For only the second time in a quarter century, a majority of Republicans — 52% — approve of labor unions , according to a new Gallup poll .

AI:Federal labor data exposes a massive explosion in H-1B visa filings across eight suburban Texas districts between fiscal years 2019 and 2025, with Representative Keith Self’s Third Congressional District leading the charge through a staggering 242 percent increase.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani threw his weight behind legislation that would force Amazon and other companies to directly employ their delivery workers, a move the retailer warns could push thousands of jobs out of the city and raise costs for every household.

The bill, known formally as Intro 518, would bar companies from subcontracting core warehouse and delivery work at last-mile facilities and require workers to be…Open
