WNBA players reach landmark tentative CBA with higher cap and salaries

A formal term sheet is expected within days, followed by player ratification and Board of Governors approval; the plan is to keep the 2026 season on schedule.

American Airlines Flight Attendants Demand Leadership Change After No-Confidence Vote

The Association of Professional Flight Attendants unanimously passed a no-confidence vote in American Airlines CEO Robert Isom, the first such vote in the airline’s history, citing a “downward spiral” of mounting losses and operational failures that have left frontline workers sleeping on airport floors. The union says Isom’s leadership and a failed corporate strategy have harmed customers and profits and demands accountability and a leadership change, while American has offered only statements from Isom about its 2026 plan; Isom has led the airline since March 2022.

California GOP Gains Ground as Democrat Loses Senate Seat

California State Senator Josh Newman, a Democrat, conceded his seat to Republican Steven Choi after a contentious election influenced by a powerful labor union, AFSCME 3299, which opposed Newman for not supporting a bill to protect UC worker rights. Despite significant Democratic spending to retain the seat, redistricting and union opposition contributed to Newman's defeat. This marks the second time Newman has lost his seat due to interest group opposition, having been recalled in 2018 over a gas tax vote.

Portland's New Seasons Workers Plan Pre-Thanksgiving Strike

Workers at 11 unionized New Seasons Market locations in Portland plan a one-day strike before Thanksgiving, citing unfair labor practices and stalled contract negotiations over wages and benefits. The New Seasons Labor Union, representing over 1,100 grocery workers, accuses the company of bad faith bargaining. New Seasons aims to keep stores open during the strike, offering double-pay to staff willing to work. The strike follows a previous warning strike and ongoing efforts to secure a first contract since unionization began in 2022.

"Disneyland Character Performers Seek Union Election Approval"

Disneyland performers, including parade performers, character actors, and support staff, have filed a petition to form a labor union called "Magic United" in order to address concerns such as injuries from costumes, erratic scheduling, and a lack of clear communication from management. The workers, who make up more than two-thirds of roughly 1,700 eligible workers, seek an election through the National Labor Relations Board and have asked The Walt Disney Co. to recognize the union. The effort comes after similar unionization of theatrical performers at Disney's Florida theme parks and is part of a broader trend of growing public support for unionization in the United States.

"Senate Confirms First Openly LGBTQ+ Judge to 4th Circuit Court of Appeals"

The U.S. Senate confirmed Nicole Berner, the general counsel for the Service Employees International Union, as the first openly LGBTQ judge on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Her confirmation aligns with President Biden's commitment to diversify the federal judiciary, with Berner becoming the 30th woman and 11th openly LGBTQ judge appointed under his administration. Republicans opposed her nomination due to her advocacy against right-to-work laws and liberal causes, but she ultimately secured the position, furthering the push for more pro-union labor lawyers in the judiciary.

"Dartmouth Men's Basketball Team Votes to Unionize, Paving the Way for College Athlete Labor Unions"

The Dartmouth College men's basketball team voted 13-2 to become the first labor union for college athletes, potentially challenging the NCAA's model. The players sought unionization due to financial challenges despite their full-time commitment to the team. The National Labor Relations Board paved the way for the union vote, and the university has five days to file an objection. Experts anticipate other college athletes, particularly within the Ivy League, to petition for unionization following this historic vote.

"Germany Braces for Travel Chaos as Strikes Disrupt Flights and Trains"

Lufthansa warns that the two-day strike by ground crews in Germany will affect over 200,000 passengers, as labor union Verdi calls for the walkout due to failed negotiations over pay and working conditions. The strike is part of a series of labor actions in the country's transport industry, with Lufthansa offering to negotiate if the strike is called off. The union demands a 12.5% salary increase and an extra €3,000 inflation bonus for ground staff, with the next meeting scheduled for March 13 and 14. Lufthansa accuses the union of seeking escalation rather than a solution and plans to implement a special flight plan during the strike.

"Google and YouTube Music Layoffs: Workers Caught Off Guard"

Google contractor Cognizant in Austin, Texas, cut the contract of a team of more than 40 moderators responsible for approving music content for YouTube Music after they went on strike in February last year, demanding changes to Google’s return-to-work policy. The Alphabet Workers Union-CWA, representing the contractors, claims that many workers hired to work remotely are paid as little as $19 an hour, and going to the office would be too expensive. The National Labor Relations Board ruled that Google can be considered a partial employer for unionized contractors, and the company can appeal to federal court.
