unions. >> in our life the shadowbosses other people were really work for. the people who hold us accountable for the decisions we make our lives. so it's our fathers, it's telling us to study harder so will have a chance for a bright future. . it's our mothers, pressing us to stay out of trouble. it's our football coaches, setting in place from the sidelines. for many of us, god is our shadowbosses. giving us a plan, and the consequences if we don't. unfortunately, as i found writing this book, for many of our political leaders there cars shadowbosses are the government employee union bosses. they tell them what to do and which legislation to support and when to bend to the demands of the unions and the contract negotiations. they shadowbosses are there to pat the politicians on the back, and to tear them down when they do not do things in their interest. it is shocking to me, but not to people like james over here, that over 20 million people, work for government. and 41% of those people, a

amy: jennifer bates, it is fascinating that this unionizing effort that could be the first unionizeduse of amazon in the country is happening in what is known as an antiunion south, a majority black workforce and majority black town, most of the workers are women. the significance of this? >> well, i really did not think it would be this significant. starting out, we were nervous at first. but understanding now how it would change history, it will be a big impact because it looks like amazon is choosing a lot of low-income communities. and i think because of that, it brgs a lot of light and this will be one of the first amazon facilities that people remember from this day forward. and then it is black history. amy: can you talk about the schedule of the vote, how long two people have to vote? it began last week, the voting. >> they have until march 29 to get all of the ballots in. amy: march 29 to get all of the ballots in? michael foster, can you talk about why you see the union organizing here is a racial justice issue? i'm looking at a piece in wired that talks about the history o

but yet to be an union is the 1st trading partner dupion union is russia greatest source of foreign and direct direct investment. russian students on among the largest group of beneath the series of it are the most produced program and university exchanges and most of the european union visas. to russian citizens. russia is our biggest neighbor is part of europe and engagement with russia is therefore of game potence for debian union. however events both the toman abroad. it's a difficult thing. to have a relationship that we dreamt in the ninety's when we talk about europe from lisbon to radical stuck this is today much more difficult than 20 years ago or 30 years ago. my visit going side with your arrest and sentencing of a legacy. under arrest of sadness and with the most rigorous. that you can expect i have to convey to minister lavrov our deep concern and great to rated our appeal to his release on the launch of an impersonal investigation of his by any. why we fully respect russia over 80. and its own responsibility of the guarding their fulfillment of which international commitme

they know that a union brother any union sister mean sacrifice?ing -- thing is most important is dignity, the right to stand up and grief. the right to know that they can stand when they're pushing and shoving. if you go into a town that's anti union, many times were refused accommodations in hotels and motels. some of our phone calls are and city officials chased a subway with the sheriff. taken out of our car, rope around your neck, told, if you ever come back here will kill you. many times a worker will say, i'm for you, but don't park a car close to house because the boss will know and i'll get fired tomorrow. it takes a lot of courage for a worker to sign a union card. the workers have got courage, a lot of them have. ♪ ♪ ♪ if i had a hammer i'd hammering the morning i hammer in the evening all over this land i'd hammered freedom i'd hammer out justice i'd have wrote hope between the brothers and sisters all over this land. >> they say we are not ready. how can i give him something he's not ready for? but i am ready, i have been ready. maybe

you also had a pin of the union with erratic script. it says vote for the union.you have another one that says -- with a symbol for women. something that i saw was very interesting with all the pens, they referred to the reach of the boycott. to the international and multicultural reach, the pink would be the erratic message that speaks about the many members that were part of the movement. this was a movement that has often been referred to as mainly a mexican and mexican american movement however it was broader than that. filipinos were extremely important to the movement. but also there were african american workers. there were puerto rican workers. a series of pins speaks to the multi cultural reach. and international reach as well with the whole message of this being a moral cause. this is a bit of a conclusion wall to the exhibition. we see -- as leading a life of community organizing. dolores has been arrested two dozen times, and actually in the late 19 eighties she was the victim of severe beatings by police at a peaceful protest. she was so severely beat

but the thing is that the other unions and they are much stronger you might say the unions a represent just a regular working people like in construction. the auto workers etc etc well the employees have been everything that they can to weaken labor unions and it's going to take a lot of laws to be able to support them for instance a lot of the industry then look to the south where you have right to work laws were getting better getting rid of those what right to work laws in the south they place like texas would actually make it easier for workers to be able to join labor unions in the 1st place but the other thing is is that the employers they lie and they see ok when i was referring to what happened here with publishing 22 in california. and that it took away any possible right of work as a workers who drive the supers and lives and these are they getting driver's door dash it wouldn't it wouldn't they and they did this by lying literally to the to the public spending so you know when you're dealing with people who lie cheat and deprive their workers of been of theirs and they shoul

the union we can come back to this. now, let's talk about the military objectives initially abraham lincoln informed by his principal military advisor winfield scott winfield scott does a no kidding traditional two-page information paper to the boss that says look, truth be told he was from virginia loyal to the union. he says we don't want to invade the south we'll end up with 15 devastated provinces. we'll have to occupy for decades and it will clear drupal the cost that would take to occupy them. then they would contribute to our nation in taxes. we don't want to do that. what we should do is blockade the coastline send a force down the mississippi river. we will isolate them and calmerheads will prevail and they'll come back into the union now, there's some problems with this. that's a 3500 mile coastline at the time the united states navy has about 60 ships. readiness was really important to the navy back then too. so at any one time 12 of them could go to see for the time that it would take to build the navy would

in while the european union the u.k. have clashed over vaccine supply germany has threatened extra zeneca with legal action over vaccine delays saying the company should face penalties if it gives britain preferential treatment. if it turns out that individual company is to not complying with the legations a decision must be made about legal consequences well while we've heard of threats of legal action from peter out by just there the german economy minister there are some signs of a ripoff from are being attempted to be made but in this 3 way dispute between the european union the united kingdom and the pharmaceutical giant astra zeneca the vaccine manufacturer has said that an extra $9000000.00 doses of the job will be sent to the european union in the 1st quarter of 2021 take the total to be delivered through till march open to up to $40000000.00 now that's still well short of the 102120 1000000 that the e.u. was promised back in august of last year but a slip on the line the e.u. commission president tweeted out tha

to go to i think that we have to do a better job of elevating why it's important to add unions but unions also have to do a better job of explaining their story themselves oh i couldn't agree more and centrist thing too because these big conglomerates now are like going right to the f.b.i. because in 2012 it was reported the wal-mart developed the central i's surveillance system headed by a former f.b.i. officer and this system was used to track employees activities sentiment and political sympathies because they realized if you want surveillance of employees go to the u.s. government but this isn't the the f.b.i. going back to the 1919 the agency established its general intelligent division and used the red squads to disrupt labor organizing a once again unless the rubber is going into that era that resulted in what was called the palmer raids a little known piece of u.s. history of 199020 that so roughly 10000 people arrested by the f.b.i. over suspected ties to communists and labor radical groups like we just cannot stand organized labor in this country we've been doing it for a long t

the union has to you approve the deal.o, children will go back once the virus risk level goes down. the union says city leaders need to step up and make vaccines available. in philly, the union told teachers not to go back to school today. they say the city didn't old up to their end of the bargain. new york city, parents, students and local leaders are demanding the return of public school sports after nearly a year. one state leader blasting the ban, saying what's happening to our youth is disgusting and unnecessary, there is no scientific justification to prevent students from playing, it's causing harm and impacting their lives. joining us now, patrick godfrey. thanks for being here. how frustrating is it to see athletes all across the country getting the opportunity to play their sports when you haven't been able to? >> yes, thank you for having me, first and foremost. but seeing all these athletes across the country play their seasons, 34 states have played a successful fall season of football and then the remaining

there are no more union defenders beyond the right and of greens line. the rest of the 12 core is on march to shoulder up in bolster up the union lined down by little roundup. and to close at that story as darkness is setting, the men of the 12 were coming to save the day, they got lost on their march towards a little roundup. they get their long after dark long after the battle is over, long after the other units of the fifth core and other units and shored up the end of the line. by the time the members of the 12 core i got there, they said thanks for coming, you can go packing. so there are no more defenders past greens position, and greens line ends here with 137. there are no other union soldiers needs an occupied places that have been occupied earlier in the day. this is a weak point in any line, of the confederate army. so weak line of any line, you attack them on the flank, you attack them in the rear, you roll up the position. greens line is under immense attack, and immense pressure on the far-right end of the line. one of the reasons for that

many people do belong to the union.what about them. haven't they got the right to, the law says they have the right to join unions of their own choice. where will you draw the line? >> i want deal with anybody that doesn't work for me. >> the plaintiff the union is those that can negotiate more courageously than its employees. >> i don't want you to think that i'm going to walk into anything like that. trying to press all the others. >> you've got to accept something you know. i'm not sure that they would accept this but i want to propose it to them as a possibility, as a basis for the beginning of talks with your company and people. >> i don't think so. i don't want to do anything. >> i think i'm at liberty to tell you this, they are going to deal with them on something along those lines. >> i should think that that might be a good thing. next we have a second conversation when he goes back on his word. >> this is towards the end. probably late january. >> like to february 11th. in that ed for the anniversary. >> that

so if we are inside the union where all the states at the same. i don't understand why there are still subsidies big problems and this equation is quite difficult for a lot of workers because you have 2 major that hold the trucks that come from imported from italy to austria camp also from the south of italy and can also from the mediterranean harrier because a lot of cross come from that bartok of green this is the part of bali that part of the very so if the big problem for all the european union and if you wanted to build the united states of europe. sometimes explain this is not the. correct way but if we want to build a europe that is a europe of the nation i think that they are tons of books there are very good at just my original question i francesca was how do you think that the 6 countries will respond because obviously they're putting coronavirus above the needs of their economy for the moment. i think that the whole of the countries especially of the country lost their he's to europe when they say they undermined the importance of that

the union army during the american civil war. and when war broke out in 1861 green and his family were living in new york city. and when lincoln would put up that call for volunteers after the firing on -- and charleston harbor as we heard from his presentation and the virtual some podium green didn't volunteer his services. he would wait and wait and wait. but finally in general of 1862 he could wait no longer. green decided to offer his prior military experience to the union army. he would be assigned command of the 60th new york volunteer infantry. between january 1862 with the battle of gettysburg in july of 1863, little had been written about green and his performance of the battlefield. there have been several knows here and there by other officers in the brigade of which he served. several of his subordinates that fought underneath him in the 60th new york. perhaps it was lieutenant colonel william fox in his dedication remarks and the life of military services of general green. he would later write perhaps the best descri

second class union.ough some efforts to bridge those differences, but their leadership never -- who was the most prominent and strongest organizer for the filipinos and delay no, ends up leaving integrates frustration. i write about some of his comments and his remarks and say his unhappiness when he felt that travis cannot delegate, would not delegate. so the filipinos become marginalized and then travis in an effort to sort of do something about that in a very discarded effort, and the 1977 it to the philippines of the guests are ferdinand marco's. and that becomes this polarizing event as well. and praises martial law, anyway, there is quite a bit about the filipino, i talked about it but there is an important part of the story about the filipinos. >> and i believe part of the meetings were held in filipino hall, for the most part. and i believe that the filipino community has denounced part of the film, because the filipinos were shown in the background and not in the forefront. i believe when the gr

the union president says he talked to the white house about their campaign to unionize, and pro-unioner the weekend from senator bernie sanders who sent pizza to workers rallying for the unionization. he also tweeted this: it cannot be overstated how powerful it will be if amazon workers in alabama vote to form a union. they are taking on powerful anti-union forces in a strong anti-union statement, but their victory will benefit every worker in america. i'm proud to stand with them. gerry, voting ends in mid march. they have seven weeks to get their ballot in. appleson did push to, for in-person voting because they were worried that it would lead to a lower turnout and also had some questions about whether or not there could be foul play with mail-in voting, but they're opting to go that route. gerry: tensions in the progressive coach, they're often on the same side, but when it comes to unions and wages, amazon is not so progressive, perhaps. thank you very much, indeed. president biden wants to be a uniter, but after canceling the keystone pipeline, he's facing a fracture with one o

from the founders of the european union limitations the deliberate limiting of union power as part of the project well against the project was that the economy would be under the supervision of the the e.u. use to try to see as you call it the european commission in particular and that the social dimension should be left to the member states who should be free to develop social policies the problem is you cannot meet that distinction it is not a watertight distinction you can trace and of course that is. conny choice is done and you can let her affect your mistakes to conduct social policies at domestic level in particular because to finance or protection schemes you need to have progressive taxation which cannot afford to have if you're competing across the e.u. with other member states so we have to rethink the construct and that is why in my report i call for rethinking those choices now as a crisis has shown the fragility of the european integration because as we've built i'm sure you've met a few of the lobbyists of the national in brussels as regards salary increases what do you

well as you can imagine brussels is not very happy about that for the european union for the europeancommission the reason why they were so eager to have a common big scene rollout and vaccine strategy is was to make sure that every member state will get in their fake scenes that no one is left behind so to see hunger is breaking with the vaccine strategy no way no one is happy about that because the fact that hungary is the 1st state in the european union to approve and now to administer the chinese vaccine is also seen as as a huge credibility boost for beijing that is seen by the european union as a systemic rival but we also have to say that member states are allowed to buy the scenes outside of the contract that the european union signed collectively floor for its members with different vaccine makers launch you member states or frustrated about the slow pace of rollout of the covert vaccines what are the chances that some of those states might follow hungary's lead well i think we cannot rule that out check fryman establish for example visits and put up a few weeks ago to learn

um, i think that unions -- i believe unions are serious in terms of wanting to see kids educated, but nothing unions to some degree have conflicting views. for example -- i heard shavar talk about the democratic party needs to be pushed on some issues. the other thing the democrat party has the push unions on is more accountability. as the union president, and i will be very honest, up until i had this this a-ha moment of quality education for kids, i didn't have a teacher that was a bad teacher. that's ridiculous because we've got bad folks in every profession. i'm just saying, the democratic party has the push unions more on accountability and quality instruction. that is one of the things that i think is going to be important. i do believe unions from a philosophical standpoint would support quality education as a civil right. again, i am not speaking on behalf of of the decision-makers. i'd be very surprised if unions wouldn't get behind any type of legal action that would guarantee kids a quality education. regarding how unions view other schools outside the traditional public sc

virus at least when it comes to the european union special reportorially being the shooter now joins me from brussels levey thanks so much for coming on i mean the e.u. is in the news for nearly destroying the good friday agreement for a vaccination war your report suggesting that well what's called the often the greatest capitalist project in history is not fit for purpose how did you arrive at that conclusion. but essentially my report tries to show that the e.u. is not willing crits to comment on beauty because it has organized competition between the member states in matters in the area of wages and and social contributions for years we refer to this as to school dumping in social them and also because it imposes on member states very tights macroeconomy street jackets in order to avoid macroeconomy imbalances across the e.u. this makes it very difficult for states to spend money on social investment at the risk of increasing their public that until today is a unique opportunity to really rethink these issues and perhaps better recruit the youth to it to alleviate poverty within

next week, amazon has people voting on a proposal to whether they unionize or not unionize. we have had several manufacturing jobs in our state that have turned it down. what advice would you give to them when they go to vote next week? what can the union do for them? mayor walsh: i think you vote your heart. listen to both sides of the conversation. the key is that you have the right to organize and everyone has the right to organize. everyone should be able to organize. they organize and the union that they organize with will have the opportunity to go in and negotiate good salary, benefits, all that good stuff. for the workers, i am not as familiar with what is going on in alabama with amazon, but i know with the workers there has been a lot of interest in workers wanting to be any union because they felt the disparities on the job site. sen. tuberville: i would hope that in this job you would not feel the need to put your hand on the scale to convince people to do whatever because we have had pretty good success with it but, mayor good luck to you. i hope people know you

, a former union president, i want to make sure i'm not speaking for becky in nea-- i think that unions, i believe that unions are serious in terms of wanting to see kid educated. and conflicting views and i hear about shavar talk about the democrat party and pushed on issues. and i think the others have to push union laws as more accountability. as a union president and i'll be very honest, right, up until i had this as as oprah called an a-ha moment for quality education about kids, i didn't have a teacher that was a bad teacher. and that's ridiculous. because we've got bad folks in every profession, but i'm just saying that democratic party has to push unions more on accountability and structure. you think r i believe that unions from a philosophical standpoint would support quality education as a civil right, but again, i'm not speaking on behalf of the decision makers, but i think, i'd be very surprised if unions wouldn't get behind any type of legal action that would guarantee kids right to a quality education. there are some issues regarding how unions view other schools outside

more poor people and others have richer people isn't that competition baked in to the whole european union project well there is a very strong tendency since at least 30 years to basically blame poverty young on the people who are the victims of poverty by interviews izing that they should seek to be better qualified that they should be more active in the search for employment and they made the wrong choices in life and should beat them blame themselves for their condition but that is simply not realistic we've actually seen many people who cannot find work despite their efforts because of the difficulties of reconciling family with with with work life because of their health problems because they do not have access to procure qualifications and let us not forget that large number of people but with young children children crew have committed no crime but who are inflicted this lifelong sentence of having to bear with the consequences of its you which as we know should be a handicap to them for their adult lives and that is simply unacceptable almost one quarter of children in the e.u. are

pay back to the teachers union to help get him elected but the legacy of putting unions before students continues with joe biden. he is following in his old boss' footsteps and bowing for the teachers union. he's lying to the parents and he's hurting students if he promised to help. but more importantly, he is not following the science. in 20 make governor scott walker is one of the only governors to fight the teachers union and win. governor walker, had to have you want today because you are really the only person in america who has fought the teachers union and won. tell us how you did it. >> well, we made the case to the people of the state and that's exactly what we need to do with the american people. i think you are right. this is about the union boss and not the teachers. teachers overwhelmingly understand these kids across the country desperately need to get back into the classroom. we need to make that case in chicago, the mayor that i don't often agree on politics, but she's a democrat and i'm obviously a republican. she is absolutely right. for weeks, she's been trying to get

are they in the union, are they out of the union? abraham lincoln always insisted that they were in the union, whether they like to their. not the reason he said it was not so much because he loved having them there but because he always insisted that succession was illegal and constitutional and possibility. wall is a legal unconstitutional in possibility, you couldn't. levy were still estate. then how are you worried to be treated. so questions like this cluster around, about what to do with the end of the war, and we don't have a lot of ready made answers in front of us. the people who did think they had already made answers stepped forward and then often had those answers blow up in their face. >> in the book, you say that abraham lincoln actually had been planning for reconstruction since as far back as 1863, even though as you also mentioned, lincoln when he mentioned the word reconstruction which was rare, that there were always some describing words. for some reason, he didn't like the word reconstruction, maybe it has someth

and all members of the european union under phenomenon brussels bureau chief thank you. the spanish capital madrid is under fewer la da measures than many other european cities but care homes have kept tight restrictions on their residence movements getting vaccinated has allowed the madrid pensioners in our next report to finally venture out on a trip and they made sure it was a special one. now today is cause for celebration. for a 92 year old milagro had 9 days it's her 1st time leaving the care home in almost a year milagro caught the coronavirus last spring but has since recovered along with a few friends she strolls along the bustling streets of madrid and heads to the theatre . hi honey i got so heated so long since i've been to the theatre but i love the crown via that's madrid just like me makes me feel at home that maddening. going to see a shill is always a treat but it's a particularly special one for milagro and the other pensioners freshly vaccinated and free their reveling in this. thread those who spent a year cooped up in their care homes today symbolize

and of last week we had the high commissioner from the european union with the foreign policy portfolio basically got his blank handed to him here in moscow the tone of this relationship despite my lot of relationship has changed remarkably what accounts for it george well i think the russians have really got fed up with the attitudes of both the european union and the united states whether they think that they can get some kind of agreements and deals with the russians a whole host of things that they want agreements with. the russians have sort of said look if you want to work with us 1 on issues of energy on issues of 1 vaccine issues of migration drugs and so on we have to to work with you but if you want to play these games and constantly use us as a football and say well you know you're interfering our elections you will be hind a coup in montenegro. you know you were poisoning people in our streets using chemical weapons on our streets and then what about in the valley if you want to play that game then we're not interested you know we we we've got our own agreements with our own

and previous views about joining the union or leaving the european union...mfortable position. and this kind of showboating about borisjohnson... geoffrey. it's important, janet... i think these are not simply rational decisions. as we saw with brexit, there is a lot of emotion and misinformation that informs these kind of decisions. i think the irony of seeing borisjohnson sneaking into scotland, he didn't reveal his agenda in advance, travel plans, he didn't want protesters, he essentially went to scotland to avoid meeting scottish people and for some photo ops. for him to be actually using that as an opportunity to sneak in the message of a united kingdom against scottish secession is the ultimate irony, for a man who was actually elected on a platform of home rule and bringing back control. that's not lost on the scottish people. i think that candidly nicola sturgeon's greatest ally in scottish independence is borisjohnson, he simply has no credibility on this issue and, while it is true the vaccination programme is something to be proud of in this countr
