What are we got it we've got union -- -- -- walking off the job at ground zero now we reported this yesterday.
The enormous response that you Clinton about this is -- -- focused -- now -- back on the job but they are threatening to strike because they haven't got a contract.
This is work on world trade.
Ground zero.
Bring in that Vincent that -- -- from the Competitive Enterprise Institute broad Vincent now look.
You'll an opponent of unions and that behavior and I'm sure you share the outrage on the part of our audiences that we focus.
Walk -- off the job of the ground zero a construction site okay.
My question to you is -- Who's gonna stand up to a.
Well -- first you know I'm against compulsory unionism if workers -- to ban together to try to get the best way to that they deserve I'm all for that.
As far as who's gonna stand up to them.
I'm not sure I mean the question here is is that is nothing sacred I mean their protest in the construction at the World Trade Center.
I mean thankfully they're not tone -- enough to protest.
And strike at the memorial.
But do you concrete workers and I think the carpenters workers are gonna start jumping -- -- -- itself work stoppage that a strike but hey they're just not working.
But it -- I don't know what's gonna -- -- that you see that does raise the question doesn't if -- behave like this as a union them.
I took place like this at a time like this are the tree a few weeks before the tenth memorial -- outrage gold 9/11.
You do that.
Sure it does not call for some politician to sort of stand up to Hussein.
Don't do this stop doing this so what -- is now Bloomberg well is governor -- analyst you know.
No I don't know I haven't heard anything from that enemy yup remember these unions are very powerful -- but just the -- themselves control millions and millions of dollars.
-- officers -- make in -- six figure is still a lot of politicians are simply scared to go after them.
And Vince who wants to -- -- I wanna get to that breaking news that we brought everybody just a few months ago and is on the union front UAW president Bob king has just said.
The vast majority of non US automakers with plants in America have agreed to confidential discussions with the unit about organizing.
That's.
That's sounds like a bombshell today you could get the UAW into non American auto plants in America.
Is this possible.
I don't it's possible they've tried before and they failed miserably but yet you know what I don't in the negotiations because Bob king has said that if they don't he's gonna -- and human rights violators.
Remember the UAW earlier this -- don't let obvious.
Published a list of principles.
Where they said that unless the car companies take away the secret ballot from workers and -- all these things to.
Grease the wheels for unionization even if the workers don't want it.
They're gonna come after and they're gonna do corporate campaigns.
Basically extortion against -- foreign car companies.
It's a way it is apps earlier -- just don't know it doesn't surprise me because these companies are probably really scared of what Bob king is gonna start saying about them demonize -- national over again is like pulling the -- body that crisis.
I -- thank you very much for joining us we appreciate you being with us thanks a lot still expects --
