Quick Glance: US implements ban on worker 'competition agreements' with business groups filing lawsuits
- The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has approved a framework to eliminate agreements often signed by employees to refrain from joining their employers' competitors or establishing rival businesses.

- Performers who assist in bringing Disney's popular characters to life in the Southern California theme parks filed a petition on Wednesday to form a labor union.

- A significant portion of the over 35,000 workers at the Disneyland Resort, which includes the theme parks, are already unionized. Parade and character workers announced their plans to unionize in February under the Actors' Equity Association.
- Union membership in the U.S. has been declining for decades, but organizations have seen growing public support in recent years. The NLRB, which protects workers' rights, reported over 2,500 filings for union representation in the 2023 fiscal year, the highest number in eight years.

United States to reimpose sanctions on Venezuelan oil over unfair elections - UPI.com
upi.com/Top_News/US/2024/04/17/Maduro-Venezuela-Biden-oil-sanctions/8281713386220/
Quick Glance: US to Reinstate Sanctions on Venezuela’s Oil and Gas Sector
- The United States will reimpose sanctions on Venezuela’s oil and gas sector due to the Maduro government's failure to allow 'an inclusive and competitive election' to take place.
- The US government decided not to renew the temporary authorization (General License 44) that allowed transactions with Venezuela's national oil and gas sector without fear of sanctions, citing the Maduro government's failure to uphold key areas of the 'Barbados Agreement.'
- While the impact of revoking the authorization could not be quantified, another authorization from 2022 allowing the oil company Chevron to resume limited resource extraction operations in Venezuela will remain in place.
- Despite reinstating sanctions, a US official emphasized that this should not be seen as a final decision on Venezuela's electoral capabilities, and efforts to support a better future for the country will continue.
