and it is an issue for us as union representatives to hear the complaints from our members that they have nowhere to go. we have had media coverage on this, we have spoken on it several times and we are trying to get some movement because it is an emergency situation for our people. and we just don't want our members, or the employees of san francisco, or this railway, to be continued to be treated as second or third class citizens without the ability to have clean, functioning facilitis that they can use while they serve the city and county of san francisco. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please? >> good afternoon, board, members. chairman, eric williams, president for the transport workers union. >> about two years, the media, put it in the papers, about the rest room issue, for the operators. and they were made it was made a joke even by some members of the board. this is not a joke. we sit here representing our members with the particular issues surrounding your district. at the end of the day when there is no service on the streets, part of that reason is because operators parti

used in a civil conflict so that's cool so fact that the syrian government. has ever since its cooperation with the soviet union with the. cooperation while there is a sin. fact but we asussia as the russian federation have not provided anything to syria that could be used as a defensive war and what we have provided are defensive weapons and. defensive systems there is also a well known fact we we have discussed it on numerous occasions and we don't see how it can be used within the context of a civil war we are not supplying the opposition with any weapons. to the country for international stakeholders and actually those arms are becoming ever more lethal because we don't have. one hundred of our special operations. around syria. i guess you could say some of the parties are directly involved in syria but that's not the russian federation thank you so so much. just. one last comment. there and. it will be. the conflict has been going on in syria. it is really indispensable that this conflict is finished in two thousand and thirteen and hopefully at the beginning of two thousand and thirteen at the end of two thousand and thirteen. again i think that. everybody recogn

union bosses? that's the consensus of the new congressional report. joining us now is house oversight chairman, republican darrell issa of california. chairman issa, aselcome, sir. the headline story here is that the nlrb is bias in favor of unions and their bosses. that's not a shocking headline. but i just wanted to hear some of your key points. what's your most important point in your investigation? >> i think one of the most important discoveries was that there were inappropriate rule violations, what they call ex parte discussions that went on where you actually have the political appointees and the consul who's prosecuting the case against boeing essentially having outside the public eye and ear communication. you also have e-mails that make it very clear that consuls, if you will, in some cases, non-political appointees, plus political appointees, are very biased in their view of what should happen, rooting for the labor and rooting against boeing. this discovery is what we think is a good example of what happens when you make recess appointments that do not go through confirmation, that are not, in fact, up to the task of heading an independe

as anti-union. i view this as proworker. that's orwellian. >> eliot: congressman it is the tack of the far right to use orwellian language and to flip-flop in the way they describe the law. this is not a right-to-work law. this is a right to free load, explain. this is important. they're creating the right of those who don't want to pay anything to free load off the worker of a union -- the work of a union but ultimately, they'll destroy the power of the union and it will be eviscerated. explain the notion of free loading. >> look, if people can free load and not pay their fair share there will be less of a resource for the union to represent people. therefore, the role of the union will shrivel. the role of the representative of the people. so we'll go back to the time when there was no voice in the workplace. that's what this is all about. i also want to read what someone else said this regard. he says i see this as tough love. the unions will not be busted. the purpose of this is to bust unions. to bust the voice of people. and i want to make this clear. this isn't about unionization. in and of itself. because there's bee

point in the history of this union has there been more discord of rancor that we've currently got among more moderate voices there are concerns the peace prize is being used as a political football i think this award basically does a lot to kind of discredit past people who've won this prize. i mean it demonstrates a sort of heavy politicization of the use of this award now it's been suggested that this year's winner of the peace prize picked it up more for not having done something as opposed to having food the peace around the globe it seems like they got the prize more because there hasn't been any war in europe for many decades rather than having done anything specific i think as long as civic institutions like the nobel prize continue to lose their legitimacy in their spirit through political favoritism and these prizes are always political but such blatant and obvious political favoritism and maneuvering i think it actually takes something away and i think it's actually damaging that leaves the whole institution of the prize facing the question whether the nobility is being drained from the nobel peace r.t. . if you minutes we speak with the u.k. minis
