The entire PUP newsroom was working late on this breaking story about the @NLRB filing a federal injunction that could put Pittsburgh news strikers back to work. The workers hold a North Shore Drive news conference at 2 p.m. today: https://t.co/2VSXLNvq3X
Breaking: The @NLRB files in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania for an injunction that would put striking Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers back to work and reimburse some for health care costs: https://t.co/2VSXLNvq3X
The FTC just banned noncompete agreements.
This is a big deal.
Noncompetes trap workers in their jobs and prevent them from using their skills to earn higher pay.
It's estimated that the ban could increase wages by $300 billion a year and impact nearly 30 million Americans.
FTC announces special Open Commission Meeting on rule to ban #noncompetes. Meeting to be held virtually on Tuesday, April 23, 2024, at 2pm ET: https://t.co/cOAcrdhCKV /1
The UAW has won in a landslide at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga: 2,628 to 985. This is the first plant-wide union at a foreign-owned automaker in the South, after years of failed attempts. https://t.co/pLl7L6FycY
I'VE SEEN ENOUGH
with roughly 50% of all possible votes in, UAW holds an insurmountable lead which would either require a massive tallying error or statistically improbable remaining vote share to flip.
Vw workers voted #UnionYes to join @UAW.
Scoop: The NLRB plans to seek an injunction in federal court against the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette over labor law violations. Petition likely to be filed in coming days.
Workers at the newspaper have been on strike for 18 months.

We are thrilled that the NLRB announced it’s seeking an injunction against the @postgazette. The PG could've avoided this by simply agreeing to dignified terms with us & our striking union siblings @cwaunion & PPPWU at any point in the last 18 months.. https://t.co/seqtrZTzse
Tuesday, @MSHA_DOL will release its final regulation on silica dust in coal and other mines. Listen to my conversation w/@ayesharascoe for the Sunday Story podcast to hear why it took 50 years to do this, while thousands of coal miners were sick and dying. https://t.co/zoA7edLZ1W
14 yrs ago today. 29 coal miners killed at Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch Mine in WV. Inadequate ventilation. Excessive coal dust. Production over safety. Tepid federal regulation. NPR spent a year investigating.
