in fact, the union movement has a new term.s called proflation, because it's a myth to say that wages are driving inflation. even the eu confirmed just this week that there is no feedback loop between wages and inflation and it's not likely that there will be, while real wages remain negative, so we're really headed towards stagflation, if not recession, because of the foolish policies of too many central banks raising interest rates. we are not in a period where we can discount the fact that if you have growth way below profits and inflation, then you are, in fact, facing grim economic circumstances. and unless we share prosperity, workers are the victims. but aren't you trying to reinvent economics if you argue that workers pushing for massive pay rises right now is not going to be inflationary, all the evidence over many years suggests that once you get into that wage price spiral, it's very hard to get out of it. well, first of all, look at the wage claims. they're hardly massive demands, given the profits that, as i said,

the union war department was able to act. they also have the backing of the union war department of the incredible publicity in the north and in europe about the fate of the prisoners of the 54th, massachusetts because the regiments organizers were rich and powerful new england republicans with international literary types. so because of this situation the united states issued general order 252 on july 31st 1863. it stated that to sell or enslave any captured person on account of this color and for no offense against the laws of war is a relapse into barbarism and a crime against the civilization of the age. so the retaliation proclaimed in this border. was that a confederate pow would be put to hard labor for every us soldier sold into slavery and that the united states would execute a confederate pow for every us soldier but to death so historians are well aware of general order 252, but what they've completely missed because they haven't gone into the weeds of retaliation incidents across time and specific departments is t

having former union employees serve in a union regulating agency creates a clear conflict of interest, but under the biden administration, this is the norm. not the exception. every level of the nlrb and the biden administration is packed with former union employees, even his labor secretary was a former union boss who still walks the picket lines. but such actions are totally on brand for this administration. president biden swore to be the, quote, most pro-union president, end quote, in american history, and big labor is now the kingpin of this administration. at this rate, president biden might as well be a stooge. republicans must work to rein in the nlrb's union zealotry. its heavy-handed actions infringe upon the freedom of workers and hamstrings employers. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. the chair recognizes the gentleman from california, mr. lamalfa, for five minutes. e pushing to add a trel in higher taxes on main street in smaller businesses. instead of worki instead of working tong address america's inflation crisis, house democrats will

the so -called elite, who destroyed the soviet union themselves, took the money and began to rebuild this empire in a new way already in 1992. a few months after the collapse, you are all just heavenly intrigues . remained and worked until today, that is, until 2023, when the war continues, so there is no need to reduce ukraine ukraine was not ukrainian in the good sense of rural political european in and we are not even the same we read a lot of history, we saw how the us- stations invented the prm after the unification in 20-25 years, you know me, dusia. even mrs. merkel, she definitely came together and was not connected. is it still what she did and did in including the passive responsibility for the war falls on the previous government. even the cars, including nobody from germany, have any of them. in this part of kyiv, there is. by the way, i really support president zelensky, who very quickly became stingy with steinmeier, that’s why you know, i’m a bit of a stambur, and i answer a lot of things. the war taught me a lot to help, including journalism. don't be shy, don't be af

the middle class built american unions, american unions built the middle class today.keeping the promise one of the most significant in 50 years of that is not hyperbole. for years and years, workers have been driving trucks from factories to stores, begging -- bagging your groceries, truck drivers, musicians. workers and so much more. with each paycheck you earn, the employers put money into their pension plans. these workers work hard today to secure retirement for tomorrow. that is what it is all about. now a lot of businesses are , unable or unwilling to run their own pension plans, and industries workers are employed by several different employers over the course of a year or longer. for example, we see that in transportation, construction, and entertainment. that represents employees, businesses in the same industry, i know you know this but people in television made not know this. pension plans that serve 11 million americans across the country, make sure these pensions are managed responsibly , and protect the federal government overseas. we have seen the risk

didn't say unions were okay. it says we should encourage unions. encourage unions.ions do well, everybody does well. everybody does well. not a joke. not a joke. so here's the deal. the deal is quite simple. when i ran, i was criticized for the basis upon which i ran. i'm running for three reasons, one, to restore the soul of america, the decency and honor of this country. and two, to rebuild the backbone of the country. the work of women and men, the middle class. you know there's a middle class for one reason, american unions. that's the only reason there's a middle class. not a joke. that's a fact. not a joke. and when the middle class does well, everybody does well. people have a way up and the wealthy still do very well. and so folks the third reason i ran was to unify the country. that's been the harder part of it right now. no, i'm serious because we've become so divided, so divided but one thing we were divide on when we ran, and you know, i want to thank mayor bibs for the passport into the city, but we were divided on the question we're celebrating today,

this e-copy of the soviet union or a mini-copy of the soviet union , then what other states could theoreticallypart of this creation that putin dreams of. none, only belarus, none of them will be packed there and then they will try to sew all these abkhazias there e- is donetsk luhansk may be a republic. well, that is, they will be playing some kind of er, some game er, which will be half propaganda, half another raising of the stakes. i don't see anyone wanting to join this union , er, even those who fundamentally depend on russia, what tajikistan itself i doubt it very much, but this story is important for putin because he believes that he is creating something around him that will be welcomed by many russians who are still nostalgic for some kind of union and who will welcome what seems to be belarus closer to russia, and in fact the process of swallowing belarus and the optimists of belarus began because of this, it happened hand and foot and teeth, because if you get under russia, all these pressures, then it will be very difficult to get out of it, and this way you can lose the country an

attacked the soviet union. germany attacked the soviet union. i apologize . finland, in turn, entered the territories that were seized by the soviet union. and by the way, in contrast to germany's aggression against the soviet union, these actions of finland were welcomed by a large part of the international community . including the united states believed that finland has every right to regain its territory. how were you captured by the soviet union in the winter? well, later on , you know, the situation changed. and finland had to to leave those territories that she promised the soviet union in the 40th year of the year and those territories that she occupied after 1641. so this story cannot be considered as such that it has not yet had a continuation, i am absolutely sure that stalin had clear plans for the continuation war against finland after 1940, that is why the kyrillo-finnish ssr was created under the leadership of otto koulsing, and i think that the soviet troops would have returned, if not for the s

but if putin could, - then he would certainly try to recreate the soviet union.oltenberg, and i quote, says, "as long as the war continues in ukraine, there will be a risk of escalation beyond ukraine." your prime minister saod in may, "i see no immediate threat of russia's war with ukraine spreading to moldova." so you don't share these fears? you have no border with russia. let me say that, of course. russia's plan was pretty clear for the last decade. also, russia's plan was to occupy kyiv in two days and to have to be met with flowers, their tanks and so on. it's about these plans keep failing and this is what we are expecting. we were and the entire country was much more anxious on the 24th of february when the war started. and then as the progress in the battlefield was quite visible to to the entire world, also the population in moldova and specifically in transnistria, the moods calmed down. so we do not see, at the moment, an immediate risk of escalation. everything depends on how the the progress evolves. just want to come back quickly to nicholas. you

well, let's start with what the soviet union is. yes, the soviet union is a huge country. it is the rsfsr. there are 14 more republics, and when we talk about the soviet union, people usually have memories of the 70s. 80s, i.e., memories of the last two decades of the existence of this state. none of these people who participated in the question, for example, talked about the soviet union in the 20s, 30s, 40s, or the poll did not become a question. what did you think about your childhood? parents saying so, for example , addressing people who are 50+ there, that is, in fact, this section refers to the brezhnev stagnation , the period when prices stabilized , life stabilized, that is, it was such a certain trap that actually preserved all understanding of what peasants' union, but i want to remind you in principle that , you know, armenian radio asked how life is in the soviet union and they answered that in the tram, half are sitting, half are shaking, 4,000 monuments to lenin , there were 20,000 busts in ukraine and 1,800 in russia, 20,000 + why so many? why do we have 4,

by the way, ivan franko in the soviet union

i think anyone can understand that once i lived in the soviet union, the soviet union was a state with an extremely inefficient economy, which, however, did not foresee the possibility of unemployment among population, i still, when i talk to people who left the soviet era and were part of the soviet economy, i hear all these words. we worked then, we had a job and a salary, and i always ask: what did you produce? you were not interested and what did it matter for a soviet person, what does it matter what you produce if they pay salaries for it, what does it matter if it is good quality this is a product and is it necessary this product was a famous song in the 70s of the last century by the russian bard oleksandr halych about the leader of the production of such balos songs who ran around all the ministries of the department with the demand to give his workshop the title of these communist workers, who is already making his products at the expense of the next ten years, and receives so many sentences and everywhere the refusal and the listener of this song could not understand why iva

in fact it is quite a lot. such a loop of history as for us with candidate status in the european unionletion of a loop of events that began at the beginning of the 18th century and the return of ukraine as the center of the eu to europe where we actually were, and similarly after a long period of sweden's neutrality, finland too what was happening behind the scenes is returning there now, this is nato's understanding that they need to start a large-scale program before disruption, taking into account new technologies, taking into account artificial intelligence and many other things, and you saw what was adopted at the g7 summit the decision is to further limit russia's access to these technologies, russian intelligence is working like crazy in european countries, the united states, hey, you saw in bulgaria that they already got everyone there, they bought everyone's optima at retail and almost the entire embassy is sent there, glory, glory be to you, lord as they say, it should have been done a long time ago, and even the bulgarians, who feel a certain kinship with the slavic country

and this is what they told us about unions. our employees have the choice of whether or not to join a union. they always have, as the company, we don't think unions are the best answer for our employees. i'll focus remains on working directly with our team to continue making amazon a great place to work. but it's not just amazon. starbucks has seen more than 180 stalls file a petition to form a union and counting. google and apple have also seen union activity. janera ties knows both sides of the battle. she worked at the end r o b for 10 years. the federal agency that enforces labeled now she works with companies as a labor and employment law partner, and i commit. she's not certain whether this trend is a new labor movement. if you look at millennials engines the years, i think there, paul, very ambitious. and so the idea of being committed to working in one workplace for an extended career over time to the point where they could truly see a lot of the benefit of unionization, is still sort of, you know, out there as a questi

in other countries, we can only turn to our partners from the european union and america.is very good that america directly published a list of 18 countries that contribute to it's not just a desire, it's money in russia now there is too much money due to the high price of oil and it is simply buying allies by buying many times more expensive and corrupt countries that have the right people who are ready to do everything for money whatever they contribute to this, the sanctions that can be applied are secondary sanctions , that is, a country that helps to circumvent european union sanctions or american sanctions must immediately fall under the same sanctions, that is, any cooperation with such e-e firms by companies must be immediately under the ban and, accordingly , settlements, including those with foreign partners , should be closed, only such holes can be banned and closed, respectively, one of the kodovsky well, accordingly, it is probably already legendary the question of the siemens turbine, yes, canada gave permission, we understand that the situation there is not

reforms, a few later we will return to the question of whether to expand the european union.d this was exactly the position of portugal, spain, all of them there are several countries, well, the second is such a beast , let’s say these countries, or perhaps he didn’t say, so it’s the southern ones, let’s say austria, so they had an argument that if we provide something from ukraine, then let’s provide what with the countries of the western balkans. this you really just know that the 27 member countries of the european union each have their own vision of their interests, their own different vision of what this war in ukraine means, let's say for these countries, some simply do not see that, let's say clearly, all the possible effects for the development, in principle , and these were very difficult and difficult negotiations . well, i am very glad that in the end, and i would really like to say that russula von der leyen played a big positive role in this, because if in these negotiations, which were already under way the time of the summit yes she simply provided the facts, a

the regime also works through mass public organization such as the communist youth league and trade unions the agitation and propaganda component of the armed forces and the national educational system to indoctrinate various elements of the population. moreover party propaganda professionals are dispatched continuously to enforce ideological conformity within the vast network and to provide the appropriate party lines. socialist indoctrination soviet style is introduced early in a child's education. each classroom contains its own lenin corner a small area set up to deify the exploits of lenin as the great leader of the first socialist revolution in the world. in music class for example children learn to express their love for lenin through hymns that are sung on holidays. soviet elementary education is characterized by a suffocating paternalism and assurance of personal security is offered by the state in return for strict conformity and the suppression of individual expression. in art classes, for example all children are required to draw the same object in exactly the same way and usin

it’s all a special operation. its gas to the european union, as ukraine has already done.sentially the first country in europe to refuse 100% of russian gas and russian oil and petroleum products . what do you think? you have already said about the option when is it possible for the european union to completely refuse russian gas? can we hope that the so -called seventh sanctions package will not exactly ban the complete import of russian gas? after all, the european union will not go for it, well, we cannot hope for this at all, because we know that there are other options in the seventh package - it's gold and goods, which means products for the military-industrial complex, there is something else , there is no gas there and there will not be, well, in principle, gazprom imposed sanctions on itself because it stopped supplies along the gas pipelines there is small zahidna europe, through belarus, reduced supplies to poland by 60% to the territory of ukraine and stopped supplies and whether or not supplied gas in limited volumes through the nord stream alone, that is, gaz

i have seen the constitution of the union of soviet socialist republics. is fully listed in this country and some members of nato also happened there, see the independence of latvia, lithuania, estonia was recognized by the state council of the soviet union itself, and the state council of the soviet union itself recognized the fact of the occupation of these countries by the soviet union, so that latvia, lithuania, estonia are supposedly outside this legal history and it is the soviet union that was already disintegrating, it is possible from the point of view of the russian leadership that they are a legal method because the decision of such a corresponding decision of some state council of the ussr on recognition i don't want the independence of ukraine or georgia

that is , the soviet union has not yet collapsed.hop of the kiev exarchate of the ukrainian exarchate russian orthodox church there was no ukrainian church yet, there was a russian orthodox church ukrainian exarchate. they are already writing a petition to the holy synod, but that's what they get. they receive autonomy, this is a car, in fact, autocephaly, because they are absolutely not controlled by the russian orthodox church. not only are they not self-governing independent, to be emphasized in practice, well, moreover, they are in the governing structures of the russian orthodox church; the russian orthodox church does not have its representative in the senod ukrainian orthodox church, but spiritual communion is preserved. yes, spiritual communion is preserved, but again, it is preserved by the efforts of the roc, which tries not to notice many arts, the ukrainian orthodox church was forced to rely, probably the roc in the fight against ukrainian nationalists, not because it did not love them. because they did not like her schis

include unionization, forget the story from our u. s. correspondence to that time again, d, w, business. germany's flight carrier airline. lufthansa has canceled more than a 1000 flights due to a strike by ground stuff at its hubs in frankfurt and munich. the strike comes after dandy germany's largest trade union rejected him of tons of pay offer. at the end of june. it's calling for 9.5 percent pay rise for some 20000 workers. the work stoppage just adds to the challenges. lufthansa is already facing, including rising energy prices, inflation and staff shortages, affecting thousands of passengers a day. his what they're saying about the strike. we have to stay in life. it's safe to get quite, quite back because they're gonna start to do that. okay. and also our parents, they're traveling to nigeria. so it's like we would if we don't get a fight back in like a few days, then we'll be able to see them for like almost 3 months because we have these people who are on strike. i think they have a you, i did not quite a one this, but someho

one of the great things about being on this site is this is a great union town and this is a union site one of our essential partners in this has been the aflcio and their investment team and they are a core part of this so so proud to be union (inaudible) even more proud to be partnering with the aflcio to build housing for folks who are being pushed out of the e city and making this a possibility. we have funding from merchant capital a bank essential to make this work. in order it do this kind of work you need tax credit intervesting and enterprise community partners stood up and stood with us even during all the times during the pandemic. we also have of course a great partnership with the state and california department of housing and community development is also core to making this work. unusually for a project like this, we also have a significant private foundation that when things were looking somewhat dire could we gelt across the finish line and make it work the harry fineburg foundation said the work you do is essential, permanent spoteive is the solution. unusual for a pri

friendship costs the soviet union very dearly.ll, there are more and more friends. with soviet money and with the participation of soviet specialists, sports complexes are being built in indonesia, institutes in perm, metallurgical plants in india, and even entire cities throughout africa for khrushchev, this is one of the most effective ways to wage the cold war. who will win more friends they or us? on october 4, 1957 , a new rocket designed by korolev takes off from the baikonur cosmodrome; it launches the world's first artificial earth satellite into orbit. the reaction of the west to the soviet satellite exceeded even the wildest expectations. khrushchev, the sense of security and permissiveness that accompanied the americans for decades was destroyed in an instant, if the reds were able to launch a satellite into space, then soviet missiles could reach america. kushchev was glad of such a reaction, even though we are in this west wiped the nose of the americans from this moment on, he begins to frighten the west with the spa

but that's up to the european union who made their minds about that. the only thing that i would like to reiterate now and need to just number the things that we are witnessing now. i'm speaking about the switch reaction of the west and ration of brussels and many other european capital as well. no green to what is happening in the ukraine. now i would like to remind you that for many here it's not proper for anything that is can use we in our relations with the european union, we're not trying to build the architect to build mutually beneficial architecture, including regarding the foreign policy matters. just use the poetry unless we have partially succeeded use of the charter, william disagree or be in union, has always been arrogance. over a long fanny samson, to build the balance of interest. you may have always preferred to make decisions 1st and you know, and then impose advanced decisions as some kind of ultimate true. truth is mature. listen, you're looking at the train. it has not started and based family refers. they had the who did taught i

and this is what they told us about unions. our employees have the choice of whether or not to join a union. they always have, as a company, we don't think unions are the best answer for our employees. our focus remains on working directly with our team to continue making amazon a great place to work. back of the warehouse in north carolina. these 4 kids say they are determined to organize and confident it will happen. i believe in hagney, we are going to be the leads me to happen and that we will be ignored that, you know, we're here. you see that you see us here today. ah, to be quite honest, they don't know what to do. if they do legal face an uphill battle, convincing amazon to join them at the negotiating table for collective bargaining. german airline, lufthansa has cancelled more than a 1000 flights due to a strike by ground stuff. unions want a nearly 10 percent pay rise for $20000.00 workers. perplexed looks at flight display boards. long lines in front of counters were stranded. passengers hope to catch an alternative

sol think it will depend union to union on what _ think it will depend union to union on what happensout a general strike are a bit getting into a silly thing. staying with the yorkshire _ getting into a silly thing. staying with the yorkshire post, - getting into a silly thing. staying with the yorkshire post, when i getting into a silly thing. staying i with the yorkshire post, when you were talking about us getting weary of strike actions, because it's right across the sector, everyone would like a 10% pay increase, meaning they aren't actually losing money in terms of their wages when it comes to inflation. but do you see the gamble for unions because of public opinion? this is really inconveniencing millions of people, you know, rail tickets are expensive, as well. if you can't guarantee getting to work by rail, people will get quite upset, won't they? riff people will get quite upset, won't the ? .., , , people will get quite upset, won't the ? , , ., ., they? of course they are. however, ou know they? of course they are. however, you know how _ they? of course they are. however

the first question that they ask you, i am with the union. i am proud to be with the union. when i joined the union when i was a kid, it felt like a professional. i was part of the screen actors guild and aftra. it made me feel like a real pro. i am trying to elevate our cachet on the national landscape so that young people are more engaged and also feel that desire to be part of this great union in the entertainment industry. >> how did the will smith incident fran: i do not think it changed anything. you cannot assault people. that is the bottom line. or maybe we can, but now i don't think we can. [laughter] we are not really changing our policy. i grew up with the expression, sticks and stones can break my bones but names can never hurt me. i am a pacifist. but you cannot hurt anybody. i know will but i also know chris. chris is what my family would call very mensche. and to turn lemons into lemonade, this is an opportunity for will to examine what triggered him. he has been in front of the camera since he was a child and he has no history of something like this. so when

it was a rather european union. and the whole ukrainian crisis, which we see now in the full scale, started with the idea of association agreement, 2013. of course, now we see that there is basically no difference in the european union. but at that time, your opinion emphasized that is something completely different, and russia actually accepted this, saying that it hurts our interests. but to understand that it's not about security . why nature was so keen to expand, of course, and the thing jupiter go instinct which here, which is there. and if we look at the battlefield today and ukraine, we will see the names of cities and towns which were mentioned in the same context 100 years ago. 300 years ago. so this is an area of field, for instance, and permanent jew political competition in eastern europe. so that when you talk about instant geopolitical competition, it has a sort of instinctual and somewhat unconscious filter. because you come from a school of rail politik and this is a very cognitive, very sort of mou

ethiopia to some extent was also traditionally dependent on the soviet union, then on russia.t again, ethiopia takes a neutral position, this is very it is indicative because they perfectly understand uganda and the congo and ethiopia, and that they depend heavily on the west in matters of the food crisis, and i reject that is why they do not accept any side of the president of the vice-president of the european parliament kateryna barli called to deprive hungary of the right to vote in the european union because the rule of law is being violated in the country and budapest uses the principle of unanimity in the eu as a means of blackmail, a german deputy from the social democratic party said about this on thursday, today, in an interview with publications in this day , diar, a relevant quote maybe now it's time to speed up this procedure according to article seven of the eu agreement and temporarily deprive hungary of the right to vote for e-e now in the case of hungary it has really turned into a means of blackmail, well, it is meant. the application of the principle of unan

by the way of the european union, you see that they are already ready to create new principles of workecause they are already discussing that it is not necessary to make a consensus decision when all 27 countries make a decision and it can cost one of them hmmm rejection of this or that decision, that is, many countries. i think that there are many institutions that manifested themselves in different ways during the russian-ukrainian or ukraine -russian war, they will be forced to reform , and i think that is too much now, i really apologize er, it demonstrates just that dignity, it seemed like it was lost a year ago, mr. yaroslav. i am sure that you have something to add. we are indeed witnesses of the great capacity of the european union and the big seven and nato and other democratic international institutions that have now united to help ukraine , if only these are the reforms of these institutions that president zelenskyy had in mind. well, now we will hear from other heads of our ministries and agencies about what reforms we would like to see in these structures, first of all, i

property of the so- called trade union, what are we talking about ?that is unclear to this day, to whom they ultimately belong, although according to the documents, it is all the property of the state, in fact, it is in its own hands, or the administration is private individuals who decide who gets to access to this and who received any profit from it. for example, we can take the city of morshin, a sanatorium-resort city, where it would be possible to develop a very powerful tourist infrastructure, literally, and build a lot of sanatoriums , but unfortunately, most of the territory of the city and more the sources are owned by the so -called trade union organizations, it is unclear how it is used, it is unclear where the profit from the fact that people visit these trade union sanatoriums is paid, and it is the same until the end the state does not receive this money, there are enough of such situations scattered all over the country, there are simply hundreds or thousands of objects that could either serve for the benefit of citizens, for example, t
