that is, by ending forced unionization and -- workers are not forced to join unions, and unions aren't forced to represent workers who do not join them. policymakers should help expand lower costs and more effective education alternatives by reducing higher education subsidies and allowing things like industry recognized the pronation -- lawmakers goals should be to allow more people to gain the skills they need to work in the jobs they want, to choose the employment arrangements that work best for them and earn rising incomes that allow them to pay for what they want and pursue what they desire. thank you. sen. sanders: our last panelist, we will be hearing from virtually. that is mr. glenn spencer, the senior vice president of the employment policy division at the u.s. chamber of commerce. he oversees the chambers work on traditional labor relations, wage hour and worker safety issues, and state labor and employment law, among other issues. thanks for being with us. >> appreciate the opportunity to speak today. u.s. chamber of commerce directly represents 300,000 businesses and repre

they calculate union jobs without even knowing how a union operates. they pretty much spread union rumors and lies about the union members trying to claim that this independent work led union that all amazon workers are some third-party. they lied and said that, you know, the union dues, the money is going to go towards my financial gain. pretty much they demonized myself as the union representative saying that i have a vendetta because i was fired two years ago wrongfully. are the things that they do, they've used police to intimidate the workers. i was a presence of, a large presidents in bessemer. i remember when i went down there for the first campaign, they had at least, at every entrance. something in staten island. the used the police at all our demonstrations. myself and two other organizers were arrested. not once, but twice, and we are still sitting here as we speak on papers, because of that. >> senator carroll i'm, going to take an extra two minutes and i'll give you an equal amount of time. let me ask president o'brien, to non union compan

you had to be in a union. when ijoined, a fellow came up to me and said, "you're the apprentice electrician." the other five or six, whatever they were, were mechanical fitters. you had tojoin the union. we made printing presses and we had a printing establishment, we had all the print unions, and when we went to install presses, they would be closed shop printing houses. so if i went to fleet street to put some machinery in, your card would be inspected. and i would expect it to be inspected, i wanted it to be inspected, because i didn't want a non—union person coming into that setup. all of that was made impossible by margaret thatcher. the laws were changed to do away with the closed shop, the obligation to be the member of a union. are you nostalgic for the pre—thatcher days? i'm nostalgic for the power that we had, and what i more that we had, and more nostalgic for the control and the values that we had. people talk about the winter of discontent and the excesses of the trade union movement as it's s

unions and unions are not forced to represent workers who don't join them. finally policymakers should help expand lower cost and more effective educational alternatives by reducing higher education subsidies and allowing things like industry to recognize apprenticeship programs that have proven effective at helping workers. the future of work requires an agile and expanding workforce, not a one-size-fits-all model. at the lawmakers goal should be to allow more people to gain the skills they need to work in the jobs they want, to choose the employment arrangements that work best for them and to earn rising income to allow them to pay for what they want and pursue what they desire. thank you. >> thank you. our last panelist we will be hearing from virtually is mr. glenn spencer the senior vice president of the policy division of the u.s. chamber of commerce. in this role he oversees the work of the labor relations and safety issues and state labor and employment. thank you very much for being with us. >> mr. chair man sanders, ranking member and members of th

she said that the soviet union was formed in 1922, the joining together of the union republics. voluntarily. at least this is how it was framed in the constitution. but the right to secede from the union had never been tried in practice. and certainly not a withdrawal of all its members. but in 1991. that is what happened? the country dissolved into its constituent parts. the west looked on amazed at the rapid disintegration and 25000000 russians were left in shock. they suddenly found themselves inhabitants of other countries, compounded by the uncertainty of whether they would be accepted, barris, citizens, opium, now to keep the homes and land. mm. let us laugh. baylof is the director at the center of german studies. he is no political ally, a flat map who's in that he agrees with the president's claim that the fall of the soviet union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century. ready mores the celestial sir. yes, but one can agree with his statement, which is by geo politics. you primarily mean the interests of certain people and i'm alone. and if we consider the fate

unions. the strike was a jurisdictional strike. it was called over whether some 350 people in the whole picture industry should be members of a stagehands union or members of the trade unions. we had that mix. back from the days of a great strike on broadway, in the theater days. there had been a tradition in the picture business to reconcile the differences between stagehands. what had happened in the theaters, in the old days, was that a stage handed everything in the theater. not just backstage with the stage. so, if a c needed fixing out front, he came out like a carpenter in fixed the seat. this had led to the jurisdictional strike on broadway. and the settlement finally was that everything behind the press any a march belong to the stagehands, everything in front of it belong to the craft unions, but plumbers and crafters and carpenters and so forth. in hollywood, they made the press any a march the sound staged or. anything in there was stagehands, but every studio had mills where they

employees would vote to unionize. the 1st one here in new york was just a month ago, and that was a facility or is a facility with over 8000 employees. and they voted in the affirmative a month ago to vote to unionize. many people were saying that it was the most significant unionization effort in a generation because it was young people that spearheaded that effort. and it was the, the 1st amazon warehouse to formally vote to unionize here in the state of new york . and it was a huge facility. and so that why is why that was so critical, this now being the 2nd where, how employees of a 2nd warehouse now voting, we should get those results very soon. here outside here at this facility outside this office here in new york. and, and gabriel, there appears to be real trained in the us to work is to unionize. what's behind that? yeah, there is, there has unionization efforts really began in earnest or really were at their peak in the 1900 thirty's and forty's in the united states. and then unions have lost a lot of influe

warehouse in new york voted not to unionize. certainly the mood was somber as many of the union leaders left this federal building behind me where the vote tally was counted. this is what a few of the amazon labor union leaders had to say. this is a very small battle in a very large war. so if jeff bader thinks he has won, he has not. if jeff bader thinks that we're not going to come back to l d j 5, and when it later i was disappointed, we're all disappointed about by the outcome. and l g j 5. but we're still optimistic about the moving going forward. this is all part of a broader unionization effort in the united states that we've seen in recent months and years. it's not only workers at amazon, but we've seen workers that as well at places like starbucks and apple stores as well, starting to unionize, or at least discussing the possibility of unionizing. now this was certainly a big defeat here for this amazon union efforts, but it comes a month after a big victory where workers at another amazon warehouse voted to unionize.

we have huge responsibility for the unity of the european union. and more than this on like almost never before our co operation with the strong economies of the g. 7. torque has rarely been as efficient as it has been under our presidency in germany, which is why i look with great confidence at our summit at the end of june, so forth. and rarely before has the trans atlantic alliance been so close, so vital and so essential as it yesterday. president biden has done much to achieve this. i am extremely grateful in what we all share. one goal, russia must not win this war. ukraine must prevail. gordon gibbon, gibbon. that is what it's about in everything we do on duty also in our sanctions against russia or in the old taking in 1000000 refugees in european union in terms of supporting on job the ukraine in many different ways. humanitarian financial and yes, in the delivery of heavy weapons as well. and i know that this is contentious in our country. are you to in your constituencies will experience struggle with these discussions. there are concern

can no decisions be made in the european union? if this won't go and there are many member states who think, yes, it is possible without even opening the treaties to find a solution to decide with the qualified majority within the you, they will have to go this way very quickly. otherwise they will just be stuck in those rooms for ever. there is a certain irony, of course about said that the idea of improving democracy by removing the rights of some states by removing the need for a, for a complete unity on a particular issue. let us go back to strasbourg and hear from emanuel macro in the next 2 or 3 minutes. but before that, a barbara, let's talk about some of the other things that but jumped out at you from ocean on the line speech. basically what the message she was giving apart from all the praise, of course, for the citizens panels and the the work they have done. she has to do this. of course, she has to sort of give them the feeling that they are included in future decision processes. she wants to make this a moralist, perm

[applause] that's a -- it's a fact. that's a fact. with your help, we're seeing the strongest job creation in modern times. we inherited an economy on the brink of a great depression -- millions of people losing their jobs, losing their homes, but even more importantly, losing hope. but look at the economy today -- 8.3 million jobs in my first 15 months in office -- a record. [applause] the unemployment rate now stands at 3.6%, the fastest decline -- the fastest decline in unemployment at the start of any president's term on record. jobs and companies are coming home again. we're making “buy america” a reality, not just a slogan. [applause] look, folks, our economy has gone from being on the mend to being on the move. you know, it started with my american rescue plan. because of it, we had the best year of state and local job growth in 20 years. we gave governors -- great governors like the one in this state -- we gave them a whole lot of money. we added back 460,000 jobs -- criti

of all union armies. here you go, grant, here are the keys. take it away! go win the war for us. i do not think there was anything that grant could have done to manage expectations after all that. the expectations where that grant was going to come to virginia, he was going to win, quickly, cheaply, and easily. within a matter of weeks grant would of course when the war, certainly by the end of the summer! grant will have won the war. the union will be victorious, everything will be fine. of course that was radically unrealistic. the generals that grant had to feed it in mississippi at chattanooga, they were good generals. john pemberton in mississippi, bratton brag in chattanooga, they were good generals but decidedly second tier. albert sidney johnston was viewed as a first tier general we don't know how good he would've, he was killed too quickly at shiloh. lee is obviously the best the considerably has. lee is a man of stature and reputation they are towering, dominating -- his folders a very high mor

we are giving as the european union to europe. so commission and the member states, all of 1000000000 euros, maybe humanitarian assistance, that those regions so that they can really buy more food and they are able to feed their citizens. that's not the only action we are taking. we are also investing in the food production capacities in africa because africa import 80 percent of the fort in the future. so africa, for instance, as a continent is very dependent on the import. and that's why we also want to strengthen the capacity of production capacity in africa and, and i'm personally from loading some of our you developing cooperation finance. and so that we can support food, sustainable food operate systems in our part of it just mentioned that dependence of several african countries when it comes to imports. it is belief that nearly 25000000 tons of grains are in ukraine. water, you're trying to do to get this food out of the international market. yeah. well, of course we also tried to, to work with ukraine so that we could sti

so i think referencing represented us how the european union and the african union could cooperate as effectively as possible to meet this challenge that we are jointly faced to take measures a lot that we can choose the core to reach the african countries in the spirit of partnership to help improve will strengthen the production capacities in africa and also to ensure the supporting measures so, so that one can help me advert. there is a potentially serious crisis or a number of countries. it could have a, a harmful effect in africa, but also in europe. that's one element and you'll see the detail, conclusions on that today is the energy. and we all know this is a fundamental challenge for all of us. just extremely important on the, on the one hand to this just on the proposal. so put on the table by the commission, you know, the to, to prepare the following steps. we follow you, you so very important initiative we had your turn into its change views and to, and to make progress on that topic. and especially where we understand is extremely important to work on the possibility and i

that is what we are seeing here with the fracturing of unionism within the selection. fin of unionism within the selection. on the of unionism within the selection. 0n the trade issue, you get lots of voices in northern ireland sing the protocol works for them, giving them access to both gb and the eu market. the next question i want to ask you is, clearly there is a big decision ahead now forjeffrey donaldson as the leader of the dup. he says he will wait till after the queen's speech to make a decision on whether or not to return to the power—sharing executive. do you want to see him do that? issues with the protocol notwithstanding, do you think that actually it's going to be better for the think that actually it's going to be betterfor the dup think that actually it's going to be better for the dup to think that actually it's going to be betterfor the dup to be back in government and to sort out those issues from within the power—sharing structures, or do you feel that jeffrey donaldson was necessary to the government, wejust jeffrey donaldson was necessary to the government,

so if the union that union forced that subsidiary arm is smaller army. i'm going to tell you about little more in a minute were to go to petersburg and take petersburg now and the commander has an option go for richmond go for petersburg. if the confederates cover richmond leave petersburg uncovered and that smaller union army takes petersburg. the confederates are done in richmond. they will not be able to hold richmond. they will not be able to maintain lee's army nor the richmond and they're gonna lose northern virginia most of the state really so this is very this is a very sensitive target. the grant is poking out with a smaller army. it could be grant's entirely open to the possibility that while he is up here in northern virginia directly supervising the army of the potomac. these guys will win the war. well, it might happen. and so any hopes without by stretching lee and all those directions he will be able to gain an advantage over him. well that leads to another problem though. another thing that grants going to have to deal with is here. so he

what percentage of starbucks is unionized right now? joe: when it comes out of it, we are organizing workers. it is very clear we have -- all of these stores -- when it comes down to the actual methods of organizing, it is partner to partner. workers are finally realizing they have power and young people are recognizing that. as we -- fighting against corporations, we will continue winning. kristen: this is interesting, you talked about young people being the ones to drive this, the folks who work at starbucks. you grew up in a time when the gig economy halted the growth of unions nationwide them aright? recently, there have been notable places that unionized including amazon warehouses. do think the tide has changed? joe: i think it has. young people are recognizing that if you work at a bad job, do not quit, organize. unions not only have power at amazon and walmart and all these other labor victories that are pushing forward our movement, we are going to continue fighting. our generation should be known as jen--- gen-u for our unioni

european union with this multi century union. and he, i believe you formulated that 5 years ago when he was running for president the 1st side. and clearly he's sick now to try to achieve that. let's see if it works. and how could he do that? there was so many things in these, these, the speeches that you just, i mean, even the idea of getting rid of unanimity, this qualified majority voting. i'm presuming you would need a, you'd never see to get that through. well, that's been the problem indeed. but there might be a new momentum around the need to have a qualify. majority voting, at least in some new areas. so i guess somebody speaks of the conference of the future of europe, which clearly are probably going to become new policies. but fundamentally what my course focusing here is interesting but challenging in the sense that he's not suggesting to expand your opinion. and he's just suggesting to have different kind of centers we call the your zone with the heads of state who should be able to meet to discuss your your current
