Truthout -  In a major step forward for the labor movement, Michigan Democrats’ repeal of the state’s decade-old anti-union “right-to-work” law went into effect on Tuesday, making the state the first to overturn the law in nearly six decades. Last March, the Democratically-controlled Michigan legislature passed the bill to toss the law aimed at hurting labor unions by allowing workers to opt out of union dues while still reaping benefits of unionization, costing unions resources and money. “Right-to-work” was originally established in Michigan in 2012, with the backing of right-wing dark money groups, who also lobbied against the bill last year.

CNN - Thousands of rideshare drivers in the US and UK are planning to strike today in disputes over pay and working conditions. The campaign group Justice for App Workers previously said in a blog post that drivers for Uber and Lyft, as well as delivery drivers for DoorDash, were "sick of working 80 hours/week just to make ends meet." The group, which says it represents 130,000 drivers and delivery workers across the East Coast and Midwest, wrote that its members planned to stop giving rides to and from all airports in 10 cities, including Chicago and Miami, for two hours today. In the UK, another campaign group said that more than 3,000 food delivery drivers are expected to strike for five hours.
