Volkswagen workers vote overwhelmingly to join the UAW, giving the union a groundbreaking win

cnn.com/2024/04/19/business/volkswagen-uaw-vote/

Quick Glance: UAW Secures Historic Victory as Volkswagen Workers in Tennessee Vote for Union Representation

Volkswagen workers in Chattanooga, Tennessee, made history by voting to join the United Auto Workers, marking the first auto factory in the South since the 1940s to unionize.

Nearly three-quarters of 3,613 workers voted yes in a three-day election with high turnout, granting the union a significant first win in its efforts to organize factories of a dozen automakers in the South.

The organizing effort concludes a strong year for the U.S. labor movement, obtaining record wage increases across various industries through strikes and tough negotiations.

The UAW, led by President Shawn Fain, achieved notable successes in negotiations with Detroit automakers last fall, securing substantial raises and benefits through a contentious strike.

Quick Glance: RFK Jr.'s Environmental Colleagues Urge Him to End Presidential Bid

Nearly 50 leaders and activists who worked with Mr. Kennedy at an environmental nonprofit group will run ads calling on him to “Honor our planet, drop out.”

As an independent candidate for the White House, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., claims he would be the “best environment president in American history,” drawing on his past as a crusading lawyer who went after polluters in New York.

But dozens of Mr. Kennedy’s former colleagues at the Natural Resources Defense Council are calling on him to withdraw from the race, in full-page advertisements sponsored by the group’s political arm that are expected to appear in newspapers in six swing states on Sunday.

Separately, a dozen other national environmental organizations have issued an open letter calling Mr. Kennedy “ a “dangerous conspiracy theorist and a science denier” who promotes “toxic beliefs” on vaccines and on climate change.

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial

A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.
