Bloomberg Government reporter 281 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: Emily Wilkins joins US now from the nation's capital. Emily, 282 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: good morning. As we heard, uh, Russia is now saying 283 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: that Ukraine has actually targeted an oil facility in its territory, 284 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: the first cross border action in this war. What's the 285 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: White House assessment of how things are going against Russia? 286 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: And I think we're definitely gonna learn a little bit 287 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: more about this as you know, Washington continues to wake 288 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: up and see reports about these helicopters making this really 289 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: rare cross border move and to attack an oil storage facility. UM. 290 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: I think really at this point you have seen wide 291 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: ranging bipartisan support on behalf of Ukraine, that Ukraine is 292 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: the victim here, that they were the one attacked, and 293 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: that they are doing everything that they need to sort 294 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: of keep keep their people safe and and keep going 295 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: as a as a country and as a democracy. UM. 296 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: But definitely this will be something to watch throughout the 297 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: day exactly what the response here is and how, if 298 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: at all, this might change request for aid requests for 299 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: weapons um. Right now, the Biden administration is considering that 300 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: half billion to Ukraine in funding an additional aid um 301 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: that would be humanitarian as well as military. And we're 302 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: seeing Congress continue to discuss sanctions on Russia as well. 303 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: So definitely still a lot of activity in Washington in 304 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: support of Ukraine. And it's been very interesting Emily as 305 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: well to hear President Biden get even more candid about 306 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: how he thinks things are being perceived by Russian President 307 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin, this idea that the president may be self isolated, 308 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: maybe misled by his own advisors. What's the advantage for 309 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: President Biden to put out this kind of speculation, as 310 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: he him self terms it, about how Putin is perceiving things. Sure, 311 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: and I do want to just note here that the 312 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: President did say that he didn't want to put too 313 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 1: much stock in it at this time because we don't 314 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: have that much hard evidence that these advisors are now 315 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: under house arrest. But it really kind of shows this 316 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: isolation of Putin, and it would suggest, if it is correct, 317 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: that perhaps there have been some cracks within Putin's inner circle, 318 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: which was the Bowl of sanctioning some of these Oldgarks 319 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 1: and other people that were supposedly close with Putin. I mean, 320 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: the idea for things like that is that by hitting 321 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: people close to Putin, then they will put pressure on 322 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 1: Putin to either change course or you know, potentially take 323 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: other actions. And so I think at this point that's 324 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: kind of the impression that the White House wants to give. 325 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 1: It is coming at a point where there also has 326 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: been reporting that a number of Algarks have not been 327 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: sanctioned in Russia and that the sanctioned system is not 328 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: perhaps as strong as it could be, that there's not 329 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: a ton of coordination between who's being sanctioned by which countries. Uh, 330 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: And I think this might be sort of a way 331 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: for the Biden administration to kind of emphasize that these 332 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: sanctions do but are potentially doing something. And speaking of pressure, 333 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say that the president's feeling 334 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 1: some pressure when it comes to inflation, with this announcement 335 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: that there's going to be this pretty huge, though long 336 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 1: slow release from the Strategic Reserve. Yeah, he is absolutely 337 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: feeling pressure, There's no question about it, from within his 338 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: own party, which is already facing a very tough mid term. 339 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: You know, Nathan, Historically, if if you're the party that's 340 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: in power, that's saying in the White House, mid terms 341 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: are not good for you, and they just get worse. 342 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: The worse are a president's approval rating gets. And part 343 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: of that is side to oil and gas prices. Americans 344 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: do blame Biden more so than they do putin or 345 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: big oil companies for the spike in prices, and so 346 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: this is a way for Biden to try and send 347 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: the message that he is doing something to be active 348 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: in it. I think there is a question of exactly 349 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: how much that might ultimately wind up lowering gas prices. 350 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: We did didn't see huge drops um last year when 351 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: President Biden also tapped the strategic reserves. So I think 352 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: that's a serve of a question about what will happen next. 353 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: We also know that in the House and in the Senate, 354 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: Democrats are startings who look at bills that could potentially 355 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: reduce the price and oil and start discussing it. UH 356 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: Speaker Nancy Pelosi yesterday dismissed the idea that there would 357 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: be a holiday from the gas tax because she's worried 358 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: the savings would not be passed down from oil companies 359 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: to consumers. But she mentioned potentially a windfall tax um. 360 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: There's been some other things that have been considered in 361 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: terms of putting pressure on oil companies to lower their prices. 362 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: Thanks for this, Emily, good having you on with us. 363 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Government reporter Emily Wilkins for our ninety nine one 364 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 1: studios in Washington, d C.

State Trial Court Judge 442 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: Patrick McAllister's said, and a ruling that maps redrawing the 443 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 1: states congressional districts were jerrymander to benefit Democrats. The judge 444 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 1: gave lawmakers until April eleventh to redo the maps. If 445 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: the new maps failed to pass muster in the courts again, 446 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: the judge said he would order the state to pay 447 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: for a court approved expert to redraw the maps. The 448 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: federal judge has overturned most of a restrictive Florida voting law, 449 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: calling it discriminatory.

It's five thirty nine on Wall Street. 548 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: The following is an editorial from Bloomberg Opinion. This senatorial 549 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: was written by the Bloomberg Editorial Board. The Biden administration 550 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: has once again hauled for higher taxes on affluent households 551 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: to cover the cost of extra spending. Specifically, the administration's 552 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: just released budget plan proposes a new minimum tax of 553 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: twenty percent on the full income, including unrealized capital gains 554 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: of taxpayers with wealth of more than one hundred million dollars. 555 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: This is both radical and demanding. Complex rules will be 556 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: needed to allow for the valuation of assets that can't 557 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: easily be marked to market, and to let taxpayers settle 558 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: their liabilities over time. In short, this proposal, like the 559 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: budget as a whole, just isn't happening. That's not entirely 560 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: surprising that the administration's continuing failure to wrestle with the 561 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: implications of its spending ambitions remains disappointing. This editorial was 562 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: written by the Bloomberg Editorial Board.

Mike, 621 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: good morning, Thanks for being with us. The estimate on 622 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: the terminal four nine thousand is the median from economists 623 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: and three point seven percent for the unemployment rateomy jobs 624 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: growth has been one of the bright spots for this 625 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: red hot economy, and it looks like economists think it's 626 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,399 Speaker 1: gonna keep going. They do, and the Fed is hoping 627 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,359 Speaker 1: it keeps going. But what they would like to see 628 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 1: his more people coming into the labor force looking for jobs, 629 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: because at this point they're afraid, uh, the wages could 630 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 1: get into some sort of inflationary spiral if people start 631 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,400 Speaker 1: to think that inflation is going to be with us 632 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: for a long time, so they'll be watching the average 633 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: hourly earnings of the participation rate closely. Today both are 634 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: supposed to take up. The question is by how much 635 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: Now we seeing any signs ahead of the release of 636 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,240 Speaker 1: people getting pulled back to the sidelines just by virtue 637 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 1: of the fact that ages are going up. UH, we 638 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: are seeing people In the last couple of months, we've 639 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: seen significant advances in the number of people who are 640 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,359 Speaker 1: in the labor force. A lot of people, the theory went, 641 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: we're staying home because they were afraid of getting COVID. 642 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: Now the danger has gone down, it appears, and they 643 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 1: were also living off the savings they got from the 644 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: government stimulus programs and that has gone away. So a 645 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: lot of people finding themselves in need of money and 646 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 1: going back into work. What is the expectation about what 647 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 1: we could see when it comes to UH increases in wages, 648 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: given that we are starting to see a retail spending 649 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:44,359 Speaker 1: consumer spending start to lag a bit at least from 650 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: what many Wall Street analysts have been expecting. Well, we 651 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: just got wage data for the month of February, which 652 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: one month behind this job's report, but the wage data 653 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: showed that we saw wages rise eight tenths of a 654 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: percent of very strong performs during the month of February. 655 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: So the question is does that continue When I have 656 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: talked to FED officials in recent weeks, they talked to 657 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: c e o s in their district who are telling 658 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: them that it is getting easier to find people, but 659 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 1: they are still offering higher wages than they used to. 660 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 1: The question is the second round, do they need to 661 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,800 Speaker 1: keep going higher in order to keep people with the 662 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,800 Speaker 1: quit rate that high. It is a possibility, and I 663 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 1: guess there's a question as well about whether there's demand 664 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,839 Speaker 1: for I guess, uh, maybe I'm terming this the wrong 665 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,279 Speaker 1: way the right kinds of jobs, because it seems like 666 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of hiring lately in you know, transportation, manufacturing, 667 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,880 Speaker 1: the good side of the payrolls ledger and services have 668 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: been lagging a bit. We have seen services come back 669 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,320 Speaker 1: in the last month or so. Particularly last month, we 670 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: saw a hundred sixty one thousand people come back into 671 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 1: the leisure and hospitality category, which is mostly restaurants and bars. 672 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 1: Hotels are still trying to staff up, but we'll see 673 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 1: if that continues that was that's one of the most 674 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 1: customer facing jobs out there, And so if you are 675 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: afraid of COVID, you don't necessarily want to go right 676 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: back to work. But now as people have to, as 677 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: the COVID danger goes down and people go back to restaurants, 678 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: there so far being able to find people in the 679 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 1: last month or so. I mean, that's got to be 680 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: a big consideration for the FET. Isn't about whether we're 681 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: really coming out of the pandemic recovery here? If we 682 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,919 Speaker 1: do start to see more employment coming on the services side. 683 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,000 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what a lot of FED watchers are 684 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,839 Speaker 1: looking for, isn't it. It is, and the FED is too. 685 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,839 Speaker 1: They would like to see strong growth. Their forecast, which 686 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: most Well Street economists dismisses that they'll be able to 687 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: raise interest rates over the next three years and unemployment 688 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,320 Speaker 1: won't change. Uh. The idea of raising interest rates is 689 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,359 Speaker 1: to raise unemployment a little bit. But as long as 690 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 1: the labor market stays strong, then it's gonna be a 691 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: question of what you have to pay people to keep 692 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 1: it that way. If it can stay strong, that helps 693 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:05,320 Speaker 1: the economy avoid recession and helps create the soft landing scenario. 694 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 1: The Fed looks for probably about thirty seconds left here, Mike, 695 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,399 Speaker 1: how big a deal is this report for the Fed? 696 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 1: I mean, we've got one more before the next decision, right, 697 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 1: Actually we don't. The the calendar works out there. Next 698 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,320 Speaker 1: FED decision after this is going to be two days 699 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 1: after two days ahead of the job's report. So this 700 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 1: is the last jobs report they'll see. They're more interested 701 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 1: in the trend. They kind of told us what they're 702 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 1: planning to do, all right, Mike McKee, are Bloomberg Economics 703 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 1: correspondent with us ahead of the March payrolls report too 704 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 1: out eight thirty am Wall Street Time.

We get to the 708 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 1: legal stories we are watching this morning from Bloomberg's Jeff Bellinger. 709 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: A new law in Washington State makes rideshare drivers for 710 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 1: companies like Uber and Left both for some benefits, but 711 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: the workers will still not have employee status. In Maryland, 712 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,920 Speaker 1: a bill granting workers up to twelve weeks of paid 713 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 1: time off every year for family or medical needs was 714 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 1: passed by lawmakers and sent to the governor. A Texas 715 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: appeals court ruled that Union Pacific Railroad must face a 716 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,759 Speaker 1: property damage and personal injury lawsuit over alleged exposure to 717 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 1: a chemical released into a Houston neighborhood.

Now, another legal 721 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: story we're watching brings us a Supreme Court where a 722 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: pair of cases could test the expansion of a workplace arbitration. 723 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: The decisions will have ripple effects on disputes involving Amazon, 724 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: the gig economy, and the US Chamber of Commerce. At 725 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: least nine lower federal court cases have been paused waiting 726 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,919 Speaker 1: for the decisions in these cases. For more, Bloomberg's June 727 00:39:55,960 --> 00:40:00,719 Speaker 1: Grosso speaks to Emery Cellier, a professor at Loyola University, 728 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,800 Speaker 1: New Orleans College of Law. Tell me about the importance 729 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: of this case together with another case that was heard 730 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,279 Speaker 1: this week, and the ripple effects of these cases. So 731 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 1: there are sixty million arbitration agreements in the American workplace today, 732 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 1: and this means that you have limited proceedual protections if 733 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 1: you want to assert any claim involving your employment, and 734 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 1: these tend to be confidential proceedings, and so arbitration in 735 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 1: the past has been used to cover up a lot 736 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 1: of widespread wrongdoing. We have to employment arbitration cases heard 737 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,879 Speaker 1: this term, and the Supreme Court is defining the contours 738 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 1: of when is workplace arbitration appropriate. There are several cases 739 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:44,120 Speaker 1: that are being held awaiting a decision here. Yes, that's correct. 740 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 1: The lower courts placed their decisions on hold, and so 741 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: these employment cases can run their course. So the Federal 742 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:55,319 Speaker 1: Arbitration Act, it desembs transportation workers. They're not covered. They 743 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 1: can't be forced to arbitrate under federal law. And so 744 00:40:58,280 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: there are a lot of lower court cases that they 745 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: put on hold involving arguable transportation workers to see how 746 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,759 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court rule in these cases. You know what 747 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: will be the final say as to the scope of 748 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,320 Speaker 1: workplace arbitration. And this is a big deal with the 749 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 1: big economy. You can argue that some truck drivers, that 750 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,279 Speaker 1: some delivery drivers, that they are considered transportation workers and 751 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 1: so they should be exempt from arbitration agreements under the 752 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 1: federal law. Would you say that usually at the Supreme Court, 753 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,720 Speaker 1: arbitration wins out. Yes, that has been the track record 754 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: for the past forty or fifty years. However, in two 755 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 1: thousand and nineteen there was one workers victory and a 756 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,320 Speaker 1: kiss called new Prime via Olivera, and I never expected 757 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,759 Speaker 1: to see that coming. And so there's a glimmer of 758 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 1: hope for workers here. But the past track record is 759 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,560 Speaker 1: not really good for workers last forty or fifty years. 760 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,840 Speaker 1: And this Viking Rivers case here is just one of 761 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,879 Speaker 1: several cases this term involving arbitration. There are actually five 762 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,560 Speaker 1: total arbitration cases being heard, which is unusual. The Court 763 00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 1: has heard like one or two or three a year. 764 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 1: And I believe the Board has an interest in promoting arbitration. 765 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 1: Arbitrations like a safety valve for an overcrowded judicial docket. 766 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,439 Speaker 1: It's like every case to get since arbitrations one less 767 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 1: case of courts have to hear it. I think the 768 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 1: justices have an interest in trying to keep arbitration fine 769 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 1: tuned and working well.
