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.

Alabama parole board would be forced to consider an inmate’s health under new bill
al.com/news/2024/04/alabama-parole-board-would-be-forced-to-consider-an-inmates-health-under-new-bill.html
Quick Glance: Alabama Parole Board to Factor Inmate Health in Decisions
- A divided House Judiciary Committee approved legislation allowing the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles to consider an applicant’s medical condition when reviewing a parole application.
- The modified bill states that individuals denied parole who have been convicted of a nonviolent offense and spent at least 20 years in prison can apply for parole five years after denial.
- The legislation mandates that the Parole Board must consider a person’s age and health status when deciding on parole. Individuals with a 'serious chronic health condition' also have the right to appeal the Board’s decision within 28 days.
- Criminal justice reform advocates view the bill's passage through committee as a rare bright spot in a challenging session for their proposals, with many pieces of legislation facing delays or denials.
