we have never on the telling c_e_o_s
that they should use their position of
power
to try to get their employees to do
something that they want
now if those employer you say to
employees
explicitly or implicitly
uh... ha july two b
uh... do something sexual i've got a
wanting it to practically rabbit
uh... you
the you can get busted pretty badly we
gotta laws against
using that power position over people
at least to get sexual favors from
but political favors
seems like the republicans think that's
just a fine idea used to be a legal
citizens united said none on a non did
this this is an issue of free speech
here for our as well this is the
following the cross the center for
public policy dot
cc p p
dot org
awful close to uh... the older soviet
uh... logo there isn't peter
you know we were out by the rate that
clip before went off
the party
haiti's vp irate or but to no avail
falwell ok it's bar cc p p dot the word
had peter ferrara
how can you give them the employers
using their position
power to coerce their employees
or or frankly threatened them i mean you
know the cobras georgia-pacific
basically you know this this is not
going to be in in the best interest of
of the company and therefore you
uh... how their workers interest always
be congruent with the interests of the
company
well i'm interested in that the painting
uh... coercion or forcing people
appealing aspects so up
uh... i i'm not defending that all uh...
now a perfectly tailored for employers
it he's re-elected me fala policy
they'll have couldn't coptic weapons
from my company
uh... that's perfectly legitimate and
that's all i can cope rather stay tuned
and uh... so uh... i think that your
little uh... consequence the consequence
if they're predicting is not one that
you can demonstrate with we hampshire
logic or solid reality it's a matter of
political opinion
so this is this a space ically asserting
the the uh... political penny
yellow people believed that that mister
koppel consistent pamela country code
becker tidbit
the seventeen seventy-six actual but i
don't disagree with you about free
speech but i'm talking about
somebody who has who runs a runs a
kingdom basically implicated the the
the workplace is a kingdom
the c_e_o_ is essentially a king
and in ride to work for less states they
have absolute part and they can dismiss
anybody anytime for any reasons
and and what they're saying is as a king
out here's what i have to say about the
workers one speak back
they can get fired and i know it
that's that's an imbalance of power
shouldn't we protect people n_c_r_ you
bwi we've had laws on the books for
furry for years and years of protected
workers against their employers shoving
their political perspectives down their
throats
uh... citizen i blew that up
i think that's it i think i think the
supreme court call this wrong
here tonight and i didn't do it that
they paid only at this point the
previous say that it gets
if these popular followed person
supporting these parties elected who
have these consequent to explore
our property we believe
and they've always been predicting that
citizens united methodist
cell twelve i strongly disagree and i
would i would refer you to uh... u_s_
code for forty one beat country seems
expenditures by national banks
corporations and labor
organizations as the title it's uh...
title to chapter fourteen but at the
front f_e_c_ laws
and uh... it says that
he anything of value secured by physical
force job discrimination financial
replies als
or the threat
of force job discrimination of financial
reprisal now that i would say the third
threat of
losing your job is a threat of financial
reprisal
it's a little
policies tara preferably firework with
this law is referred to beyond the
citizens united decision
about preparatory work they also
employers if you put the fire here
employee directly
boat a certain way less they participate
in the campaign election back to cancel
our perfectly fine so better respect
that in the law that spoke to a good how
this this is the law that is
specifically referenced in citizens
united as we the five right wing crazies
in the court are striking this down
missions increase that on the defendant
bucket though i know i park expedient
sitting in a case backed by a police
inferior status that united
and uh... and so uh... ah and i'm also a
graduate of harvard law school and also
a member of st park
and for until you get that
uh... in regard to what these employees
doing today
and what type of these left wing website
sustainability completing today anxious
communication and there's no coercion
involved in that uh... and uh... exo it
all week at the perfectly legal and
tradition in addition the you may lose
your job
is not a former coursing
ireland pedro you may lose your job and
that's a that's whose only saving
occasions
well you know that she never came up
when i participated because united you'd
be right back at his you quick speeding
it time but i would be actually
filing briefs action all the way up and
down the gail fished records circuit
court teen court their citizens alike
i never saw that that that uh... and i
saw that the argument that that one
place to be free to try to fight it
looked as if they don't focus certainly
had a saw that it took action so there
but you are in favor of this weird
notion that money is somehow speech
on time i was property
on the prepare a speech at all they're
doing hard and all these babies are
uh... activation maybe make a day
all the political wing is
is simple speech there just staying at
we think that these popular follow to
obama's reelected all of these cops
quick trip and i agree with them
i got to pay up over here are published
a book he uh... small book here at go
com in the crash twenty thirteen arguing
that
what he's already enacted into law for
next year the cat copy at the tax rate
increase in january first go in effect
there will be in a way nobody can put
that into law the republicans did when
they passed the bush tax cuts by
reconciliation
they automatically expire at the end of
ten years
they were killed by mickey rourke going
that january first
and right that's going to cut a hundred
and trade then allies of the budget
and the expertise of the bush that that
at
obama because she did with the democrats
to expand to the next year each
candidate hectic here because if you
recollect at the time that you can't
increase taxes in a week connie con dot
around there in the bush tax cuts
because like just because that was the
place to park today
that weight back that he said it was
just cuz 'cause that was the price to
get unemployment insurance extended
because republicans were opposed to
people getting extended unemployment
benefits in fact the compromise was that
they cut them from a hundred weeks down
the seventy eight weeks or eighty seven
weeks of something like that
exploration economic profit bachelors
somerset he except that he agreed
that they allow those tax rate increases
to go into effect at that time in you
would cut short the cover-up and lead to
another session peter you got me there
because uh... we have a more economies
start loading larry summers and and and
and my head
well explode you know
it's but before i mean you're predatory
right now i know i dont aunt help remind
me about it
so that in any case i take it so it's a
your there have so you just think it's
just fine
is that that these employers say their
employees you know uh... it's my opinion
the you will lose your job but are you
may lose your job the president obama
gets reelected
but i'm guessing you don't think that it
should be at matter of law that if if
fifty one percent of the employees sign
a card saying we'd like to be a union
that there's a union
why did they should be pre-election
loaded wage
uh... as to whether they should be which
is which is colonel is and you don't
isn't fifty one percent of people saying
yes an election
you know the f_b_i_ you only people who
who oppose secret ballot
collection as to whether they should be
human or the union can you
now i'm not opposing a secret ballot
aleman behind so let's make it a lot was
here
it wants to get out of the risk it
once it was that it was a third check
your once and and and and the reason i
break this up as 'cause this is where
the employees can speak back to the
employer about politics
is once with carjack once fifty one
percent sign the card and say yes
there's a union then there has to be an
election
to decide
which she is gonna represent them who
are going to be the elected
representatives in a union what are
gonna be the rules and bylaws of a unit
there is a series of elections that
follow that
now that there is no question twelve
here he's back at work that we don't get
the election
and it's like telling them to you know
and i'll be there
character purposes liable one-by-one and
be deported msnbc the
expect from the get go you what carter
does is it a lot to catholic any updated
for our you could check has received a
little sister our public policy dot cctv
dot or the thing to govern by
it always fun time
