wage protections face opposition from a strong business lobby. among that lobby's successes this year: a new law that prevents localities from requiring companies to grant paid sick days. state senator david simmons sponsored that bill. >> we do not want to become like a state that over-regulates the private enterprise so that it overburdens employers. because you know who ends up ultimately paying for it? employees. that's exactly what happens. you overburden employers with regulations and obligations and they're not free to treat their employees the way we know they want to treat them, and that is with respect and with as high a pay as they can possibly get by with paying and be competitive. in the majority of cases employees are, they have a wonderful relationship with their employer and... >> low paid workers in florida? >> also low paid workers in flori

i know i'm only going to pay the worker $1.65 an hour. and the difference between one.65 and -- 1.65 and 6 is my profit. >> the way the system is set up they actually have an incentive to use subcontractors that overcharge. that's because the government has agreed to reimburse subcontractors for all of their cost and pay a portion as a profit. >> the prime contractors make millions of dollars in additional profits by subcontracting it out. >> so so the u.s. government is subsidizing human trafficking. >> no, we're paying for it directly. this is only form of human trafficking where the taxpayer directlily pays the human trafficker. >> so floor and dinecorps know you are -- >> quote, zero tolerance policy regarding trafficking in persons. echolog told us it's against company policy for any subcontractor to pay a recruitment fee and all companies are in complete alliance with government contracts. have not responded to our requests for comments. the pentagon and obama administration have all issued rules designed to stop trafficking on milit

is the national minimum wage a wage that hurts businesses and workers, because it leads to the elimination of low-skilled work. workers advocators point to low wagers. low wage work as a way of life is another, a tread meal making it hard to climb out of poverty. is that a floor below which hourly wages shouldn't fall >>> there is maths homework. dishes. >> it's bad enough that i'm gonate hours away from the home, picking up another shift. 15-16 hours. >>> this woman works tirelessly trying to support a family of five works as a security guard, earning $30,000. half her pay check pays for this one bedroom apartment. i don't think we took anything out for dinner. >> reporter: in the kitchen, the never ending question of what to feedle family. >> reporter: what will you pull out of the freezer? >> i didn't think about it. >> she is one of 1 million angelinos living in poverty. according to the mayor office, if l.a.'s poor were their own city, it would be the tenth largest in america, the third largest in california. anderson has it better than most. she earns a little more than minimum wage,

the same path as my colleague. i started out as a part time worker. i would first like to say that again, landmark theater supports the formula retail workers bill of rights legislation sxim theater discuss the one part of the regulation and the notification and scheduling requirements as my colleagues from amc have discussed the studios control the manner in which we know what films we are showing and our business fluctuate and not predictable and we are at the mercy of the film distributingers regarding release dates and titles posting it in two weeks is not

believing in the policy, i also am a strong supporters of worker rights and believe that the formula retail should have the right to earn extra hours and income if they wish and many currently give the extra hours for the part time employees without this ordinance, the amendments in front of us focus on helping the mid and small sized businesses in san francisco and also insure that unionized workers agreements and formula retail establishments are respected, above our own current laws that we pass and i also am introducing an amendment today to match the intent that i stated when i first introduced the follow up amendments to the board that will change the definition of the formula retail from the ordinances that are 20 locations to 40 and the amendment although, minor is subnative and so it will require for it to sit for an additional week, in terms of the amendment thises was ground breaking that we passed last year and i believe that it is important to get it right if you sxwil it does set a precedent for the future policis that we are seeing spring up here in san francisco and o

that would be a far better way to raise the wage of the low income worker. of course the best thing to do is have a highly educated work force who can take good paying jobs we need more good paying jobs, we need more entrepreneurs to create the start-up such as google and facebook. that is what we need. >> thank you, gentlemen, we appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> up next, becky is back with more on the money. >>> and should your baby learn his abcs from tv? pediatricians and parents are not agreeing with this one. we'll have more on this baby first tv. >>> and later, it's greoundhog day every day for one worker. hear why she wants to wear the same thing every day. >>> and before we go to break look at how the stock market ended for the week. behind this door there's a scientific genius at work... my daughter. it all started when she got a dell 2-in-1. it's a tablet when you want it and a laptop when you need it. dell 2-in-1s with intel inside have everything you need to learn and do just about anything. whoah! genius. like father, like daughter. dell inspiron

under union rules we have to progress at this aerate the most productive in the efficient workers. >>you start to slack off. >> exactly at the "wall street journal" we would interview heads of the fortune 100 companies that would decided they would build new factories and they would say we don't even consider a state if it is not right to work. john: implanted increased 8% in right to work state. >> the biggest thing in charleston to build a massive building plants which left seattle which was unionized because they did not want to do with the union but that is 7,000 jobs that are now in south carolina. john: but the union says correctly that both the union and nonunion workers have lower wages. >> but they also have a lot more jobs i don't even believe these workers in south carolina field they are underpaid. they sweep them up a line around the block with pretty good salaries. john: what would you say to these two? >> you cannot dissolve the middle-class to think we will have progress we spend money we produce revenue that we built the middle-class pay as more people will spend more

to go back to the domestic workers, the category of workers, the home health aide that is one of our most rapidly growing sectors. there is a huge demand for home health aides. they are still carved out a bit fair standards labor act. this is a category of workers not entitled to minimum wage or overtime and are often expected to work inhumane hours going patient to patient. they have very difficult jobs because dealing with elderly or disabled people who need to be moved lifted in all sorts of ways and yet we haven't seen the great demand and certainly a huge need wages are moving out. it comes from sort of a waiting of a belief in the economy that the government does play a role and i think coming out of the new deal we saw some of the real significant changes brought about that were not good by president roosevelt. to a great extent the economy growing helps everybody. in order to counteract some of the structural problems we have with certain types of job categories, there needs to be a stronger government hand in this particular place is. close to one area in particular is minim

or are they still seeing a social worker -- almost 7 months. >> they would still be seeing the social workers because they are still on the site. >> so it's possible the services have not ceased? >> no. this was probably a month ago we can assume a number of these students are still accessing and the number of hours are probably higher. >> so you developed this program about a month ago and i'd imagine because of the violence act. >> i mean we developed these numbers i tallied these up about a month ago. >> thank you for the clarification in this program that does the support services for the students -- how long has it been in existence with the unified school district? >> well social workers started at the high school level and from then that would be about 13 years ago from there expanded into middle school and into elementary and over the past 13 13 years it has expanded from 12 to k backwards. >> okay that's all i can think of right now if something else comes up i'll call you back thank you. so our next speaker is going to be -- is it you, stephanie? >> yes. >> stephanie

the pay for workers has grown very slowly. the income from the typical worker has declined since 1989. so we have a problem where things like minimum wage and things are not going up. and those at the top have been able to structure the rules so they benefit et doing very well. >> if it is publicly traded, some would say that the board should step in. the ceo is taking the fire and meeting shareholder expectations. >> if you look at ceo pay in top companies versus the workers in those companies it's not like 400, it's more like 80. some of those ratios are greatly exaggerated. the median household income has gone up by about 40% since 1980. if you're looking at eye, 80 may be too high. things like compliant boards, lack of unionizations, by far the major reasons are technology and globu have much bigger comp run by ceos who can leverage their skills and compete with services of companies around the world thanks to technology and a more globalized society. those are the major reasons. and -- and listen, that is not even the bigg

the remains of the fire are still everywhere. this is where workers jumped out the burning building onto the roof of this dormitory. there's bars on all windows so workers had to kick out at the exhaust fans and jump on the roof of this building. rokeya begum's daughter, henna died in the fire. >> you haven't received any compensation for your daughter's death? >> many of the women who escaped the fire still live in the shadow of the factory. mukta banu is one of them. she says she was sewing the walmart shorts when the fire broke out. >> so how did you escape? >> can you describe what you were working on? >> these were the pants you were working on. >> when word got out that we were visiting, other survivors came to share their stories. so you did the hemming along the zipper and the belt? and how about you? >> none of the women received compensation from walmart so you hanged and packed it up? - and they all vowed to never work at a garment factory again. >> do you know who these pair of shorts were for? >> walmart >> five months after the fire, yet

he's on the side of the worker we are not. i respectfully disagree. >> senator and presidential hopeful bernie sanders. thank you so much. i appreciate it. >>> remember to answer tonight's question. we'll have the results after the break. follow us on facebook and watch my facebook feature "give me a minute." >>> next a closer look at nike's track record on workers rights. and later part v. hoboken, new jersey felt the impact of hurricane sandy. now the city is working to prevent future flooding from rising sea levels. stay with us we're right back on "the ed show." sales department-this is nate. human resources. technical support. hold please.

to go back to the domestic workers, this is the category of workers particularly the home health aides that is one of our most rapidly growing sectors. this is huge demand for home health aides but they are still carved out of the fair labor standards act. this is a category of workers who are not entitled to minimum wage or overtime and are often expected to work just inhumane hours. they may be going from patient to patient and they have very difficult jobs because they are often dealing with the elderly or disabled, people who need to be moved and lifted cleaned assisted in all sorts of ways. and yet we haven't seen that there is this great demand and there is certainly a huge need -- we just are moving up so i think i come from the wing of those in the economy that the government actually does play a role and i think coming out of the new deal we saw some of the real significant changes that were brought about because of the workplace laws that were enacted by president roosevelt. so actually i think to great a great extent the economy growing has helped everybody i think in order

also for the many u.s. workers seeking jobs in fields that rely heavily on the program. thank you, again, for this opportunity and i look forward to answering your questions. >> okay. thank you. and we'll start with our questions. and let me begin with you on one of the topics you discussed directly. and that's private wage surveys. isn't it correct that the new rule you're describing greatly limits compared to past practice, greatly narrows and limits the use of private wage surveys? >> senator, it is true that in december last year, we had our previous rule allowed significant use of private wage surveys. that use was injoined by a court in december of last year. and the court's opinion lays out a great deal of reasoning including concerns about how private wage surveys might undercut wages and some other reasons that, for example, surveys that use only entry-level wages are not permissible under the law. they found that to be a violation of the law. at that time, we had to immediately suspend the use of surveys

i just think rick has a powerful message not only speaking to the american worker and the blue-collarorker, not just the elite, but there is the global jihad movement. there are very few with their names in an isis magazine as an enemy, so rick is important, more important than health care, climate change. whatever you want to mention, we must deal with this issue in the years and maybe decades ahead, and he has been writing about the conversations and cooperations between ahmadinejad , the previous president, and also where they have a lot of jihadist camps, so rick has all three. number one, he has the national security the fact that he is very active in this area in dealing with them, the global jihad movement, and also very strong on the economic front because was one of the people that stood up with the balanced abutment -- balanced budget amendment, and was the first guy to come back with the rollback of federal entitlements where he did welfare reform. at age 38, rick santorum. john: i went to ask you, we do not have much time with you. i want to ask you quickly, to the extent

the u.s. government, you should have to pay your workers a decent wage. and so i think we have seen there have been a lot of moves in the last e3/4 raise the minimum wage across the country. a lot of states have done away with the sort of bifurcated minimum wage, which gives tipped employees much more wage, and state like washington state which is now $15 an hour, at least in seattle $15 an hour, they're not seeing job losses and they're not seeing employer flight. it's actually been good for the economy, and it's good for the works and i think it's definitely something we need to examine very strongly. the minimum wage has not kept pace with overall cost of living has not kept pace with the growth in the economy and so you see where we are now we are well behind where we should be if the minimum wage had been actually pegged to the economy. >> host: i certain the think there are -- those businesses able to increase their employees' wages more aggressively should be applauded, but i also am noticing the trend and especially with jobs that are sort of less

i'm elizabeth alexander an nonprofit working and here with the local 10 to one as nonprofit workers we what i was seeing in the presentation i couldn't help thinking why are not not talking about the workers delivering those services they fit into the low wage workers if your making 13 or 1250 an hour is not a different experience in an a nonprofit or anything else in the economy it is difficult to get but we have to make that commitment you could take 10 thousand people from the lowest rages and move them into the middle just by property line funding a cola people will have those increases year by year and so the most of my coworkers earner between telephone 25 and $25 an hour on the high ends so when we're looking at the 2 hundred percent of the poverty level is $43,000 a year for 3 family members most of the workers have under that that are providing the services we're talking about are qualifying for the same kinds of services we're talking about providence the easiest way to move people out the poverty to provide a living wage job and the city to make a permanent commitment to us

making telegraph hill tool that helps staff to give better information to the adult services to the workers can figure out what the response time should be whether it was a real emergency situations and consistency across staff we're excited to use this tool jason has spent time in fourth what communities use it and work with the contractor to you know kind of custom in itself it for us we've we'll be implementing that and give us the ability to track data and figure out the kinds of calls we're getting and basically, if there are certain types we need to make certain decisions and get out there quicker and helps us manage our resources better that's essentially what the tool does >> do i have a motion to discuss. >> questions or comments from the commission? commissioner loo >> sherry reign that program started on may the first so the program has already started. >> it hadn't start but the contract covers the full month the other question is the contract like 8 year contract. >> right. >> steve might have to answer that question. >> good morning steve kim contract management this is actual
