California successfully negotiated a historic deal allowing ride-hailing drivers to unionize and reducing insurance mandates, avoiding costly ballot measures and court battles, though challenges remain in implementation and potential legal scrutiny.
United Auto Workers (UAW) members at General Motors (GM) are on the verge of rejecting a tentative union deal that ended a six-week labor strike against the automaker. Several major GM plants have already voted against the pact, representing 40% of GM's union employees. The UAW and GM have not commented on the voting results. If the deal is voted down, the UAW will need to decide whether to reinitiate strikes, reopen negotiations, or both. The deal, which included wage increases and other benefits, has faced criticism from UAW members for not meeting their expectations. A rejection at GM would be a setback for UAW President Shawn Fain.
UPS workers have the potential to earn up to $170,000 in annual pay and benefits in five years due to a new union deal, which has sparked backlash from some tech workers who feel their own contributions are undervalued. However, compared to Congress members who make a minimum of $174,000 annually and work only about 155 days a year, the resentment may be misplaced. The article suggests that tech workers seeking well-paying jobs with less work should consider running for office instead of complaining anonymously on message boards.
Unions representing service workers at Walt Disney World have reached a tentative deal with the company that would raise the starting minimum wage from $15 to $18 an hour by year-end. The agreement covers around 45,000 service workers at the Disney theme park resort outside Orlando. Workers could see their hourly wages rise between $5.50 and $8.60 by the end of the five-year contract if it's approved, union leaders said. The contract proposal comes at a precarious time for Disney World, as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the GOP-controlled Florida Legislature recently passed legislation giving the Republican governor the power to appoint the governing board of the district that oversees government services for the resort.
