In fact, how long it takes depends on each piece and sometimes it takes up to six assistants to create a piece. Each one very unique and special.

Particularly in Eastern Europe by police who simply dont know how to control the flow of people. But in germany, with the most generous asylum policy, theres been a warm welcome for the new arrival. Translator im so happy that germany is for a lot of people outside germany, a land of hope. This is something of great value, looking at our german history. Reporter germany sent buses to those stranded on the way. It plans to take 800,000 refugees. Hungary has taken a harder line with its razor fence, and its refusal to be part of a quota system to distribute the migrants throughout the continent.

What would these countries have been thinking 30 years ago, if at the moment of the fall of the berlin wall, we would have said no, not right now. Reporter slowly, the mechanisms are being put in place to take care of the needs of the refugees. There is still controversy about how to handle the crisis couldntment wide.

Why it may be more difficult for people to get a traditional full time job with benefits. State lawmakers strike a blow against salary, secrecy. Do you know what your coworker makes . Ines to make sure that you dont hit them when youre digging. 811 is a free service. Im passionate about it because every time i go on the street i think about my own kids. Theyre the reason that i want to protect our community and our environment, and if me driving a that truck means that somebody gets to go home safer, then ill drive it every day of the week. Together, were building a better california. Selling 18 homes . Easy. Building them all in four and a half months . Now that was a leap. I was calling in every favor i could, to track down enough lumber to get the job done. And i knew i could rely on American Express to help me buy those building materials. There are always going to be unknowns. You just have to be ready for them. Another step on the journey. Will you be ready when growth presents itself . Realize your buying power at open. Com good news on this labor day for california women. A package of pair pay legislation is on the governors desk. Reporter frankly, weve all heard the numbers. For ever dollar a man makes, a woman doing the same work makes 77 cents. Even less if shes black or latina. Its not legal, but it persists. Now california is closing the loophole.

If were going to do hundreds of millions of contract, were going to understand what our contractors are paying their people, and if theyre paying them fairly or not, the consequence. Reporter making californias equal pay laws toughest in the nation. Employers must know show wage differences are based on merit, not gender. To close the persistent, long standing, and very detrimental wage gap that women have closed at work. Of course the challenge has long been how do women know when theyre being underpaid. Absolutely, but i dont think id be told about it. I dont think it would be knowledge to everyone whos working there. Thats the problem. Reporter employers arent required to tell, but they will no longer be able to retaliate against women who ask, or discuss what their male coworkers earn. Having a daughter. You dont want her to grow up, and have that prejudice, and work just as hard, and publicly do a better job than most men and get paid less. It should be equal. Reporter an entrepreneur like barbara williams, it seems simple. You work hard, you should succeed. Reporter fewer women ever file claims, so theres very little enforcement, the new laws wont erase the imbalance, but the hope is theyll prod more women to speak up, and prod more employers to do the right thing.

I want to quote them here. They say they want to be the party of the American Worker and the party of higher wages. Thats great. But think about it. They oppose raising the minimum wage. Theyre doing everything they can to bust unions. And then they want to claim to be the party of the American Worker. Before leaving boston, the president ordered several chowders to go from the union oyster house. Here in the bay area, tom vacar spent this labor day talking to people about the current state of the u. S. Labor market and the overall economy. A constant battle to keep what theyve fought for. Weve seen an uptick in members coming in, and members organizing which, when Union Members get increases, that tide floats all boats. For nonunion workers, many jobs available, but for often disappointing pay. We also see a new resurgence in people just getting tired of being paid low wages and lack of benefits.

Reporter but many of the new jobs are for part timers, freelancers, and independent contractors without benefits. Its getting much, much, much tougher to get that traditional full time job with benefits. In a word, labor day 2015 is uncertain. For workers, theyre not popping the champagne.

Uc berkeley says state and federal assistance to the low wage working poor cost the nation 153 billion. 31billion in california alone. I think people are ready 30 push back. They just want a piece of the pie that makes life decent for them and their family. I dont think thats too much to ask for. Reporter if those policy changes are not forthcoming, some folks think that more and more workers will do what the longshoremen did.
