when it comes to unions, specifically one lady spoke about the postal union. i was a member of the national association of letter carriers, and this comes about i think because of really poor union leadership. they don't make convenient hours for the members to come to general meetings. every time we get a raise they raise our dues. of the in not part crowd and supporting the leadership, there is a chance you won't get represented or will not get represented well in a grievance. because ofame about port union leadership. as the gentleman says, why should he have to pay dues for nothing, get nothing? the leadership of the national association of letter carriers, they get a pension from the union. the members don't get no pension from the union, they get it from the post office. and they were so bad at one they were winning elections by acclimation. i put up three tickets against them and i was given a death threat and told i was going to be killed. and the government was informed of it and they did nothing. they buried the case. this is because unions are a far

the union subsidy. unions contend that official time is necessary because federal employee unions are required by law to represent embe who d not pay dues. this problem can easily be solved by lifting the legal requirement for federal employee unions to represent nonmembers. congress should consider implementing what is known as workers choice, a members only union policy that relieves unions of the obligatn to represent nonmembers. as a result, eliminates the need for official time. membership in and representation by a union should be voluntary. nonmembers should not be forced to work under a union negotiated agreement they do not want, and unions should no be forced to represent employees who do not pay dues. a policy of workers choice addresses union concerns, eliminates the need for official time, and protects workers' freedom of association. short of eliminating official time, federal agencies must track and record official time in greater detail and with more precision. under the current accounti

union movement. that's why the ultraconservatives want to undermine it. they couldn't do it legislatively, so they are taking to the courts. shame on this court for this decision, especially on top of citizens united. it undermines the first amendment and undermines our democracy. some of these decisions that could be affected if they're casual about decisions made would be rolled versus wade, women's right, lgbtq writes are all at stake. under the gop control of washington, jobs, healthcare, basic rights are under threat on this trump court. what is at stake is a character of america and the future of our children. that is why were pleased. we have a better deal, better jobs that are future and part of that is the legislation reference by the leader is being introduced today that the senator introduce. we are going to fight this. this is about the character of america, the strength of the middle class which is the backbone of our democracy. high-yield to representative cartwright of pennsylvania who

they get ahip, pension from the union. they do not get a pension from the union. they get it from the post office. were winning elections by acclamation. i put up three tickets and was given a death threat and told i was going to be killed. the government was informed and they did nothing. they buried the case. from what a far cry they used to be in our country. they used to stick up for the workers. they had apprenticeship programs for you have people who performed the job well. you,i'm going to tell there is a tremendous not of people that do not earn their day and that starts at the top. host: what is your thoughts? have: unions are going to to become more transparent and answer to membership. they are going to have to produce a product, if you want to call it that that is going to entice people to join the union and offer something just like somebody that manufactures a dishwasher or automobile, as to why you should live that product. i think that is going to be the major been it. it is going to strengthen the unions. there will be that transparency. there wil

core principle of european union and european union is based on principles of liberalism your country is and nation based conservative country which is not a good thing or a bad thing russia is the same way so. on the ideological level there are like just so many differences in the basics it's not about economics they why do you want to be part of the union so much that opposes everything that you guys stand for well actually. it's not everything is opposed if i think you know if you know if you look at the statistics for example how many infringement procedures are going on against us and others you will see that we are some they are in the middle so there is nothing extraordinary in this regard yeah we have definitely debate based on ideology as well for example you know when it comes to the fact that when an election is not won by the liberals then the system is immediately goes to do or does not a democracy which is totally unacceptable if the liberals do what we need to be a democracy of course so that's why what we what we are trying to build in hungary or what we are intending

-- to do union work. is that something that the unions are supposed to be involved in? mr. kovacs? >> certainly labor unions have every right to engage in political activities. i would just say that the taxpayers shouldn't have to subsidize their representation. >> that is the point i'm getting at. i realize my time has expired. i want to recognize the ranking member for five minutes. >> i think the chair. what is good for the goose is good for the gander. if we're going to talk about political support i wonder what kind of tax payout sheldon elson got and the coke brothers got in the recent tax cut bill. and who do they support? almost exclusively republican. if we are going to talk about quid pro quo or the implication of would croak well i would be glad -- of quid pro quo i would be glad to have that discussion. labor unions support those who support them. they act in their own interest. mr. west would you agree with that? >> i would agree with that. all the activities we are talking about, the establi

membership goes down, union density rates go down, union resources go down. we've seen it again and again. mancur olson spoke about it in the foundational text of behavioral economics. we also know that, intangibly, there are plenty of studies that show that when unions are deprived of agency fees, they tend to become more militant, more confrontational, they go out in search of short-term gains that they can bring back to their members and say stick with us. justice roberts: well, the argument on the other side, of course, is that the need to attract voluntary payments will make the unions more efficient, more effective, more attractive to a broader group of their employees. what's wrong with that? mr. franklin: well, two things that -- that i would say about that. first, the studies that i've read indicate that, yes, there can be an initial first flush of mobilization and organizing when something like this gets taken away, but that over the long term, human nature and basic economics dictate that the free-rider problem will become endemic and, not only tha

union must show unity. if you put into consideration why poland and why hungary are on their deuce constant torture let's put it this way well it's obvious we have the two strongest governments in the european union and the two countries there are a one party government has received. from the people to govern the country we have politically absolutely stable systems and you know many times it's not life by the to two it's in brussels definitely on the other hand you know there's a big debate in the european union but there are two to go through learned to reform the realistic way the further away stick way would end up in the united states or europe which we oppose our fiscal control. unified budget more integration that's what france and germany what you have i think it's a it's a viable you know. our position is that european union can only be strong if there are strong member states so we don't think that the concept of we can. states creating a strong european union would be realistic they think that on

trade union movement. that's why the ultraconservatives in our country want to undermine it. and as the leader said, they couldn't do it legislatively but taking it to the court. shame on this court for this decision especially on top of the citizens united decision. undermines our first amendment and undermines our democracy. so on some of these decisions that could be effective if they are casual about decisions that have already been made, roe v. wade, voting rights, women's rights, lgbt rights. jobs, health care, basic rights are under threat in this trump court. what's at stake? what's at stake is the character of america and the future of our children. that's why we are pleased that this is a raw deal for the american people. we have a better deal, better jobs, better future and part of that is the legislation that was referenced by the distinguished leader that is being introduced today that senator hirono referenced. that is part of our better deal. but we are going to fight this because this is ab

countries are members of the european union and the view will be members of the european union even more than that this century europe in the region is currently the growth of the european union our growth rate is much higher than the european the average everybody speaks about the german french cooperation when it comes to the issue of european competitiveness and bob if you look at the figures you see that the trade between germany and the countries is fifty five percent higher than the trade annually between germany and france which shows that the economy corporation between germany and sense or europe is extremely strong at central europe became kind of a backyard for the german industry which has all these been and which will always be i guess the bone of the european economy so actually the strong central europe is the interest of the. the european union because a strong central euro can contribute to european union being stronger as well that's why we we reject all kinds of these kinds of accusations you know against us on political basis that's the bottom line is the crisis right

union.you really saw going on here was a classic story of the incumbent that was threatened by new entry using political protection to try to hang on to its business. and london didn't like it. they liked Über and so what you have seen is Über making some confessions to get this license back, but also a bit of a back down for london mayor as well. >> that they would have kicked Über out of london they would have sent extraordinary sthal to other european cities love to do the same and it would send a message that london doesn't want to be a technology hub. they have to keep Über. >> that's exactly right. it was such a shock when london has been promoting itself i was part of those effort the when i worked in the government we called it tech city we were trying to promote london as a hub for -- for new startups and that was going really well so this move by london mayor was a real are set back and a really bad message in terms of london future economy. >> so you are married to a senior execut

i watched this on c-span. , a presidential order allowed union government unions to unionize.ot -- this guy did a good job going to the supreme court. one thing about government is, when you go to the negotiated no -- theyhere is don't go broke. they just raise taxes. if it is a business there has to be consideration on whether the company is going to go broke. the union thing is a moneymaking thing from the government. the unions benefit from it. employees benefit for now. host: ok. i'm going to go to frank. this week in washington. caller: good morning. i would like to ask a question about the new supreme court appointthat trump will sooner or later. when he was running for president he vowed to overturn roe v. wade. my question is this. how can you appoint somebody to -- iourt that already guess he is going to interview, already has a prejudice towards a case? isn't that supposed be determined by fax? it is like having a juror going in with a predetermined one way or another. host: those are the questions some democrats are going to ask this nominee. that folks are watching

what is the effect on unions?s, though, it's money and they will be receiving a lot less money. what's the effect of that? >> i think that's right. what it requires them to do is go out and sell a product. in order to get money from workers now they have to provide services. we think that's the role they should have. the fact is that they've had this legal privilege to compel people who want to work for their own government to pay them a fee for that privilege. those days are over. they'll have to sell product to independent-minded workers and workers in general who want them to speak for them and they'll have to collect that money by providing good service. that's what this is all about. >> bill: explain the victory for the non-union workers given a slash of their paycheck to the union. >> yeah, in 22 states roughly 5 million workers are compelled as condition of employment to pay a fee to work for government. those workers are freed from the burden. they can choose to support the union and send their money in th

sounds like a great addition to union square. we were just at the museum of ice cream the other week, and a tourist asked us where the nearest ice cream shop was and could only think of the ben and jerry's in the basement of the macy's. i'll mention it to the mayor today. he'll be so excited. what's the time frame in opening this location? union square is a major economic zone, and the addition of small businesses like yours helps to support its success. his e-mail echos the same sentiment we hear from others when we inform them of our proposed plan. when we became aware that there were some who were opposed to our plan, our strategy was not to push against them, but instead to listen to those specific concerns, address those specific concerns, and make the appropriate accommodation. we reached out in good faith to listen to all reasonable concerns and modified our plans accordingly. we are not a generic snack vendor. we deliberately orchestrated our vehicle to add value and enhance the neighborhood of union square in conjunction

we're here to protect the workers, union and non-union workers. we're going to do that. >> thank you. >> honorable supervisors, alex lanesburg. i want to be quick. there's a bunch of information and misinformation. it's on there. i'm sorry this isn't bigger. my computer died. there were numbers being thrown around about apprentices and diversity. i want to share facts. the blue line is ibw local 6. the orange line is sbc. another bad contractor. >> they cannot match the apprenticeship numbers of lb6. number one. when we take a look at graduation rates, again, we don't see these guys coming anywhere close to what we do. when we take a look at total enrollment over the past 16 years, over northern california, over the entire northern california -- >> it's okay if he can just finish this last slide. >> this is the last slide. local apprentices, blue line, light blue line, women. gold, abc. again, 40 times the number of apprentices done in these union programs. the abc is another bad contractor. >> thank you, mr. lanesburg. [applause] >> good morning,

i've been in the union for 35 years. all we are saying is we want all workers that do our type of work, whether union or not to receive the same health benefits, the same pension, same benefits that we all receive. i have been out in the field and a union rep. i have seen workers being told not to sign their sheets back to report only four hours back and do a lot of stuff that they don't get the wages they are supposed to get. by us being present and their being at pla, it would help guard against this. the last time, 30 of our 60 contractors were union members who decided to go into business for themselves and they have been highly successful. i don't understand the argument of them saying that they can't succeed if there is a p.l.a. our members that have started their own businesses are doing fine. i don't understand why that wouldn't be the case. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> my name is marcus. i live and work in san francisco and i work for architecture. i am for the p.l.a. because we want to equalize for all

that teachers will continue to be union members. >> we have hi union membership among the people we record -- we represent. people recognize the benefits and power to being a strong voice through a strong union. >> reporter: there is reason to be concerned. wisconsin pass a law in 2011 making union dues optional. public employee union dues plummeted to 19 percent in 2017. >> reporter: the unions have been given, for almost 50 years, the right to force all of us to pay them. >> reporter: a former teacher sued the california teachers association back in 2013. she demand that dues be optional. the suit went all the way to the supreme court but just disc scalia's death in 2016 and the case. >> i've been called a radical right-winger, the spawn of satan. teachers have been in this abusive relationship our 50 years. >> reporter: she feels vindicated by today's ruling. to i am ecstatic. for the first time in a long time, i have a lot of hope. >> reporter: we will show you what the state of california is doing to protect public employee unions in light of this ruling coming up at its:00. >>

union stability especially in the face of nationalist populism. i mean my answer that question is proactivity you know if we try to just maintain the status quo but to allow populists to promise the world even though they counter liveris to create fears on the back of you know genuine concerns around people security and terrorism and radicalization and so on if we allow that type of populism to take hold well then managing a politically is going to be very very difficult in the future for the european union so this is the time for the center to stand up in terms of politics to build narratives and visions that can excite people in terms of what the european union could together as a collective can do as a power. the force not only for our improving quality of life across the european union but also to impact positively in other parts of the world that are going to impact on europe in the future if we don't become more proactive that is why in my view the european union establishment the institutions of the european union need to be talking in much

union instead of the employer. and employee orientation must be completely private so other groups cannot address public employees during that orientation. those changes to take effect immediately because governor brown signed the state budget today, something he didn't need to do until july 2. between the federal decision and all of these new state laws, trying to counteract it, there's a lot of scrambling to do for unions. melissa k kpix 5. >>> we continue our team coverage from san francisco city hall with a closer look this is having on state and local politics. >> reporter: there is a reason that the governor signed those bills, trying to tighten up for those opting out. one of them is the unions are one of the biggest power sources in the state. a lot of that goes to democrat up in sacramento and here at city halls across the bay area. let's take a look. whether it is teachers for gavin newsom for governor or firefighters helping candidates for state treasurer, public employee unions are some of the biggest p

a discussion of union spy a lisbeth van loo. you are watching american history tv on c-span3. >> good afternoon, everyone. imp carmichael, a member of the history department here at gettysburg college. i am the director of the civil war institute. it's like better this afternoon to introduce elizabeth bayern, who is the associate director of the center for civil war history and also a professor of american attory and of course, all the university of virginia. thankfully, she is not a hockey bob -- at least i don't believe she is. said go cats what has happened to the american sports scene? i don't know. i would not think that at a conference people would be ja .ing about hockey she has published a number of books. we need to be confident: white women and politics in antebellum virginia." one of my favorite processs of the published by the university of north girl oppressed, and "appomattox: the tree defeat, and freedom at the end of the ," published by oxford. it is an outstanding book. it's a way to look beyond appomattox, look

i'm not opposed to unions. i don't object too unions. i think that you know leadership this country particularly big labor has lost its way. i didn't say unions are union members all supported the policies. i said they voted for president trump private sector union members, a majority of them voted for president trump but i soon they were voting for and because they support his policies because union leadership with any other direction. republicans including myself are critical of president obama's policies. i never criticize president obama himself but it always was very critical of his economic policies, not because i i wantd those policies to fail but because i was concerned that they wouldn't succeed. the difference is people are attacking president trump on a personal basis, not on the basis of his policies but on a personal basis which we didn't do it present obama, at least i didn't.n' they were attacking not in the hope his economic policies will succeed. we are seeing great success buts he's being tapped fored this pot is in way

it just means that 51% or more of workers in a union, for a union everybody is covered by the union and by the contract. ok. that is now susceptible to attack under the first amendment. another problem -- >> is that true both in the public and private context? or is still just in the public? >> ok, great. another problem is janus applies to the public sector because it's a constitutional holding. i think there will be an effort to export janus to the private sector. that will happen through tissue in congress but it will also happen in the courts. and you might think that's crazy because we have something calls the state action requirement, and there's no state action when a private sector union and a private sector employer decide to negotiate a collective bargaining agreement. i'm more worried about the prospect for erosion of the state action doctrine exclusively in the union context with a fifth justice who replaces justice kennedy. so we may see a constitutional attack on exclusive representation and exporting of both the agency fee and the exclusive representation rule from the pu

the pac was devised by the unions as a way to get around restrictions on union contributions to political candidates. and, in fact, for years while unions used it in the 1930s and '40s and '50s, corporations stayed on the sidelines because they weren't sure about the legality of it. in the 1970s, unions convinced congress to put it into law and make it crystal clear. they did that, and the next thing you know within ten years corporation had three times the number of pacs as labor unions. and it's an example of how we often find in my story that often progressive reforms that were designed to meet the ends of laborers or dissenters or outcasts have been exploited by corporations to protect their own interests and rights. corporations are very good at leveraging progressive reform to serve the ends of capital. >> host: are corporations and unions treated same in law when it comes to some of these issues? are unions people too, in a sense? >> guest: yes. many of these things are -- many of the legal rules also pertain to unions and, indeed, some of the important union cases lead to where th

we represent a union and nunion. as it is right now, we have a difficult time for the union contractors to win contracts in san francisco. having this type of p.l.a. will be difficult for the smaller nonunion members to partition -- participate and grow their business in the city of san francisco. there are a few things we would like to exempt the l.b.e. participation from ple ordinance. the threshold should be under 20 million. we will local hire an p.l.a. that is equity focused and we want higher court employees. >> my name is aaron. i work for a paving company. i am also the merchant association president. my family has been in san francisco since 1984. and we are very happy to be part of the l.b.e. program. we are a prounion contractor and we think this p.l.a. is written and it definitely means -- needs a lot more in its. i would like to talk at length with anyone about that. i hope to talk to you soon but i am opposed to the p.l.a. as it is currently written. >> thank you. >> good afternoon supervisors. my name

and the soviet union. both of grind in the utopian idea. european union as a customs union yes. all europeans and all the people around the world are eager to do business but part of that we can see a huge disparity between the general populace labor. general workers and elites businesses elites and this is going breaking down and resonates with the populistic parties because we can see that some people in our society damage already the real majority is left behind. this is the main problem is that the political elites around the european union. live in the utopia and they are out of touch with the realities of the. common people so they are representing the big businesses the markets investors songs of fall which are crucial to well being of the nation states but of the same time those very corporate and cities what is their value without the common man. this philosophy doesn't hold the water and i think of this is the main problem if the political elites around the. grass the reality. find themselves in a very nasty situation. pushing us to do. the drastic things very well sai
