Tech stocks.

Why don't we switch gears totally for a second the SP -- use the Service Employees International Union.

As a job openings here is the job description quoting directly.

To train and lead members in nonviolent Civil Disobedience such as occupying state buildings and banks and the peaceful resistance.

Joining us now.

-- -- the -- all of us state unions frequent guest on this program they'll welcome to us again but CO thank you.

Okay -- I would suggest that it is not leave Egypt.

For a union to pay and organized leadership.

All of -- movement which is going to potentially illegally.

Occupied private property and you -- I don't understand that rationale.

You know it's.

The I read that to its other words peaceful us all the words nonviolent.

-- -- -- -- -- buybacks -- about it that is -- potentially illegal let's talk on private property is disrupting private business actually they were murdered his bank takeovers backed takeovers.

The that's -- what Biden.

What they mean it's not look I'm not gonna argue we -- that this this comes close to being a little over the top.

But -- let me ask your question what's the worst thing what's the worst harm.

This is nothing new for a CLU they're kind of on the edge granted they're very aggressive but what's the worst thing.

That's ever come out of the those kinds of tactics and -- -- -- fairly well real low low life and tell you.

I'll tell you exactly what the worst thing it's a call to remember them.

-- call -- -- and made a habit of invading small banks in the truly invading them.

And telling the bank manager you give loans to -- minority people via -- if you don't your racist you are you lousy races so those words were given and the end result was -- housing crash in minority areas that I negative -- likely tactics.

First of all I disagree water percent -- you're you're quick analysis of the housing crisis but let's stick to the topic.

I asked you what's the worst thing that CIU.

Which is a huge union.

200 mid two million and growing what's the worst thing that's occurred from their tactics and then compare that with the worst things that have happened when businesses.

Destroy communities by moving jobs overseas -- -- How about leave demonstration that the SE -- U organized on the private property of a bank executive -- believe it was new Washington DC frighten the hell out of the youngster who was inside that house I'd call that a negative.

Hello guys are gonna go and I want to -- that last what's -- So you want to compare.

I youngster being frightened with communities being destroyed by buying a body by business is moving overseas to make more profit I know what I'm saying is that it is wrong for a union to hire someone to organize that kind of demonstration on the is legit but I got to move on for a second because of there's another item in the news on what you comment.

The -- -- national labor relations -- It has approved a rule which speeds up union organizing elections and this new rule takes effect in April of next yeah.

Your reaction to that.

Monetize something that may surprise you but it's grounded in fact it is harder to form -- -- in this country -- an anti western democracy in the world.

Because of two things -- think labor law and delays and aggressive employer behavior.

Even under George Bush you approve of this right.

It's it's necessary one absolutely and much more easy and much faster to establish unions in non union operation even under George.

You proven energy yes of course.

One even under George Bush's do you think gap and a Florida company it was unionized do you do I think what would be -- about a company that we unionized do you.

I'm trying to answer your broad question what even entered into that want to want.

Apple I got you know you'll -- more unions you want union representing -- not -- I don't know I don't want apple to answer the question if they could -- -- will be anywhere near the company that it views which it.

I don't care whether Apple's organize at the workers who want to organize them do you want and I'll -- that age it's you're not letting me answer questions.

Yeah even under George Bush 30000 workers a year -- -- -- -- -- the NLRB because there were illegally fired for trying to form unions not.

Throughout the -- and and that's the fact that happen and how -- be front page news or what -- gonna do with apple and unionization but I what it does is that's -- the NL RBS act faster.

Op OK -- -- -- got the last would -- that fell less than usual but we'll leave it at that thank you very much of it -- I'm always good to have you with us appreciate it --
