politico.com/news/2024/04/21/gavin-newsom-arizona-alabama-abortion-restrictions-00153523
Quick Glance: Newsom Proposes Law to Aid Arizonans in Getting Abortions in California
- California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) announced plans to introduce legislation to assist Arizonans in obtaining abortions in his state following a recent decision by the Arizona Supreme Court allowing a near-total abortion ban from 1864 to take effect.
- The emergency legislation aims to expedite the licenses of Arizona abortion providers to treat patients in California and will be presented this week through the legislature's women's caucus.
- Newsom emphasized the importance of a prompt response to Republican-led abortion restrictions, criticizing the GOP for their stance. His political action committee is funding ads against bills limiting abortion access.
- Newsom intends to campaign on the abortion issue in swing states Arizona and Nevada to support a Democratic win in the presidential election and Senate control, calling President Trump a liar regarding his position on nationwide abortion bans.

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.

- 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.
