there's now this group called the united workers congress. and these are ten different very low income employee sectors; they're farm workers; they're nannies; they're taxicab drivers; they're day laborers; and they're adjunct professors. >> adjunct professors? >> professors. >> that's an unusual participant in a coalition like that. >> they're paid a poverty wage, no health benefits, no security, job security you know, just like fast-food workers, in fact. >> what does that suggest to you? >> it suggests that people are beginning to get together and see their common interests. so here are some of the, here are the highest educated poverty workers in america with the lowest educated poverty workers and seeing that they're in the same boat now. and that realization is a powerful political potential. i'll give you another example. we had a world protest against mcdonald's. there were 30 countries involved in it. that takes organization. again, it's not high visibility yet, but neither was civil rights until it popped up. to me, these things hav

[ laughter ] we try to show politicians as little respect at this event as we possibly can. and the goal generally for a politician is to simply make it through the event. i've never seen a politician win an election because of what they said or did at fancy farm but i think i've seen them lose them. so the idea is to

one day the workers of the world unite. true today, the other workers don't want to talk to us but some day they will and we'll all unite. a group says, you know what? the workers don't want to unite with us. they don't have the same idea of us being part of humanity the way they do, let alone does a christian flan fall lan throw pis worry. let's take a look then at the answer. >> in the answer, the jewish machinist is advised to appeal to the united hebrew trades and ask them to intercede for him and bring up charges before the machinists union about this persecution. his attention is also drawn to the fact that there are gentile factories where jews and gentiles work together and get along well with each other. finally, it is noted that people will have to work long and

. >> the other answer here is workers saying workers the world unite and the others saying you're not jewish. we're not hanging out with you. ed they are workers. that haven't been able to convince others of that. all men are created equal. we don't know what women. in 1922 there were only 85,000 people who were in the different branches of the ring. >> yeah. >> so why does it feel like that's a low number for the amount of people coming over? >> well that's a particularly jewish organization. it's maybe a their of those immigrants are krus. we can see that will address some imimmigrants but not others. any other questions before we get onto that. here you have mostly jewish women attacking mostly jewish male butchers but also policemen when they try to break it up because they believe the price of meat is too high that organized crime has set the price of meat very high. you will see that morality in the kosher meat industry not just in pricing but the way animals are treated is still very much there. in this case you see protesting is a means for expressing their problem with social

he encountered an aggressive united mind worker campaign to organize the coal men. here is something of what she found in west virginia: after a romantic landscape, deep wooded valleys, hills, twilight till mid morning. the days drew in early and the sun dropped behind the western ridges. the state capital had shops and violence, repiesal and vigilante justice. the roads are beautiful but i am starting to hate them. they went about the business of living in scarcity and brutality she had never seen. child slavery flourished. they were astonished with the docile attitude most americans accepted the great depression. the radicals were outraged. there were lots of strikes, serious unrest in the country side, but very little of what might be called organized revolutionary agitation. much of the violence was spontaneous. as malcolm observed there were no riots unless the police started them. perhaps the most serious challenge happened in the country. for one example, an operation bombed and shoted and hijacked. nelson covered with for the nee republic. according to wilso

workers. they received -- they had, series builds. they received weeks of vacation leave every year and a free steamship ticket home to the united states. the silver workers on the other hand lived in shacks, were fed and cafeterias out of big troughs. one guy who procured the food for the workers said we feed the silver workers just like i feed my hogs in omaha. we feed them out of the big troughs. it had no seating and they would have to sit under a porch in the rain. so those radically different conditions than you saw evidence of the segregation system throughout the song. the u.s. built large commissaries, shops where crews could buy what they needed and very reminiscent of jim crow in the u.s. where big signs on the two entrances, gold versus silver. so in that way that sense of segregation and really a caste privilege dominated the canal zone. >> host: how many workers died building the canal? >> guest: well you know the statistics on that are tough to come up with. i think during the u.s. period the statistics are about 2000 workers. historians though who have studied the subject believe that the mortality rate is quite a bit h
