possible things that could happen would be for a driver to be out on the road and not have provided workman's compensation to his driver. if that's a fact, and we were asking if that's a fact, if that's considered to be one of the worst possible things, we've certainly seen worse things than that. we've seen cabs drivers who have abandoned an -- a drunk or an ealedly drunk fare at 3:00 in the morning in the middle of nowhere. to me that's worse. we've had cases of a cab driver having hit on a teenage girl. that's certainly worse to me. but if this is the worst, then there should be ample evidence that it has been treated as the worst and the death penalty was imposed. so we ask, bring forth those cases. let us see how s.f.m.t.a. now or taxi commission previously felt about this. indicate to us how grieveous this is. and what do we get? we get statements made bit appellant that in the past, and granted one of the people representing the appellant was one of the people who might have had something to do with the imposition of those fines, and/or penalties, but all we get back is that other larg

injured on capitol hill, as i understand it, there is certainly a way that you address the injury, get workman'somp, etc. but i mean as far as you know, letting other people know about your injury, getting a record kept of that, being informed that the office of compliance exists, where you can go and potentially address an issue like this, that's what employees are not getting, and that's a pretty good big knowledge base they're missing out on. host: erika lovely with the "politico." thank you for being our guest on the wurem. about an hour left on the "washington journal." up next we talk with the assistant seven health and husme services, dr. howard koh, we'll talk about the national hiv/aids strategy. >> they're the towering figures and they're all different. they have their different talents, they have their different dangers. >> this weekend robert service on his trilogy of books on arena leaders, lenin, stalin and most recently, leon trotsky. learn about their roles in developing their form of communism. on c-span's "q & a." host: dr. howard koh is on your screen, he is the assistant secr
