a union member and pennsylvania. this is chris. caller: "washington journal" my favorite show on television. thank you for that. i am a memberr -- of a private union. when we hear right to work state , we think of that as the right .o work for less this is obviously another attack on unions, particularly public sector unions, but it will trickle down to private sector unions. dues.s, i pay yearly they are nominal. i pay a small percentage out of my wages. as far as i know, none of that given to political activity. my unit does have a political might unionittee -- does have a political action committee, and i can donate to that, but that's it. this notion of the money is being taken to me and used for political purposes, you know what, if they are using it to get a better wages and benefits, that is a good thing. that is why i am a member of the union. guest: absolutely. you are exercising your right. you believe the union is doing good things. funds say that general can be used for lobbying and politics. it cannot be used for direc

, it has become harder and harder for workers to in fact create unions, to become members of unions. you know and i know that employers have acted illegally with the support of the nlrb so that if workers tried to organize the organizers there would be fired and if by some miracle people actually did organize a union, employers would refuse to engage in a first contract, collective bargaining. and that is why i believe that the middle class does not grow unless the trade union movement grows. [cheers and applause] the middle class does not prosper unless workers are engaged in strong collective bargaining. now, what a lot of people, what a lot of nonunion people don't understand is that to the degree they get anywhere near decent wages, it has a lot to do with the success of the trade union movement. because you're driving wages up. in any case, after decades of illegal action on the part of employers, it seems to me we have got to make it easier, not harder, for workers to join unions. that's why we have introduced a new piece of legislation and it says very simply that if 50% of wo

and, yet, that union survives, whereas here, we have 90% union membership. and 90% of the nonmembers continue. the notion that anything can happen adversely here simply doesn't square with things. the notion that there's some federal policy in favor of agency fees is complete of the fact of 164 allows states to prohibit fees. so the founding policy, i believe with respect to their own work force but to the respect of the agency fees. mteu makes that quite clear. when there's a general rule, the court makes it clear that the burden is much higher. they haven't come close to this justification because they can't possibly show that agency fees will lead to the end of the union. and contrary to my brethren, that's the only thing that matters. we're talking about the government's interest as an employer. all they care about is having one union instead of two. they only have to speak to one person. they don't care how robust or effective this union is. they don't want them to be effective. nobody wants a strong bargaining partner that's going to drive up public ex

and mediate any impasses with unions. none of that exists in lobbying, for example. state legislators could close their door whenever they want. justice kennedy: aren't charges -- suppose the union has an article or a public relations campaign to protest merit pay. i take it that's a chargeable expense. mr. carvin: yes, under lehnert. justice kennedy: so collective bargaining in this instance includes this wideranging effort on the part of the union to have a public relations campaign in favor of principles that some of its members that some teachers strongly object to. mr. carvin: exactly, your honor. and my point in response to justice sotomayor would be if they were really state officials subject to subordination by the state legislature, the state legislature could say, just like they could say to their own employees, don't run public relations campaigns adverse to the government. and the key point is, i think they say you can ban collective bargaining, but you can't ban lobbying. but it's important to focus on why th

what the union can and can't do? in the same way a multitude of states have opted some form of exclusive representation, some with opt in arrangements and some not. >> questions? >> it is over here. >> is there a political opponent that could be sectioned out and leaving just direct services to the employee? >> i think the assumption is that you can but that is challenged in this case. who wants to discuss that? >> i guess for my perspective the one thing that gives me a cause is the notion of grievances. but i guess -- the grievance seems like something that is more direct service to the individual where they are getting a tangible, direct benefit. in response to that concern, i would say the union has a lot of power to decide which grievances get advanced and which don't. ultimately the union only advances it if it serves the union's interest. the alternative could be if that turns into a problematic situation there could be a fee for grievances. if you are a non-member and have a grievance that has to be processed

in fact, a wind chill advisory is out for fayette and union county in indiana until a.m. wind chills there could drop to -10 to -150f in those more northern spots. another issue will be isolated slick roads. blowing snow could make some roads morning before the sun comes up. naturally, the side roads are most vulnerable. the cold the day, either. highs will only reach to the mid-20s by the afternoon. most of the day will be spent in the teens, with wind chills in the single skies before a few clouds will wash over the area. here's the good news: temperatures will rebound by tomorrow and friday, with highs in the 40s. friday will be a rainy day as an area of low pressure rides into the tri-state out of the south. we'll be on the backside of that low for the weekend, which means colder air. so, another rain/snow mix is possible on saturday before more light snow on sunday. morning rushmostly clearwind chills below zerolow: 6today very cold early/wind chills 0 to -10 degreespartly cloudy high: 24tonightpartly cloudy steady temperatures through thursday morninglow: 22thursday

is a one of those items the union and bargain for? >> it's never existed in american society and there's no way the public employer could all of a sudden say we are going to take our taxpayer dollars and start giving money to unions, a against they've always been funded through voluntary contributions. if they did become recipients of federal or state funds that would impose restrictions on the speech and other activities that the unions resembled we would never have asked for holding apart from any funding shortfall. >> i have a somewhat different subject, i don't know how to get you to focus on this exactly. i think there are good arguments on your side, and there are good arguments on the other side. when you go into this, it was and may be a kind of compromise 40 years ago. but it was 40 years ago. it was 40 years ago. i mean, maybe marbury v. madison was wrong. they are our people to argue certain were. the concerns i have in terms of workability are not so much the details. i guess something would work out in the labor area. it

involve public employers and unions alike and will be incredibly disruptive. these should be on the mind of the court when it is reconsidering a precedent. one other thing is that i don't think this case very much hope this case will not be seen as a technical discussion of agency fees and the first amendment. this should be viewed as what it is much as a result in favor of petitioner's that would create and place substantial limitations on the ability of working people to advocate for the services they provide. that makes this case part of something larger. legal issues are not as interesting as they should be but what's going on in our country in the moment we are is very important and i believe the court will be thinking in terms of what kind of legacy it wants to provide. >> we have three or four minutes left. what are you looking for and what would raise interest? >> looking out very hopefully. not just in new york's multistate brief but in the government side briefs that were filed. in my mind the holding rested on the facts those individuals were not fu

and i retired and i was in a union, so i have a good pension. >> let's say that the state of my union is in transition. and in turmoil right now. >> the state of my union, i'm concerned about the way that we're treating each other. especially the foreigners. >> welcome whack to "inside story," i'm ray suarez. a signpost in the year, and the cry of the house sergeant at arms, the slow procession down the aisle. the leadership of the house and senate, and military brass, the first lady and her entourage. then comes the ideological choreography. standing or sitting on your hands, looking over the president's shoulder. vice president joe biden, and the new speaker of the house this year, paul ryan. the center of american progress, and chelsea henry, the republic diversity coalition are still with me, and molly reynolds, one of the things that we have been told to expect tonight, a different kind of state of the union, where the president not only gives a laundry list of proposals, but he's going to talk about new politics. >> if we think of what the state of the union can do for the presi

if the school and union are at an impasse, would athletes go on strike? are these schools ready to make some tough decisions like cutting support to other athletic programs like lacrosse field hockey, or even raising tuition? >> the list of grievances these players presented are a list of grievances that players could have presented 5 or 10 years ago across the college community, but they haven't been addressed. whether or not you have the security of a scholarship, for how long, whether you have health insurance, stipends, transfers...we've been over this. we've been over this and over this and over this... >> it's bringing us into a sea of complete uncertainty. >> the ncaa says it will fight the northwestern effort all the way to the supreme court. >> i'm not saying the ncaa created institutional racism and poverty in the us. but the ncaa consciously benefits, because they put players from a particular background in a position where rocking the boat is lethal for their opportunities to be able to pull their family out of poverty. >> the ncaa has acknowl

and whether or not they do it even in the private sector where there are unions, the ability and the fact that employers now unionization as possible is a threat that is out there. that will be an unfortunate situation. >> one last question that i think everyone may have something to say. to recap the history, this case comes out a victim in a case called knox versus service employees union in which without particularly the question having been presented justice alito said by the way there is a case that supports the public employee unions. i happen to think it is a complete anomaly and probably should be overruled immediately the opportunity was presented to him in a case called harris versus quinn. he said due to the attorney for the union are you aware that many people thought he was wrongly decided and think it should be overturned? in his opinion the opinion is devoted entirely to trashing the precedent and saying that it is a violation of the first amendment and then there is a paragraph saying but i don'ti don't have five votes. we're going to have a more limited result which

no one can be required to join a union as we all know and services the union directly and gives them collective bargaining and grievance and so forth. because the court said otherwise there would be the problem of free riders, people would say i want the benefits but i don't want to play. they insist that it must be overturned. there's no conceivable way they can win. let's talk about the rational. jeff, i bet you have an interesting take on that. why don't you go first. >> sure. so a couple of points about it. i'm starting from a place where i think this is -- there's a very serious associational interest in compelling someone to financially support a union. so you have to view through the lenses of this has to be so compelling and important to override an individual's right to decide how to direct his or her own money and i think -- i don't think this gets to that level because at the end of the day, i don't think anyone seriously contends that this will cripple unions. all it means is that they'll have a little less money or might need to operate a little more efficiently or sort

in those days they actually used to cut the state of the union message up into paragraphs and create committees to address each one of the issues the president suggested. washington and adams followed that practice. they created this idea that from time to time was an annual message. the years it was known as the annual message. it didn't become known as the state of the union message until the 1940's. in 1948 there was a hollywood movie called state of the union. that cemented the idea that it was the state of the union message. washington and adams went in person to congress. ,'s jefferson didn't enjoy public speaking. he gave to public speeches while presidents. his first and his second inaugural address. jefferson like to be known as a writer, not a speaker. he got the idea of the president going to congress personally to deliver a list of things he wanted to see done was too much like the british king, the monarch going to parliament. he thought this was not appropriate for a republic. jefferson sent his message to congress. each year after that they would send their messages wh

and union bosses. we would end a disastrous health care program, and replace it with reforms that lowered costs and actually let you keep your doctor. we would respect differences in modern families, but we would also insist on respect for religious liberty as a cornerstone of our democracy. we would recognize the importance of the separation of powers and honor the constitution in its entirety. and yes, that includes the second and tenth amendments. we would make international agreements that were celebrated in israel and protested in iran, not the other way around. and rather than just thanking our brave men and women in strengthen our military, so both our friends and our enemies would know that america seeks peace, but when we fight wars we win them. we have big decisions to make. our country is being tested. but we've been tested in the past, and our people have always risen to the challenge. we have all the guidance we need to be safe and successful. our forefathers paved the way for us. let's ta

lines and come up and hit the union positions from the rear. and federal troops are going to be defending the opposite direction and they're just settling in for the night after dinner on the afternoon of the 2nd of may 1863 at 6:00 p.m., and they're going to be caught by surprise by jackson's troops coming up from behind them through the woods. and while they're caught by surprise that evening, federal troops will rally the next day on the 3rd of may but a very badly shaken hooker will order a wholesale retreat, withdrawing before rebel army only half the size of his own, 60,000 troops versus 130. now, hooker's subordinates one of the key things to remember about intelligence going up and down the chain are actually watching stonewall jackson's redeployment take place. they're passing by their positions within eyesight. so they're seeing this actually taking place throughout the afternoon of may 2nd, but most of hooker's subordinates are expecting intelligence to be coming down from the top to their commands. they're not thinking things are ha

in other cases they ran to union forts and union posts, to safe locations behind union lines. in this case though slaves are running after sherman's army and trying to keep up with him. sherman doesn't like this. it is impractical and it is a nuisance for sherman. he wants his men to move fast. the slaves were following the army are slowing them down. at a place for ebenezer creek in georgia about 20 miles above savanna these difficulties are going to come together with fatal consequences. one wing of sherman's army crosses the creek. on pontoon bridges. the slaves who been following the army are on the wrong side of the creek. they point the pontoon bridges. what you do? freedom is leaving, it is on the wrong side of the creek. many of the slaves go in and try to cross the creek and they drown. the exact numbers, some have said hundreds. people died in pursuit of their freedom, trying to keep up with sherman's army. the march to the sea overall is great for lincoln and the union army. this is not. hundreds of slaves dying. it gets back to washington and gets into the press. s

it has to become harder and harder for workers to in fact create unions and become members of unions. you and i know that employers have acted illegally with the support of the nlrb so that if workers try to organize the organizers will be fired and if by some miracle people actually did organize employers would refuse to engage in collective bargaining. the middle class does not grow unless the trade union movement grows.

the soviet union and the united states. so, how to achieve that? well, the united states would have to pick and choose where in the world it confronted the soviet adversary rather than allowing the soviet union to determine where those battles would be fought. but this is a very difficult thing to do, because if you are a global superpower, you have global interests, so even the most obscure conflict in some far-away place suddenly takes on very important significance, global significance. how do you do that? well, they resolve that dilemma with the nixon doctrine, that america is partners in these various regions, would be given the resources, the arms, the support, to be able to confront the soviet union and its local allies in those regions, without direct american military intervention. and this was music to the shah's ears. this is exactly the role that he wanted for iran. a strong regional power with the full support of the united states. able to contribute to american strategies of containment, to be an asset rather

and kind of transforming unions into advocacy for human rights. so we have a big role for the farmworkers, for the sanitation workers, for the brotherhood of sleeping car porters. as major changes. but american indians do not have a cesar chavez, right? in terms of an american labor leader who creates this civil rights movement. what i'm trying to rethink is that we need to contextualize this struggle around the issue of colonialism. we start thinking about colonialism, then we can draw on the great scholarship of people who have been doing work in the colonized context. and colonial context. the great work of people like frederick cooper and all the people who have really taken the connection between class and colonialism. and that is happening in south asia, among people really making those connections. if we start to think about the west in that way, the workers become part of that story. in fact, american indian labor history is on the rise right -- the rise, so that is what is really interesting. it counters that narrative that we are not doi

that can be addressed by employers and unions. the working week will remain at 35 hours and companies will negotiate longer hours and overtime pay, rest time, and leave. the 35 hour work week has been controversial and it was implemented in the 1990's to boost job creation. many employers say it hurts the ability to compete globally. it was criticized by the economy minister at the world economic forum. of a law thator increases the possibility for employers and you and soon negotiate a deal that would decrease or removed extra overtime charges in the interests of labor organization. >> the proposed bill will be before parliament and it will face criticism from socialists and lawmakers. anchor: much debate to come on that. in the immediate future, france is preparing for strikes on tuesday with public-sector workers, air traffic controller union's, all preparing to protest cutbacks in their various fields. taxis want restrictions on uber. i think we better plan on taking the metro to work. reporter: we will not be taking any cabs.

today, this only includes clinton county (oh) and fayette and union county (in). as for our tuesday mostly sunny, and temperatures top out at 190. so, it'll be another frigid day for the tri- state. that 190f will feel more like 120f once you factor in the wind. the first snow system we are watching will move into the tri-state during the day wednesday. only light snow will be here for the morning drive. but for later commuters, you could have a few tenths of an inch of snow to navigate on your way to work. scattered snow showers pass through our area during the day and the majority of our snow will be done prior to the evening drive. due to the lighter nature of this snow and the time it will fall over, this should lessen the impact on the roadways. in all, 1-2" of snow is possible. the 9 first warning weather team continues to monitor this system that could bring a chance for significant snow on be 3 to 5 inches, or perhaps more depending on the track of the snowmaker. this is it stands, but i wanted to give you a heads up to here.morning rushvery coldlow: 6tues

and 11:00, we'll reair the >> good evening and welcome to thean's live coverage of state of the union address. president and mrs. obama will if the white house for their brief ride to the capital. where shortly after 9 p.m. president obama will make his a jointport before session of congress. we will set the stage historically and politically and our cameras will show you what is happening inside the capitol as the congress, supreme court, the our military leaders, and the diplomatic corps gather in the house chambers. here to help us understand some of the history of tonight's event is the u.s. senate's historian. let's set the stage for why this event has become such an important night. wasn't always so? -- was it always so? betty: president sent their message and writing. it was not a big event like this. televisionbegan coverage and that made it a big in -- event and a national event. since the 1940's it has been a major public event. host: it is mandated by the 2,stitution, in article section three. the president should from time to time. john adams delivered his in person. oft t

state of the union address and a whole lot more, al hunt and margaret talev. great to have you here. al, you are the dean. we have heard all the ways in which this state of the union will be different. in all the ways it will be different, will it matter at all? >> not a great deal, john. that last state of the union given by any president does not matter a whole lot. minimal effect on the election. they are trying to frame whether it is reagan or bush. they try to frame their place in history. this will be an upbeat speech. the great conundrum that he faces tonight is on the one hand, the record is impressive. unemployment down 10% to 5%. stock market risen 178% budget deficit is down. on the other hand, people feel the country is heading in the wrong direction. his popularity is low. people agree the economic recovery has been uneven. it is a contradiction he faces tonight. he will try to emphasize the former. mark: margaret, foreign policy and natural security will be unpredictable terrain. on domestic policy, what is the best case for the white house for w

, it has become harder and harder for workers to in fact create unions, to become members of unions. you know and i know that employers have acted illegally with the support of the nlrb so that if workers tried to organize the organizers there would be fired and if by some miracle people actually did organize a union, employers would refuse to engage in a first contract, collective bargaining. and that is why i believe that the middle class does not grow unless the trade union movement grows. [cheers and applause] the middle class does not prosper unless workers are engaged in strong collective bargaining. now, what a lot of people, what a lot of nonunion people don't understand is that to the degree they get anywhere near decent wages, it has a lot to do with the success of the trade union movement. because you're driving wages up. in any case, after decades of illegal action on the part of employers, it seems to me we have got to make it easier, not harder, for workers to join unions. that's why we have introduced a new piece of legislation and it says very simply that if 50% of wo

this is his last state of the union, and it all ties into the elections. three weeks from yesterday the first votes will be cast in the iowa caucuses. and the goal of the president is to live on and needs a democrat to succeed him in the white house. >> mike viqueira, thank you. keeping a close eye on the presidential address is aljazeera's libby casey, and she joins us from capitol hill. before we talk state of the union here, i wonder if there's a congressional reaction to the iran situation. >> tony, it's certainly a growing reaction, and we're seeing the likes of marco rubio, presidential candidate saying that this is iran testing the boundaries of the u.s., and the u.s. has been weakened by the obama administration in the last year. and i also talked to senator jeff blake of arizona, someone very cognizant of foreign affairs, and he said that he wants the president to talk about this in tonight's state of the union. not just from the commander in chief, but he wants to hear that there's a firm agreement to release these sailors, and other republicans

and we'll reair our state of the union coverage and the republican response starting at 11:00 p.m. eastern, 8:00 p.m. pacific. also, live on c-span2 after the speech, we'll hear from members of congress in statuary hall with their reaction to the president's address. continues. host: our guest, blake texas.hold of good morning to you. guest: good morning. host: what's the most important nt can say to ide you? farenthold: i think -- this is going to be a different state of the union and i want to hear what he envisions his legacy as being because i think i'll have a very different view of that, but i to say.hear what he has host: give an example how? guest: i think he'll say some happen, hings that will like obamacare. i think that will be his biggest legacy, and he sees that as a win. and i don't see it as a win when i go home and hear from folks from my insurance, my small business is going up $10,000 a month and i can't afford to prices. i think it's been a struggle for a lot of folks, and he doesn't see it that way. host: one of the things coming up on the papers this morning is

he affiliated with the labor and bait this well known well-known in the union and that sort of established him by the 1940s. >> so the call of 1941 a. philip randolph was active in the 63 march as well. >> this is often known as martin luther king's march on washington and that's the name that it acquired at the time everybody recognized. >> what was martin luther king's role in the march? >> tonight due to martin luther king established himself as an important leader well known for his leadership in the montgomery bus boycott and the pbs decade he formed the southern christian leadership conference and he was widely known as the leader of the southern civil rights movement was based on civil disobedience and jim crow in the south. he was a tremendous speaker and everybody knew that he wasn't the only principled leader of what we would trust the civil rights so i think it's important to remember that went back to and equal access to jobs and it really was to build a national movement that could dot racial equality so he was very well known as a speaker and leader. when a philip randolph we

in addition, if you get everybody organized and you overcome all these obstacles and you form a union and you get a contract and you get paid more for picking cotton, when they pick the cotton crop and everybody goes away. some of them go on to pick melons and some of them pick lemons or whatever. you as an organizer, you try to fall on them but you have to start all over again with organizing them and educating them. those are just obstacles that don't concern the growers. the growers use a lot of different techniques against the union organizing. they would evict the strikers from the housing and from their land. then they could work with local law enforcement to arrest them. a lot of strikers were arrested for vagrancy which was this all-purpose charge in the 1930s that you could be put in jail for up to a month just because a police officer said you seemed like a vagrant. then also there is the violence. there's a lot of vigilante violence. in the cotton strike of 1933, three workers were killed. there were killed by vigilantes. this was not uncommon. so because of all of that, it
