Indiana lawmakers are once again trying to weaken child labor laws: Bill sponsored by business owner would enable employers to hide child labor violations Coordinated, industry-backed campaigns to weaken child labor protections continue to target state legislatures in 2026. Yesterday, the Indiana Senate passed a bill to completely eliminate requirements...

Indiana lawmakers passed a bill eliminating requirements for businesses to document the employment of child workers.

Experts warn it could make it easier to hide child labor violations. Weakening protections for young workers isn’t progress—it’s a huge step backward. https://seiu.co/4r9EGYB

When working people have the power to organize, they gain more than better wages -- they gain a voice in the decisions that shape their lives and communities. Building that power doesn't just change the economy. It changes who gets to have a say.

LaborLab's work is ultimately about more than union density --it's about restoring agency and self-determination to working people and their communities. Higher union density doesn't just raise wages; it shifts power.

Treasury Department terminates union contracts for IRS and Bureau of the Fiscal Service workers The Treasury Department says it has ended its collective bargaining agreement with unionized workers employed at the Internal Revenue Service.

Trump just stripped yet more federal workers of collective bargaining rights, at the IRS no less. This administration is every oligarch's wet dream.

When a company launches a union-busting campaign, they hire attorneys, consultants, develop and distribute materials, and establish in-house teams at the expense of worker productivity and well-being.

The cost for busting a union is high, but greed has no shame.

NLRB General Counsel Issues Case Handling Guidance Today, NLRB General Counsel Crystal S. Carey issued GC Memorandum 26-03.   The memorandum instructs the Regional Offices to focus their efforts on investigating priority cases and protecting the right of free association. “As we move forward with this new guidance, my office is committed to providing clear and actionable direction for Regional offices to judiciously securing the rights of all American workers,” said General Counsel Carey.

NLRB General Counsel sent a memo to staff stating that the NLRB should not go after employers simply because their labor policies are illegal, as long as they are not actually enforced.

So it's fine to threaten workers, as long as you don't carry out the threats.
