the laborers but for the union. by approving this project, it is going to help our members, community, and also the population. we need a hospital. for us as the laborers, it is a total package. it is not only going to produce work, manpower, it is a center because it provides service for about 60% to 70% of our members. i am going to leave you with this. and i believe there is something. there is a solution for every problem. i encourage you to find a solution. thank you. supervisor mar: thank you, mr. florence. next speaker. >> good evening, everyone. my name is ignacio, and i work with local 261, san francisco. with more than 3000 members, , -- workers, men and women, who are waiting for this project to be approved, we encourage the whole board to approve this project, and local 251 is in full support of this project. thank you. supervisor mar: thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is joseph. i am a lifelong resident of san francisco. i grew up in the valley. i am here today to show my support for cpmc and the rebuilding project. they happen talking about specific points of the development agreement, but there has also been

use of blacks, why don't we? we lost this battle. for the first year of the war the union is desperate for a victory. now, the confederacy legally allowed slaves to be used as laborers to build roads, forts, trenches, fortifications. but it's only the last week of the war, beginning march of '65 where the confederacy legally offered, allowed blacks, allowed slaves to serve as soldiers as a last-ditch attempt to help preserve the confederacy, and virtually no blacks did at that point. what do you make of johnson's account? you also read in your packet an essay by frederick douglass who also describes black confederates. i should say that my interest in black confederacy merged out of frederick douglass. i've given one talk on it, and i felt like wearing a bull's eye because it's so combustible, especially, you know -- seriously. i don't know. i mean there are very few liberal whites who acknowledge any black fought for the confederacy. here's douglass. it's now pretty well established there are at the present moment many colored men in the confederate army doing duty. not only as laborers but as real soldiers. muskets on their shoulders, bullets in their pockets read

as a profession. aside from the excuse -- excuse wasteetrated the department of labor, there is been using the guys of green jobs to justify ongoing funding of the president's green agenda. however, the standard they have invented includes counting as a green job, in addition to the welder, college professors are now green. environmental reporters are now green. policy experts at any think tank can be green. in fact, lobbyists can be green. now, i've been in washington nearly 12 years. there's a lot of green with lobbyists, none of it should are counted as environmentally green jobs. there are 33 -- 33 times as many so-called green jobs in the septic tank -- you can't make these things up, guys. septic tank and portable toilet servicing industry as there are in solar energy and utility areas. more than 160,000 of these green jobs are related to school bus drivers. uses thick tahese numbers is nothing short of embarrassing and a betrayeral of the standards that president obama established for his administration. transparency begins with honesty. you cannot send out false propaganda and then say you're

the supervisors who supported our campaigns. i hope you will continue to support us as well as increase resources to the office of labor standards enforcement four races this to investigate and enforce the law. i also know that the supervisors have to make a lot of decisions about what to fund, so i want to also have to support progressive revenue measures for the city. thank you very much. good morning, everyone. i am a sro peer family organization -- organizer. i first want to thank all of supervisors for supporting our campaign. i hope that today it i can earn your continued support bee. we hope to have more resources to help continue to enforce labor laws. if we do more publicity and outreach education, it will allow more employers to know they have to follow the law and for workers to understand what their rights are. in my work with the sro families, over half of them are not being paid minimum wage. many are working 12 hours or longer and are getting paid $1,400 a month. some families out of desperation just to earn a few hundred dollars more a month, they leave to go to another state. one person leaves to go work in anot

, the advantage of the lockup as it's currently run at the department of labor and at commerce, agriculture, and agencies disseminating statistics around the world is that it allows us to publish information with as much context and supporting data and as many superlatives as we can. what we publish at 8:30 sharp goes beyond one headline and one number. we endeavor to tell the story, both behind the number, on top of it and underneath it. >> and i would add that one important part that we didn't talk about in the april 10th order that labor put out though we are in talks about changing this, is that there was no internet access at all. even in the half hour that leads up to these -- leads up to the lockup starting. that's important because it allows our journalists to do a variety of things, one of those is to see what's happening around the world, and add that context in even if it's breaking at the last minute. with everything happening in the eurozone, it can provide context to the stories. >> thank you. recognize the ranking member for his questions. >> let me -- mr. hall, good to see you. i want to make sure we're clear. sometimes i don't want the wrong -- inac

the sudden green after hundreds of years of being around as a profession. aside from the excuse ways that perpetrate the department of labor, they have been using the guise of green jobs to justify ongoing funding of the presidency green agenda. however, the standard they had invented and includes counting as agreeing job institutions of welder, college professors are now green. environmental reporters are now green. policy experts in anything thank can be green. in fact, lobbyists can be green. now, i've been in washington for nearly 12 years. there's a lot of green with lobbyist. none of it should be counted as an environmentally green job. there are 33, there are 33 times as many so-called green jobs in the septic tank -- you can't make these things up -- septic tank and portable toilets service industry as a the are in solar energy and utility areas to more than 160,000 of these green jobs are related to school bus drivers. using these tactics to manipulate the number to mislead the american people is nothing short of embarrassing and if the trail of the standards that president obama established for his administration. transparency begins with honesty.

employment and training, the vets office at the department of labor, and the office of federal contract compliance programs, which is known as ofccp. i will try not to use acronyms. it is a hazard of this job. the office of federal contract compliance programs. yet in conversations with the department of labor, the subcommittee learned that the vets agency at labor collects this information, but never reviews it for any purpose. and the office of federal contract compliance has the authority to audit contractor compliance, but in fact conducts very few and never attempts quality assurance reviews. this doesn't make any sense to me. it's almost like we're going through the motions and don't care what the result. it is called make work that have no results. i called this hearing today to bring together two groups who are actually taking steps, active steps to promote contractor employment of veterans. we're here today to learn from some of the nation's leading veteran services organizations about the challenges facing veterans. we will also hear from two large and well-known businesses about the excellent work they're doing in recruiting and hiring vetera

the department of labor is also considering prohibiting youth soccer referees, right? i used to be a referee when i played soccer. i refed for a while as an adult. the department of labor is considering prohibiting these kids from earning the $10 a game from refereeing these soccer -- little soccer games that happen on the weekends and after school all over this country. for some of us, that's establishing apparently the rules of the road. for others of us, that goes way beyond and is unnecessary. i don't know any other country on the face of the earth that is so or more masochistic than we are when it comes to sucking or carving something out of the ground like coal or oil and considering it wealth. every other country understands this and exploits it. and the best sense that have word to its benefit. sxep for a group of people here in america who can't understand that. that's beyond the rules of the road. what also is beyond the rules of the road that we as american people are getting told what light bulbs to use, how much water can be in our toilet. that a farmer not only has to get a permit to use pesticides on his crops but that i

the misperception. large companies benefit us as much the others. the point that germany pays and the others don't. the issue that unit labor costs, the last three years or three years have shown that they converted. don't you think that clearly the perception is related to the elections to the democratic pors, but in the end agreed that leaders realized of the nature of the gain and in the end, actually act and find the solutions that are proper. >> do you want to finish with that and then we'll go to -- >> okay, very quickly on that. no, i would love to share that. i don't think there's any doubt that doing this game as an in state description, it's a plus something. when i talk about a noncooperative gain, that again is a gain theoretical idea that you have to have this game of chicken for it unfolds. so that's more of a process element. and i also agree with what you said that these diverging neighbor costs and unit labor costs, that was referred to earlier, well, they are rapidly converging and we should also be careful not to have too much of a unit labor cost fetish because they do not actually represent actual expor

the president tells us he's doing a great job. >> reporter: romney's stop in missouri comes as the labor department said the weekly jobless claims dropped slightly last week to a seasonably adjusted 377,000. >> last week's job numbers are more evidence that president obama's economic policies are standing in the way of real economic growth. >> reporter: economists say when claims dropped below 375,000, hiring is usually strong enough to drop the overall unemployment rate. >> democrats have a simple request, simple request to our republican colleagues. don't run out the clock on the economy. >> reporter: the house is scheduled to be in recess next week. there are now 151 days until the november general election. in washington, craig bosswell, fox news. >>> lawmakers who oversee the intelligence agencies in both houses are calling into an investigation into leaks that they say endanger the nation. the chairman of the house republican committee, mike rogers of michigan, claims the obama administration led a reporter into a classified briefing. rogers is going beyond senator mccain's charge that the white house is leaking intelligen

the staff report and highlight that as part of the notification process. >> that would be good. commissioner low: there are also to safety valves on the dollar- size limitation and using existing labor resources. if you could just clarify that. >> most of our capital projects, we checked with our structural maintenance yard to see whether or not they could handle that work. in some instances, they do not have the staff to execute so we checked with them first. once they denied the project, for whatever reason, that is one we move forward for the process. the limit is a threshold by which we have to fall under. >> if it goes over $400,000, it goes back to the general manager? >> yes. you have to have a notification on what you have exceeded $400,000. you have to have justification for that. >> are strung from maintenance yard is fundamentally worked on and they are an amazing group. but we are under-resource, some of the day-to-day maintenance requirements for the park's construction on the other side. we had a number of conversations about where our yard has the capacity to do it. sometimes, we do not have the right traits or the right bodies. commissioner bonilla: i wanted to comme

the years of being around as a profession. aside from the excuse and waste that perpetrated the department of labor, they have used the guise of green jobs to justify the ongoing funding of the president's green agenda. they are counting as a green job, in addition to welder, college professors are not green. environmental reporters are now green. college professors in a think tank are now grain. lobbyists can be green. i have been in washington for 12 years. there are -- there is a lot of grain around lobbyists. -- green or brown lobbyists. septic tank and portable toilet industries have as many green jobs as in solar utility areas. what it is 60,000 of these green jobs are related to school bus drivers. using these tactics to manipulate the numbers to manipulate the american people is a betrayal of the standards president obama established for his administration. transparency begins with honesty. you cannot send out false propaganda and say you are transparent. the truth is essential. it is on filtered if you are to be transparent. we appreciate this administration has an opinion and this chairman has an opinion that is some

host: we saw the demonstrations in madison, wisconsin. organized labor used this as a way for them to organize across the state and that led to the recall we are seeing on tuesday. guest: this shows you the conflict in wisconsin. what is occurring in that state is neighbor vs. neighbor and employee purchase employee and sometimes friend vs friend. you probably see the most polarized electorate and well foreshadow november. you look at where the caller is talking about where you have union folks who say we are angry with scott walker and what he did. on the flip side, you end up seeing their frustration on the fact that this was something that walker did not campaign on in his gubernatorial election. this took democrats by surprise raid when you talk to some republicans and observers of what played out, scott walker problem could have gotten about 95% of what he wanted if he had a card of collective bargaining. democrats with a bent over backwards but he decided to go for the one under% and that shows where we are now with the recall. there is so much divisiveness hos
