Who owns Sen, Mullin? Lobbyists, the oil and gas industry and the health care sector have contributed nearly $1 million to Markwayne Mullin’s U.S. Senate campaign since 2021. Mullin’s campaign had pulled in roughly $3.6 million in contributions by Oct. 19, according to Federal Election Commission filings. Comparatively, Democratic challenger Kendra Horn has raised $1.6 million. As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Mullin sits on the Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees health care, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency. Mullin is also part of subcommittees on health, the environment and climate change, and communications and technology. Mullin supports making abortion illegal in all circumstances, including cases of rape, incest, or if the mother's life is at risk. During the 2022 Republican runoff debate, he claimed that if his wife's life were at risk during a pregnancy, neither he nor his wife would want to get an abortion. It pays to be in a union. Literally. Workers who are members of labor unions in the United States make 18% more than their nonunion counterparts, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ annual report on union membership, published today. The report shows the median weekly earnings of full-time and salary workers who were union members in 2022 were $1,216, compared with $1,029 for nonunion workers. That’s nearly $10,000 more per year. Unionized workers typically earn more and have better benefits than nonunion workers, but the difference can vary depending on the type of work and other factors. For example, in 2022, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that union members made 18% more than nonunion workers, with women, African American, and Hispanic workers seeing even larger differences.
The only job I have ever had that paid a living wage is with a Union. The Oklahoma hick can not tell me any thing about a working man's life in America.
@RandomNamejagddjxuossn The corporations and the corrupt politicians that have been bought off by the hundreds of millions of lobbying $$ each year from those corporations are the real mob in the US!
The working man needs protection. The CEO needs protection. Our system allows for two extremes to come together and discuss their grievances. But most importantly, I love living in a country where two men are willing to shed blood for what they believe in.
Sen. Mullin shared some concerns about union intimidation I would agree with, but he let his emotions get the better of him and clearly held a personal grudge. I got that the guy was a thug and a bully, but Mullins did ask him a question then wouldn't let him answer. He could have just made a statement and left it at that. He should have been escorted out of the hearing until he cooled off. (Or, maybe they should have let those two go out back and handle it and come back when they were ready act like adults, just kidding)
The time belongs to the Senator, not the thug the commie chairman brought in. Anytime the Senator says "I reclaim my time," the thug is legally required to shut up.
The increases Mullin was talking about from 2020 to 2023 was fair market working when people flat out refused to work for wages floating arou nf federal minimum wage for decades. Nobody had to push a 15 buck an hr minimum wage because they simply stayed home until they employers bucked up. that is the free market and has little to do with unions. Union wages are negotiated.
He gave a true populist speech. The GOP is not really populist. The audience at that convention needed to hear that the recipients of the MOST welfare are CORPORATIONS.

I've been a big pro Union supporter as my Dad was, 30yrs at GM & my Mom 10yrs at Ford. I've worked 14yrs under the UAW umbrella myself as a UAW member. I don't recall my my parents ever voting Democrat either, it was always Republicans. I was mostly on the fence depending on the candidate. I voted for Obama for his 2nd term ONLY because Romney trashed the American people like garbage as Biden has been doing now. I was ok with his 1st term. I was waiting 35 or so yrs for Trump to throw his hat in the ring. When he did, I was excited! That's my man! And he didn't didn't disappoint! I'm never voting Dem AGAIN!
Unions suck they encourage laziness they prevent you from negotiating man to man with the guy you work for they don't give any incentive to work more than the next guy. You are made to wait around for some turd to do something that you could just do yourself that would be in the interest of efficiency. The bottom line is this unions are good for factory workers who can be replaced easily by immigrants but when it comes to skilled labor they are counterproductive as they do not allow for any type of elevation ie if you are better at something than someone else but you have only been there 1 year and they have been there 6 that person gets paid more even though you bring in more money for the company and produce better quality work. More often than not union guys sit around like a cubicle q***re 5 hours out of a 10 hour work day not only that but it creates an us vs them mentality when it should be a team situation of ill make you money so I can make money and vice versa
@@frankallen6376Some of the unions are working in tandem with "management" and they don't care as long as they make their money. Blind commitment to any organization like that is folly.
To the people who don’t know Sean Obrien I can tell you as a member of local 25 he’s a stand up guy who always puts his members first. And he gets the job done. If you think unions aren’t necessary it’s because you are comfortable in your job and it’s because of unions your job is that way.
Regardless the unions need to be held accountable just like anyone else. The shtick they played for decades thinking they can just yell at people and say they're fighting for workers holds no water when they followed the DNC around in lock step for 20 years. Thousands of people have lost their jobs, manufacturing went overseas, all so they could get theirs and the union bosses refused to negotiate in good faith. I talked with an auto-worker member in 2009 who told me before the auto industry went under the workers would have 30 people on shift with only enough work for 15 or less people. Half would go to the bar next door to drink while the other half would work the shift. They all knew that sooner or later the company would go bankrupt but they weren't allowed to fire anyone because they were union members. What happened since then? Cars keep getting more expensive, workers have been either replaced by robots or the jobs have been outsourced out of the country. It wasn't just because of the pay and benefits, it's the regulations that unions pushed through to stifle competition. This is what got Mullin so upset, was they refuse to acknowledge that they played any part in the regulatory state that not only hurts workers, but consolidates power and hurts innovation. The union heads and special interests were able to make their money and keep their power though. What do you call it when union leaders, management, and politicians are all working together? That's clearly not in the interest of workers or tax payers.
HR 4444 killed the American jobs introduced by a republican from Texas roll call vote 2/3 of republicans yes 1/3 democrats yes signed into law by G W Bush in 2001. China trade bill-----How do i know Wayne Smith Detroit News Ret. that's how I know.
"What happened since then? Cars keep getting more expensive, workers have been either replaced by robots or the jobs have been outsourced out of the country. " You know what else happened? C-suite compensation went through the roof.
I was Teamsters and UAW member until the jobs went away or seniority prevailed in my area. The constant complaining and effort to not work was mind blowing. The union jobs in my area also allow a small number of people to live like they are the elite while the majority live on a lot less. I started my own contracting business later in life, and it never fails, when quoting work for union people, they want to beat you down so they don't have to pay for any benefits and decent wages you're trying to meet for your workers. Total hypocrisy!!
I’m not anti-Union but don’t challenge people who build business. It’s hard work to build something from nothing. Some union guys have become the bullies. It’s wrong PERIOD.
EACH GM car produced $5,500 goes to benefits, retirement? It's getting a bit crazy. And now you know why car manufacturing is going to Mexico.

There are "part time" employees making $35k a year. The healthcare benefits, paid time off and earning potential were 2nd to none. Mullin has no clue what he's talking about.
Love it. Sanders couldn't control a damned thing. Love how these two sides are so opposed. I agree with Mullin much moreso than O'Brien. However, this is exactly the discussion that needs to be had.
Just look at Detroit and see what unions do to an industry and city. Unions are for sale... IE political vote IF union benefits them finically regardless if it benefits the community or industry.
Hmmm let’s put on our thinking caps, when did Detroit start to depict…early 90s…hmm what happened then at the same time…ah yes, the BI-PARTISAN NAFTA bill becoming law. The same NAFTA that exported nearly every manufacturing plant and job to Mexico, China, South America…where labor was cheap because the cost of living in such places wasn’t anywhere close to the current day US. It’s ok, not many understand these things.
The USPS isn't in existence to be profitable. It is a guaranteed constitutional service to be provided by the government. Not to make money off of the people it serves. Geezus H.
Unions aren’t always bad but the intimidation of non union workers that are getting what they want without a union needs to stop. In my experience if you’re good at what you do you can get what you want in dealing with small business. Unions have to shed the rep of getting paid big wages and benefits for a mediocre job done.
Mullin is a non union stooge, he could only win open bid jobs because his labor was cheaper. So he is a damn liar better benefits and salary at a none union company that's bull.
Lmao, after getting their feelings massively hurt themselves. Mullin and O'Brien both look like children here, but it's even worse for Mullin because he's a Senator.
I stopped this video almost immediately. I watched this nonsense by mullin when it happened. For any member of the US senate to act this way without being removed from office is ridiculous. This idiot should have been recalled by the people of Oklahoma, not praised for that kind of bully behavior.
I'm an independent, and not a Sanders ideology fan, but I agree with him here and thought he was handling this about as well as he could have. The Senetor needs to respect the decorum and the teamsters head did a bait and switch with the coffee idea at the end. He would have served himself better to say he was wrong and lets talk our differences out over coffee instead.
30 yr union hand, and i can tell you this is exactly what the unions do. They drove up the cost of every job we were involved with. They had top-notch journeymen and had the ability to do the job, but their interest was how much money they could rake in. It would take more time to explain the issues than available now. Its a choice thig so make the choice.
Everyone wants to make money, that’s not a sin. Big employers use their size and reach to drive down wages and benefits, lot of stories lately about flight attendants living out of their cars and qualifying for food stamps. My company has highest labor costs in its industry but still posts healthy profits quarter after quarter. Of course if they could slash our wages and take away our pension and healthcare they would make more profit. That is the fight we have to fight. All for more effective business that makes more profit but don’t make your profit by asking me to do more more more for less less less
@erniepeters1695 That's why I said it's a choice, so make a choice. Pros and cons in everything we do. Stay safe. I hope all is well. God bless you and yours.
Sen. Mullin started that childish bickering and kept adding fuel to the fire. Sen. Mullin is so out of touch with reality. Sen. Mullin should have been formally admonished and removed from the committee. Geeze definitely an embarrassment!
I can tell you a fact. The shop I worked for stood in the break room and said they would shut down the shop before the owner would allow a union in his shop. He said he would fire everyone
No Union or Organization should be allowed to stop non-union people the right to work. That is against everything a free society stands for. You have a right to join a Union, but you also have a right not to.
Wayne can''t even stand by what he wrote. Then he accuses the guy of hiding money. Typical slippery Dem behavior. He ain't no Republican, but everyone has been told today that he is a great guy. Pure cringe.
And the Senator, a "man" in his 40s representing his state, is just as much a piece of work, if not more so. I know kids a third his age who would think this is absurd behavior. Embarrassing.
Here is the problem. All of the manufacturing jobs have been out sourced and off shored. There is really nothing left to work with in terms of possible union members because those jobs that could benefit from a union are gone now. Unions worked great up until the the early 80's. That is when the manufacturing jobs really started to leave. Keep in mind that unions are a business. Their number 1 goal is to make a profit. More members mean more profit. Their negotiating labor is not free plus at times the the retirement plans are worth it. For example, ABF drivers went from $ 28 an hour to $ 31.5 an hour this year. This does not include any retirement details. That stuff is what the due money is paying for. It is very complicated in terms of what a business can afford since everything now is Global. I remember around 1980 my neighbors with overtime were coming home with more than $ 600 a week, bring home after taxes and dues. That was a living wage from the steel mills around East Chicago back then. I understand the whatever it takes to keep members paying dues to keep the union going. Mullin which is a typical fork in tongue politician was given daddies business from daddy. That is not working for it. It was given to him. Mullin will never mention how the government he is part of signed away all the living wage manufacturing jobs under the bullshit excuse of "free trade". Canada free trade 1988. NAFTA, CAFTA and GATT in 1994. GATT was from the UN starting in 1948. Fast forward to modern times. The government gives billions and billions to companies to continue all manufacturing anywhere but in the states. Can you see a bigger picture yet? The government sold out the people a long time ago. I am sitting in a recliner made in New Albany, Mississippi in 1974. We had jobs back then that paid a living wage. I remember! Any questions?
Unions created the middle class and are trying to maintain it. The union leader does not make a salary anywhere near that of a CEO. His hard work challenging the corporation beats fruit mostly for the workers he represents. The CEO cannot claim the same.

Who owns Sen, Mullin? Lobbyists, the oil and gas industry and the health care sector have contributed nearly $1 million to Markwayne Mullin’s U.S. Senate campaign since 2021.
Mullin’s campaign had pulled in roughly $3.6 million in contributions by Oct. 19, according to Federal Election Commission filings. Comparatively, Democratic challenger Kendra Horn has raised $1.6 million.
As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Mullin sits on the Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees health care, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency. Mullin is also part of subcommittees on health, the environment and climate change, and communications and technology.
Mullin supports making abortion illegal in all circumstances, including cases of rape, incest, or if the mother's life is at risk. During the 2022 Republican runoff debate, he claimed that if his wife's life were at risk during a pregnancy, neither he nor his wife would want to get an abortion.
It pays to be in a union. Literally.
Workers who are members of labor unions in the United States make 18% more than their nonunion counterparts, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ annual report on union membership, published today.
The report shows the median weekly earnings of full-time and salary workers who were union members in 2022 were $1,216, compared with $1,029 for nonunion workers. That’s nearly $10,000 more per year.
Unionized workers typically earn more and have better benefits than nonunion workers, but the difference can vary depending on the type of work and other factors. For example, in 2022, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that union members made 18% more than nonunion workers, with women, African American, and Hispanic workers seeing even larger differences.

Sen. Mullin shared some concerns about union intimidation I would agree with, but he let his emotions get the better of him and clearly held a personal grudge. I got that the guy was a thug and a bully, but Mullins did ask him a question then wouldn't let him answer. He could have just made a statement and left it at that. He should have been escorted out of the hearing until he cooled off. (Or, maybe they should have let those two go out back and handle it and come back when they were ready act like adults, just kidding)
The time belongs to the Senator, not the thug the commie chairman brought in. Anytime the Senator says "I reclaim my time," the thug is legally required to shut up.

The increases Mullin was talking about from 2020 to 2023 was fair market working when people flat out refused to work for wages floating arou nf federal minimum wage for decades. Nobody had to push a 15 buck an hr minimum wage because they simply stayed home until they employers bucked up. that is the free market and has little to do with unions. Union wages are negotiated.
Feeder drive make 3 times that about .. union pres is right.. get your facts right. Part timers make 35k or more at UPS

I've been a big pro Union supporter as my Dad was, 30yrs at GM & my Mom 10yrs at Ford. I've worked 14yrs under the UAW umbrella myself as a UAW member. I don't recall my my parents ever voting Democrat either, it was always Republicans. I was mostly on the fence depending on the candidate. I voted for Obama for his 2nd term ONLY because Romney trashed the American people like garbage as Biden has been doing now. I was ok with his 1st term. I was waiting 35 or so yrs for Trump to throw his hat in the ring. When he did, I was excited! That's my man! And he didn't didn't disappoint! I'm never voting Dem AGAIN!
Unions suck they encourage laziness they prevent you from negotiating man to man with the guy you work for they don't give any incentive to work more than the next guy. You are made to wait around for some turd to do something that you could just do yourself that would be in the interest of efficiency. The bottom line is this unions are good for factory workers who can be replaced easily by immigrants but when it comes to skilled labor they are counterproductive as they do not allow for any type of elevation ie if you are better at something than someone else but you have only been there 1 year and they have been there 6 that person gets paid more even though you bring in more money for the company and produce better quality work. More often than not union guys sit around like a cubicle q***re 5 hours out of a 10 hour work day not only that but it creates an us vs them mentality when it should be a team situation of ill make you money so I can make money and vice versa
And people think Larry David can run the country? Haha.

Yeah well at least O’Brien had the balls to call out corporations ties to elites at the RNC of all places
To the people who don’t know Sean Obrien I can tell you as a member of local 25 he’s a stand up guy who always puts his members first. And he gets the job done. If you think unions aren’t necessary it’s because you are comfortable in your job and it’s because of unions your job is that way.
Regardless the unions need to be held accountable just like anyone else. The shtick they played for decades thinking they can just yell at people and say they're fighting for workers holds no water when they followed the DNC around in lock step for 20 years. Thousands of people have lost their jobs, manufacturing went overseas, all so they could get theirs and the union bosses refused to negotiate in good faith. I talked with an auto-worker member in 2009 who told me before the auto industry went under the workers would have 30 people on shift with only enough work for 15 or less people. Half would go to the bar next door to drink while the other half would work the shift. They all knew that sooner or later the company would go bankrupt but they weren't allowed to fire anyone because they were union members. What happened since then? Cars keep getting more expensive, workers have been either replaced by robots or the jobs have been outsourced out of the country. It wasn't just because of the pay and benefits, it's the regulations that unions pushed through to stifle competition. This is what got Mullin so upset, was they refuse to acknowledge that they played any part in the regulatory state that not only hurts workers, but consolidates power and hurts innovation.
The union heads and special interests were able to make their money and keep their power though. What do you call it when union leaders, management, and politicians are all working together? That's clearly not in the interest of workers or tax payers.
HR 4444 killed the American jobs introduced by a republican from Texas roll call vote 2/3 of republicans yes 1/3 democrats yes signed into law by G W Bush in 2001. China trade bill-----How do i know Wayne Smith Detroit News Ret. that's how I know.
People doing that instead of finding other jobs also consolidated power.
"What happened since then? Cars keep getting more expensive, workers have been either replaced by robots or the jobs have been outsourced out of the country. "
You know what else happened? C-suite compensation went through the roof.
Dana, set it up!!
That teamster dude is epic
I was Teamsters and UAW member until the jobs went away or seniority prevailed in my area. The constant complaining and effort to not work was mind blowing. The union jobs in my area also allow a small number of people to live like they are the elite while the majority live on a lot less. I started my own contracting business later in life, and it never fails, when quoting work for union people, they want to beat you down so they don't have to pay for any benefits and decent wages you're trying to meet for your workers. Total hypocrisy!!
love how bernie puts that scab in his place
I’m not anti-Union but don’t challenge people who build business. It’s hard work to build something from nothing. Some union guys have become the bullies. It’s wrong PERIOD.
EACH GM car produced $5,500 goes to benefits, retirement? It's getting a bit crazy. And now you know why car manufacturing is going to Mexico. That's not everything Clinton's NAFTA and top management positions are insane. That's a bit to overcome and why Nissan & Honda are in right to work states and people still make great money.

There are "part time" employees making $35k a year. The healthcare benefits, paid time off and earning potential were 2nd to none. Mullin has no clue what he's talking about.

Mullin got too emotional, but to pretend that unions don't involve themselves in nefarious practices is very naive. Btw, I am in a union.
Union or non union, easy to solve, employee ownership. Employees, sit on the board, employees as execs, employees run the company.
Love it. Sanders couldn't control a damned thing. Love how these two sides are so opposed. I agree with Mullin much moreso than O'Brien. However, this is exactly the discussion that needs to be had.
Just look at Detroit and see what unions do to an industry and city.
Unions are for sale... IE political vote IF union benefits them finically regardless if it benefits the community or industry.
Hmmm let’s put on our thinking caps, when did Detroit start to depict…early 90s…hmm what happened then at the same time…ah yes, the BI-PARTISAN NAFTA bill becoming law.
The same NAFTA that exported nearly every manufacturing plant and job to Mexico, China, South America…where labor was cheap because the cost of living in such places wasn’t anywhere close to the current day US.
It’s ok, not many understand these things.
I have good and bad experiences with unions, but if the USPS was run by UPS or FedEx it would be profitable instead of a black hole.
The USPS isn't in existence to be profitable. It is a guaranteed constitutional service to be provided by the government. Not to make money off of the people it serves. Geezus H.
USPS doesn't need to be profitable . It's not a business, it's a public service.
Unions aren’t always bad but the intimidation of non union workers that are getting what they want without a union needs to stop. In my experience if you’re good at what you do you can get what you want in dealing with small business. Unions have to shed the rep of getting paid big wages and benefits for a mediocre job done.
If I NEVER have to hear Bernie's voice again it will be too soon.
Mullin is a true GenX. They don't hurt feelings they hurt you.
Mullin is a non union stooge, he could only win open bid jobs because his labor was cheaper. So he is a damn liar better benefits and salary at a none union company that's bull.

He would have served himself better to say he was wrong and lets talk our differences out over coffee instead.
30 yr union hand, and i can tell you this is exactly what the unions do. They drove up the cost of every job we were involved with. They had top-notch journeymen and had the ability to do the job, but their interest was how much money they could rake in. It would take more time to explain the issues than available now. Its a choice thig so make the choice.
Everyone wants to make money, that’s not a sin. Big employers use their size and reach to drive down wages and benefits, lot of stories lately about flight attendants living out of their cars and qualifying for food stamps. My company has highest labor costs in its industry but still posts healthy profits quarter after quarter. Of course if they could slash our wages and take away our pension and healthcare they would make more profit. That is the fight we have to fight. All for more effective business that makes more profit but don’t make your profit by asking me to do more more more for less less less
@erniepeters1695 That's why I said it's a choice, so make a choice. Pros and cons in everything we do. Stay safe. I hope all is well. God bless you and yours.

Here is the problem. All of the manufacturing jobs have been out sourced and off shored. There is really nothing left to work with in terms of possible union members because those jobs that could benefit from a union are gone now. Unions worked great up until the the early 80's. That is when the manufacturing jobs really started to leave. Keep in mind that unions are a business. Their number 1 goal is to make a profit. More members mean more profit. Their negotiating labor is not free plus at times the the retirement plans are worth it. For example, ABF drivers went from $ 28 an hour to $ 31.5 an hour this year. This does not include any retirement details. That stuff is what the due money is paying for. It is very complicated in terms of what a business can afford since everything now is Global. I remember around 1980 my neighbors with overtime were coming home with more than $ 600 a week, bring home after taxes and dues. That was a living wage from the steel mills around East Chicago back then. I understand the whatever it takes to keep members paying dues to keep the union going. Mullin which is a typical fork in tongue politician was given daddies business from daddy. That is not working for it. It was given to him. Mullin will never mention how the government he is part of signed away all the living wage manufacturing jobs under the bullshit excuse of "free trade". Canada free trade 1988. NAFTA, CAFTA and GATT in 1994. GATT was from the UN starting in 1948. Fast forward to modern times. The government gives billions and billions to companies to continue all manufacturing anywhere but in the states. Can you see a bigger picture yet? The government sold out the people a long time ago. I am sitting in a recliner made in New Albany, Mississippi in 1974. We had jobs back then that paid a living wage. I remember! Any questions?
