. >> colleagues i just wanted to thank all of the speakers from the community, workers to the various union members and leaders to the non-profit directors and managers who are here. i wanted to say the suggestions to convene a working group to deal with the complexity of a permanent structural fix i am committed to convene that type of group with non-profits and labor and city departments as well and really looking at creating permanent fix that assures funding and stability to create a safety net that we can be proud of, a healthy and thriving safety net that has human beings and our community at the center of it. i also wanted to say too the shorter term issue that many brought up as we go through the budget process that we're starting with our major hearings today i am also really in agreement with many that we need for the next two years an increase, strong and reasonable increase within our budget and my hope is that the increase isn't contingent of a creation of a longer term solution with this working group but that we need the increase now over the next two years and i think it's r

been trying to negotiate with various unions to deal with pensions. the new jersey education association got up from the table and said "never mind" right as the courts are about to take up. does he have to fully fund the pensions, which he doesn't really have the money to do? what happens here for governor christie? >> well, you know, he's dealing with a democratic state, essentially. he's a republican governor in a democratic state. and that makes it very difficult for him to get his initiatives through, particularly when he's been weakened by bridgegate and other things that hurt his poll ratings. and he's dropping precipitously in the polls in new jersey. so i think he's gonna have no choice but to fund the pensions because it's required by law. >> but you guys are lawyers. we see cases where people are told, "you get these damages," but then the person you're getting it from has no money. you'll get nothing from them. what happens here if, at the end of the day, he doesn't have the money to fund those pensions? >> yeah, you know, i have not been

the rally started about an hour ago and in that time we watched hundreds of people pour in from various unions and labor activists here. i'll show you the scene behind me as they are rallying on the uc berkeley campus and as you mentioned the fight for 15 is an effort to get the minimum wage increase and typically when we talk about minimum wage stories we're talking restaurant workers, but this fight for 15 also includes child care workers, cashiers and many more low-wage workers. the other component of their fight is unionizing and i'm joined by one of the organizers, mary kay with sciu. what kind of difference would unionizing make for the folks behind me. >> workers need a seat at the table with multinational corporations like mcdonald's and walmart in order to make sure they have schedules and hours when they raise their wages and a good job is if they can negotiate over skedchedules and get pay for sick time and they can fight for retirement and health care for everyone in this country and that's why we're so proud to get the union. >> thank you, mary kay. it's a complicated component. i

there is still serious agreement between greece and the european union and grease's various creditors. until those are resolved, greece will not get its hands on $7 billion worth of money it is excited to under the existing old bailout agreement. >> has the climate really changed at this point between greece and its creditors because we were led to believe at least alexis tsipras promised the greek people things would be different this time around, but it does seem as if there is much more difficult times ahead for people there. >> there's now a lot of distrust between greece and its creditors. a lot of mutual suspicion. certainly irritation over mr. tsipras's trip to moscow and the fact that while he was there, he repeated the greek government position that it disagrees with the european union sanctions against russia over its alleged interference in eastern ukraine. then the house being this acrimonious row between greece and germany over the question of germany repaying reparations to greece because of the nazi occupation during the second world war. those sorts of disagreements ar

african-americans, bobos -- both those in the army and civilians, the union victory had a providential cast. we can observe that all the various contending sides of the civil war, the union and confederate each believe that god blessed their cause and they were fighting a godly war. maybe we can compare and contrast the implications of providence on the part of say whites in the union army confederates and then african-americans. what is that providential view look like? prof. brundage: for white southerners, 1865 was a bitter pill to take. i have been telling themselves that it was a slave holders republican a providential mission. white southerners pivoted, particularly of certain denominations, episcopalians and presbyterians went all in on this great they pivoted and concluded that somehow they were god's chosen people. and god was chastening them, was punishing them for their hubris. their punishment still meant that he loved them beyond all others.
