he started his union work with the united mine workers and became the union's president at the age of 33. since 1980 done, he has been working on the afl-cio's executive council and was like a president in 2009 -- and was like a president in 2009. we are on the record. please know live blogging or tweeting. no filing of any kind mother breakfast is underway. -- while the breakfast is underway. the embargo is lifted when the session ends. here are the important instructions for how to do this on zoom. we are hoping to make this as much like in person event as possible. collegial, conversational and informative. we ask all of the reporters keep their video on an audio muted unless you are speaking. to ask a question, please use the raised hand function on zoom to help us set up a queue. ofck on the participants 10 on the bottom of your screen and click raised hand on the window. when i call on you to ask a question, unmute yourself and introduce yourself by name and news outlet if you have not already done so. if i have not already done so. follow-up questions are fine, but please bear

unions where the problem. remember unions where the issue? well, all of a sudden, they found out that you had thousands of employees making an hourly rage having to sign noncompete agreements, so if you worked at burger king, you had to sign a noncompete agreement and could not go across the street to mcdonald's to try to get five more cents on an hourly wage, all in an effort to keep wages down. a secret not go -- that was consequential, and you could not give away that secret because of going to work for another high-tech industry. these are people making an hourly wage, just doing their job. and they could not even bargain for themselves, let alone have a union do it. -- theemember going up point is all of a sudden, they figured it out, and they figured out the reason they got overtime pay was because of unions, because look at all of the overtime that is being cut from people who were not union members. they are reclassifying them as management. if you worked in a grocery store, and you were in control of the man or woman who brought out

the two unions merge in 66 and the filipinos felt like second class citizens in a mexican union. there's a bridge of those differences but their leadership is very happy, larry was the most prominent and strongest of delay know and in great frustration i write about some of his comments in his remarks and his unhappiness when he felt that chavez could not delegate and that. the filipinos become marginalized and then chavez in an effort to do something, a very misguided effort in 1977 goes to the philippines as a guest and that becomes a tremendously polarizing act as well. he praises martial law and there's quite a bit about that though we haven't talked about but it's an important part of the story. >> i believe the meetings in filipino were all for the most part -- the filipino cameron -- community has denounced part of the film because the filipinos were shown in the forefront and if growers sign the contract to veracruz. they were sitting next to chavez and they signed and yet in the philippines, you show it in the background. >> miriam, you worked at the agricultural reporte

i will not rest when it comes to building a union of equality a union way you can be who you are and love who you want without fear and recrimination. because being yourself is not your ideology it is your identity and no one can ever take it away so i want to be crystal clear l g b t q i've tree zones are sure manatee tree zones and they have no place in our union. a deal. and to make sure that we support the whole community the commission will soon put forward a strategy to strengthen l g b t q i writes as part of this. i will also push for mutual recognition of family relations in the e.u. because if you are a parent in one country you are of course a parent in every country i. mesdames you miss your lady pretty. donna karan over all of you. don't know some zuni. even nitish in diversity and diversity. a world where we work together overcome our differences and when we support each other in the difficult times. we are talking about a world of tomorrow that is stronger more respectful more healthy and world that we are building to leave to our children. while we are teaching our ch

as you union ironworker. people can understand, i don't know, i can't understand what's going on today. i'm lost i'm lost and i hope, i just can i get choked up when i think about the direction this country is going in at this time. we need your help. >> our next speaker is warren from -- >> howard. >> local 520 i mean howard, sorry, sorry. from 520. he's a pipe fitter in plumber. he just got back from being the point in afghanistan, and -- >> also staff sergeant. my son the major said that sometimes in the military. >> that's right. i used to be an injured knee. i served eight years in the army. i'm a veteran and one thing i had, as was getting at was being concerned about raising a family, how am i going to provide for a family. i was able to get in and apprenticeship program, an awesome program. i graduated and on a full-time journeymen as well. i've been to a lot of power plants, worked there, did a lot of work for various contractors, involved in plumbing to printing operations. have been so far good but

this is so that they could secure the union line that the union army advance. that was under the command and three. d in 26, --ng october here is an image that is heavily debated about whether or not this is showing federal troops crossing. nonetheless, it gives you a very good idea of what this crossing might have looked like. what soldiers looks like this might have meant going back across the potomac river. as a new york times correspondent wrote, watching thousands of soldiers, he said, only when the column crossing the potomac by the printer and bridge stepped on the soil, the vent,soil through and west each ears broke through 20,000 throats, awoke responsive message from the hills. a third campaign commenced. once the federal army began moving into the loudoun valley, they found something relatively unexpected for them. microcosmlley was a of what the country was experiencing at this time it was divided over the issue of slavery. populated by german populations that were normally favorable toward union soldiers. you will see a sketch here. you will see un

cause and fight in the union army. the arithmetic of the situation was clear. slaves liberated from confederate captivity could be transformed into assets that enhanced the union war effort. lincoln spelled this out to disgruntled northern whites who complained about emancipation. to whatever extent they should cease helping the enemy, to that extent it weakens the enemy in his resistance to you and whatever can be got to do as soldiers leaves just so much less for white soldiers to do in saving the union. abraham lincoln should remind us that moral complexity lies at the heart of the american experience. his career highlights tensions for which there were no easy answers. he weighed between conscious and law, but he said that the fugitive slave law must be obeyed. he knew that black people in american were treated unfairly but he dared not come out squarely for equal rights. he always had been appalled by disorder and violence and bloodshed, but as president he commanded enormous armies and hoped that ends would justi

what's the union? and the teatro becomes more and more popular and he is a rival force to cesar chavez, not because he wants to run the labor union, but sort of as a credible voice for farmworkers. he also sort of embodies the more radical element of the movement, not in terms of their politics interfering, but in their independence. so if any of you know or have dealt with people who are politically active, they have strong opinions. there comes a period of time in 1967 when those opinions are not really welcome and chavez, i think, never particularly believed in a democratic organization. he did a good imitation in the earlier years of being a democracy, but it never really was a democracy. so in 1967 are the first purges and luis valdez did a great session with me with the public library which was also online and he talks publicly for the first time in that video -- audio, rashths of being purged. i found all of the records and he told me the story, and then i actually found the written minutes of t

in a mexican controlled union. there are efforts to bridge those differences, but one of the most prominent and strongest ends up-- organizer leaving in great frustration. i write about some of his unhappiness where he felt that chavez could not delegate and would not delegate. the filipinos become marginalized and then chavez in an effort to do something about, a very misguided effort, goes to the philippines is a gift to ferdinand marcos and that becomes a tremendously polarizing event as well. he praises martial law. there is quite a bit. that is an important -- gregg: i believe the meetings were held in filipino hall for the most part. i believe that the filipino community has denounced part of the film because filipinos were shown in the background and not in the forefront. i believe when the growers finally signed the contract, it was veracruz? sitting next to chavez and he was one of the people who signed, yet in the film he is shown in the background. miriam, you shared with me before the presentation that

essentially the first union for actors. the first union for actors. the actress killed was designed to give actors the ability to bargain better. reagan became the president of the screen actors guild when he spent as much of his career in hollywood negotiating as he did acting. this is really important because he developed a sense of importance of free enterprise and the importance of for unions. throughout our course unions have plenty really important. roll think of the brotherhood of sleeping car -- think of the importance of the civil rights movement and the union to the civil rights movement. unions were crucially important to hollywood and to sports. it's the major league baseball union that allows the creation that negotiates the creation of free agency. so baseball players are not owned by their team when their contract is up, they can go somewhere else and they can negotiate another team to pay more. you all believe in free agents. none of you want to graduate and sell your entire career to one company. most of you will work for multiple peo

the european union was blamed many times that the european union reacts to slow, too late, and too littlefferent. let us take decisive measures andi let us take decisive measures and i hope that it will happen. nato, as an organisation, is totally good for lithuania. we think nato organisation, the brain of nato is not dead and we enjoy very good cooperation with nato on many levels, on the level of common military plans, we have enhanced presence in lithuania several yea rs presence in lithuania several years ina presence in lithuania several years in a row. ourselves, we are very and responsible member of nato, ally of the nato, spending 2% of gdp and we expect that other countries will do the same, will increase the spending. i don't think that the potential of nato is exhausted. i feel this is that the potential of nato is exhausted. ifeel this is only one organisation, a very effective organisation of defence and deterrence. mr president, we're almost out of time. they want to raise other issue with you. you have talked about your discontent with the eu reaction to what is happening

and the european union is not walking away from this, but what the european union is making very, very clear is we have an agreement. an agreement that protects the good friday agreement and also stands by the single markers which is at the heart of the european project, and also a core foundation of the irish economy and of our country. in order to look at other agreements in the future, we have to honor agreements that have already been made. this is an agreement that was made by the british government this time nearly a year ago. it was a agreement made by the current british government. and the prerequisite of any future agreement was to be honoring agreements that have just been made. >> the basis for current and future agreements is trust. how damaged has trust been? >> trust has been damaged as a result of this. it's been damaged because of the nature of the announcement. it's been damaged because we have a process under way that was always predicated on an agreement that was just made. with that being said, the european union and ireland is very clear that we want to engage. we

editor sarahging kate byerly talks about this and the union response. the talk was part of a symposium on the war in the east hosted by the emerging civil war blog. >> welcome to the emerging civil war symposium. i am chris murkowski. thank you for joining us in person and online. before i introduce our next speaker, i went to give a shout out to those who made today possible. our technical director, chris weiss. thank you to our symposium coordinators kevin pollock and dan welch. because of the covid pandemic we had to postpone this year's in prison symposium and all the work kevin and dan did to get ready for that. we postponed until next year. tickets are available at this time, but they also stepped up to make today's virtual symposium possible. thank you, dan and kevin for your work. i would like to introduce our next speaker sarah kay bierle. is the managing editor of emerging who was working behind civil war who was working behind the scenes to keep the blog up and going and to make sure that all of that free content is coming to you every day. h

so he was for the union. there were northern democrats like that were for the union but they didn't have anything to do with black rights. johnson's johnson, his racism really is what -- you'll see this in the actions. this is the failure of johnson's reconstruction. he is not a continuation of lincoln. there was a conflict of the president of united states in the congress who would control reconstruction. but lincoln worked with the congress. he worked with this party, the republican party. johnson was really a man without a party. and he does these things like he invokes these land grants and remember sherman, all the abandoned lands that they had free people settle on. in low country georgia. all those lands, he takes it and gives it back to the planters. southern whites are complaining, they don't want black union army. troops they disband them or they are sent out west. he is clearly worki o platform . congress, when it reconvenes, these are the things that he is doing in pretty soon after lincoln's deat

deja vu news live from berlin european commission president on the line gives her 1st state of the union address we'll be going live to brussels to hear her outline for rhona virus recovery plan and new goals for an ambitious climate agreement she's also expected to touch on plans to reset the use failed migration policy following the fire at europe's largest migrant camp that in greece also on the show. a new prime minister for japan tokyo's parliament confirms your shahid a sukkah as successor to shinzo all day the former health minister says his priorities are fighting the pandemic and strengthening japan's whaling and cars. and israel signs historic agreements after the white house with bahrain and the united arab emirates establishing diplomatic relations present trump says they're just the 1st of many such deals to come. i'm brian thomas could have you with us today european commission president to ursula fong the lion will shortly give her 1st state of the union address she's expected to unveil her vision for a more ambitious. climate deal for the block migration also expected to

by union soldiers .african-american soldiers, white soldiers, new englanders, people from the border states. and so on. and the often times the sophistication of their own thinking surprised me. sometimes quite profound thoughts appear in a language of grammar, spelling's and so on that seem less than polished but the sentiments nonetheless revealed, provide for us a great insight so tuning in those voices is so important and the key thing always in these sorts of projects is that we have to strike a balance between in the moment sources andpost factors sources . for me the letters and diaries, they have a wonderful collection at uva that's newly acquired soldiers letters and diaries that we've gotten throughjohn now . and those in the moment sources are so important because they are a bit of a kind of control group that sort of enables you to see how arguments that are being made in speeches, in sermons by politicians, by editors are landing and resounding in people's daily lives. so to just add a littl

which was herbally the first union for actors. the first union for actors. it was designed to provide actors with the ability to bargain to be paid better. and not to be owned by their studios. reagan became the president of the screen actor's guild and he spent as much of his career in hollywood negotiating as he did acting. he developed a sense of the importance of free enterprise and unions. tloult throughout our course, unions have played a very important role. think of phillip rafill. unions were crucially important to hollywood and to sports. it is the major league baseball union that allows the creation and negotiations for the creation of free agency. so baseball players are not owned by their team when their contract is up, they can go somewhere else and negotiate with another team to be paid more. you all believe in free agency, right? none of you want to graduate and have to sell your entire career to one company. most of you will work for multiple people and you will often, many of you, because you're talented, be at a job at one place, say at go

and could it lead to greaterfiscal union within the european union?n fiscal policy. just very quickly on that. yes, this was a strong recommendation coming frequently from the ecb. we can't have only a common monetary policy, we need a fiscal common policy. this is perhaps a step in this direction, but i repeat, we should concentrate on this initiative and not on the consequences that it could have in the european project and building. right. this is a discussion for after the crisis, not for now. got to ask you briefly on brexit of course. talks have taken place this week between britain and the european union, and there is an eu leader summit in mid—october hoping to have progress. david frost — the uk ‘s brexit chief negotiator — says, "a deal is very much possible, but equally very farfrom certain." how confident are you of a deal, commissioner? well, i know that talks are ongoing this week, and so it's difficult for me to comment on these talks. what is sure is that the eu has always been committed to trying to find a deal. we did it in good fait

-- union-leaning or confederate-leaning.here might have been a slight edge to the union but the confederate sold -- confederate supporters were more vocal and passionate about their cause. what they lacked numbers they made up for in enthusiasm. the gold fields did attract the attention of the confederacy. likewise, gold fields and nevada got the attention of the union as well. is a building that started off life known as the criterion. it later became mozart hall. criterion, there is a gunslinger named charlie harrison who was the proprietor and he was a strong confederate supporter. peoplef the southern would hang out in the saloon and again, denver split into two camps. in our area, those people were called the bombers and they tended to be southern leaning. claim clubbersre like general larimer was a part of used to be leaning more toward the union. here is the criterion saloon and behind the criterion saloon was the union army barracks, just to keep that in mind. here's the palace variety theater. the founder was a form

ashe realizes his union -- he realizes union cavalry is closing in on him as he returns to the potomac, he makes decisions quickly which would raps influence what he was trying to do and the pennsylvania campaign the following summer which of course includes the battle of gettysburg. be chambersburg raid can seen as offering a foreshadowing for the cavalry's future in the east. timeanton was behind this but in the following year, he would be part of the battle of brandy station and a turning point in cavalry warfare. pleasanton's politicking did not help his own advancement and he did not secure stunning atul field successes but he was part of the rise of the union cavalry. in the future, particularly in 1863 and beyond, stewart would have to fight much harder for his successes and the chambersburg raid marks one of the final joyrides of his cavalry. song that is often referenced in stewart's cavalry the song called "join the cavalry." it is associated with stewart's headquarters and it is a very repetitive song. there are different versus. but it starts off with "we are the boys that

the general hospital is the largest of the union hospitals. it has there he good transportation access. it is also a place would be hard to escape from. they begin to set up camps very near there. you see that in the upper right of the screen. now, point lookout will very quickly swell to over 20,000 at its peak. this would be the feeder camp to what would become elmira. there is another view. at the very same time, early 64, andersonville was created in the south. we talked about this earlier. this is a camp that would come to house over 30,000. it is really just a big pen where union soldiers are thrown, and they will have little freshwater. they will have food occasionally, as the confederacy can get supplies to them, but almost immediately report start to get back to the union about how things are going there and the state of the prisoners in the confederate charge. the overland campaign is another thing that really directly impacts the overflow and then the real humanitarian crisis of the pow camps, because this is a campaign that is goin

the union wins. slavery is destroyed. reconstruction on the other hand does not have a happy ending. it's a great experiment in interrational democracy. immediately after the war, but it is overthrown. and maybe we all like happy endings, and that's one of the reasons that we don't know that much about reconstruction. but it is really a crucial period in american history. extremely crucial because many of our 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, right? that's just when the constitution is adopted. and the founding moment of the american republic. so it's a crucial period that, one, i think americans would, should be more aware of. okay. so what are the issues of reconstruction that really are still pertinent today? okay. here's an image from harper's weekly. and it sort of personifies, i think, some o

the leaders of the european union not to recognize president. as the legitimate leader of belarus once his official term is up moreover they are calling for sanctions for pressure on bellerose and russia for example has come out and said that this is counterproductive that this flies in the face of what the european union has called for that called on previously which is deescalation which is dialogue and which is to to leave belarus to decide for itself on what path and what course to proceed and russia said says that if these if these harsh sanctions are put in place that they will be called sequences. our position in relation to sanction instruments used by the european union is well known it is illegitimate from the point of view of international law and is an unacceptable interference internal affairs and the context of the situation and valorous it contradicts the call of restore instability establishing dialogue launching their constitutional process and these intentions of which e.u. representatives spoke so much about the rockley and th

union's path forward. it's true that we have not achieved anything because we launched several infringement procedures of each and it up in the european court of justice and the case law and the judgments of the of the court say clearly that are that is a breach of rule of law in concrete cases in concrete legislation that it has to be repaired so. we asked as the commission the court which is the only. authorized interpreter of the e.u. law and the court decide it and so this is a this is a continuous process and the report which we published today is the response on the criticism that we are only focusing on poland and hungary it's true we are presenting the report which is describing the situation in all the member states and we see positive and negative trends in many of member states and value see the negative trends on we can also start a dialogue. that the respective member states not to get too far because then some damages are repairable i'm afraid and if those negative trends continue in countrie
