into the union. as far as affecting mcclellan and halleck, i don't think so. to me, one of the problems with mcclellan is he thinks he can fight this war with a minimal level of violence. and unfortunately, he's not right because he's got an opponent who's certainly willing to use as much violence as it takes for them to win. so, if you have an opponent that's willing to be violent, then you don't have a lot of choice if you're going to get what you want out of it. so, he talks about understanding the nature of the war, understanding what's motivating people, what's driving them, what are the factors going on here and a lot of other things, and mcclellan just doesn't understand that. and as the war goes on, he increasingly, where the violence escalates, it becomes increasingly difficult for him to get a grip on that. he eventually does, but he's a little slow to come to that. as far as halleck, i -- he remains an enigma to me. i think part of the problem is that he's very much steeped in the writings

union massive run down employment throughout the course of the entire union we've got things like fifty percent plus youth on employment in several mediterranean countries they have a euro currency project which is a fiasco built on sand by the sort of deluded technocrats who believe they know the best thing for all people and therefore realistically the only thing the european union can try to do is keep blame storming anybody russia who cares because ultimately the european union what started and has rendered all these wonderful supranational tread project is ultimately falling apart at the seams because it has become itself a crumbling soviet style empire which in many cases replicates some of the more ridiculous facets of the old soviet union the truth is right now we have dynamism in the eastern part of europe and unfortunately western bureaucrats western political leaders within the european union fail to or simply are incapable of understanding the realities of the new deal that is the sovereignty the center of economic growth is moving east in this world and that means countries

did the union kill the herald tribune? for 40 years, united auto worker presidents walter reuther, leonard woodcock, and douglas fraser won higher pay for their members. why in 1979 would fraser agree to take less? employers and labor unions, like buyers and sellers, try to make the best deal for themselves. labor and management: how do they come to terms? with economic analyst richard gill, we'll examine that question on this edition of economics usa. i'm david schoumacher. fewer than 1/3 of american workers are covered by union contract. but organized labor's strength at the economy's pressure points-- the big smokestack industries, the arteries of transportation and communication-- make them a force to be reckoned with. for more than 75 years, labor unions have been a fact of american economic le. how d they get power? we are childn of immignts. the largest number came here around the turn of the century. millions, most of them jewish or italian, unskilled and uneducated, settled in new york city's crowded tenements. wh

past week it's the tussle between the european union and russia. for control of ukraine it's put very much in cold war terms here but very few people want to focus on the real deep deep troubles that are occurring in ukraine and how ukraine is trying to get itself out of a really nasty fix i want to point out to our viewers here that the i.m.f. is knocking on the door if they don't do certain things are not going to get any more money there's hardly any money left in the bank and they have a lot of foreign reserve debts to pay in the first quarter of next year it's dire straits in ukraine and in brussels as blaming moscow go ahead john i think you put the question peter in exactly the right way. this whole issue is being talked about in cold water but in fact ukraine's real interests are being completely neglected i've had occasion to say this now in several other interviews people have asked me whether ukraine has an interest in joining the e.u. and my reply has always been that from the u.s. point of view the only interest is in the political def

along came an act which lowered the power of the unions. it led to one of the biggest economic booms our country has seen. since then, you've seen about 40% union membership in private enterprise go down in the high single digits. that's almost exactly what's happening, opposite, what's happening public unions. they can promise whatever they want. politicians don't care. they just want to get re-elected. private guys have got to get re-elected. this was not about wages. this was simply about relevancy and a meal ticket that these union helpeds know they're losing if this trend continues. >> david, what was this protest all about in your view? >> this protest was about the american working family earning a living decent wage. and i think that labor sees what we should all see, which is a new trend line, where you have massachusetts, california, maryland, new jersey and others taking the steps to finally raise the minimum wage and, in addition, you even have 69% of the public, the american public, according to a new cbs poll, saying they supp

is new financial burden for the european union the question is whether the european union is capable of accepting a member is a having such a potential but having having such a financial needs as ukraine and secondly with the population of a creator has a clear preference for the european union because without paying tribute to self-determination we cannot solve that problem and for the time being this is a process which is going on it's a process within ukraine and we are observers to all that russia is part of you look to create is part of europe sherman is part of it so let us take the time to build a robot but in theory if if some sort of deal emerged before friday for instance could the e.u. afford to forge closer ties with ukraine it would cost a heck of a lot of money could they afford it. well again my answer is crystal clear the question of how much an entry of ukraine will cost so the fiscal impact is not at all on the agenda and nobody can quantify that for the time being because before such an entry becomes effective you have the years of negotiations and years of an adap
