Union wins at New York farms raise hopes for once-powerful UFW
Five hundred farmworkers have unionized โ the biggest success in years for the union co-founded by Cesar Chavez
The United Farm Workers have quietly been winning big in New York.
UFW has unionized 500 workers at 5 different locations, their first wins in the Northeast.

He is dangerous, dishonest & wrong about everything, and anyone covering or sharing info about him should be QUITE CLEAR about that

A judge has ruled that the WWE must face an antitrust lawsuit that claims the organization monopolizes the pro-wrestling industry.

The California Senate has approved a bill to raise the minimum wage for all workers in health care facilities to $25/hr.
The law would cover all workers at these facilities, regardless of employer. That means nurses, janitors, food service, housekeeping, and more.
It now goes to the Assembly.
