JUSTTHENEWS (The Center Square Staff) - California government workers to vote on potential strike

Union says state failed to bargain fairly over priorities that state workers wanted to highlight during contract negotiations.

AXIOS (Andrew Pantazi) - A record 47% want stronger unions. Labor's challenge is turning support into power.

For only the second time in a quarter century, a majority of Republicans — 52% — approve of labor unions , according to a new Gallup poll . Why it matters: Despite Americans' rising approval , union membership remains near a modern low. Congress has repeatedly blocked labor's biggest priorities, and House Republicans are now investigating unions, even as their own voters approve of them. - Republicans' warmer feelings toward unions don't translate into wanting them to wield more power: 49% of Republicans want unions to have less influence, compared with just 19% who want them to have more. Data: Gallup Poll Social Series; Chart: Andrew Pantazi/Axios By the numbers: Overall, 71% of Americans approved of unions, tying the 2022 level.…

The high court announced it will consider arguments in seven cases during the month of November as justices prepare to begin the upcoming judicial term.

AI:The Supreme Court has signaled a massive judicial showdown for November by scheduling seven cases that strike at the heart of American social and economic stability. Among the most critical is a battle over migrant labor, a development that arrives amidst an ongoing national struggle against radical leftist attempts to use legal loopholes to bypass immigration enforcement and undermine domestic worker protections. As the high court prepares to tackle these issues alongside matters regarding discrimination, it remains the final bulwark against the judicial activism and bureaucratic overreach that have characterized so many recent legal battles involving executive authority and constitutional boundaries. This upcoming term will determine…Open

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. This surge threatens to drive down wages and steal opportunities from hardworking American citizens as corporate interests exploit loophole-heavy immigration channels.

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. Mamdani endorsed the Delivery Protection Act on Monday, calling it "common-sense regulation that protects delivery workers, safeguards the communities where these facilities operate and ensures that the corporations benefiting from workers' labor are responsible for the consequences of their business practices." 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
