Daily Herald Journalists Vote Overwhelmingly to Form Union

Daily Herald Journalists Vote Overwhelmingly to Form Union

Journalists at the Daily Herald in Arlington Heights, IL, have voted 15-0 to form the Daily Herald News Guild. This secret ballot election, conducted via U.S. mail, followed the refusal of newspaper owner Alden Global Capital/Tribune Publishing to voluntarily recognize the union. All 20 union-eligible journalists had previously signed cards in support of organizing in late August. The Guild is expected to be officially certified within a week of the vote tally. This move comes after years of financial challenges at the suburban newspaper, including decades of layoffs and salary reductions. Employees have experienced wage reductions of at least 15% and a reduced work week of 36.5 hours over the last decade. During the same period, there were eight rounds of buyouts and/or combination buyouts and layoffs, culminating in the dismissal of 12 Daily Herald employees on August 12 under the new corporate ownership.

Congressman Kean and Colleagues Introduce 'Fight Against Fentanyl Act' to Combat Opioid Crisis

Congressman Kean and Colleagues Introduce 'Fight Against Fentanyl Act' to Combat Opioid Crisis

Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. (NJ-07), alongside Congressmen Jeff Van Drew (NJ-02), Andrew Garbarino (NY-02), and Mike Lawler (NY-17), has introduced the 'Fight Against Fentanyl Act.' This legislation aims to amend the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program, allowing its funds to be used by law enforcement agencies for the purchase of fentanyl testing kits and opioid reversal agents. The Byrne JAG program is a primary source of federal funding for state and local police jurisdictions. Congressman Kean emphasized the critical need for first responders to have access to these tools to prevent overdoses and deaths caused by fentanyl. This initiative builds on Congressman Kean's previous efforts, including co-introducing the 'American Cooperation with Our Neighbors Act' to address illicit fentanyl trafficking with Mexico and supporting the 'HALT Fentanyl Act' which reclassified fentanyl-related substances as a Schedule I drug.

EPA Union Sues Management Over Contract Termination Following President Trump's Executive Orders

EPA Union Sues Management Over Contract Termination Following President Trump's Executive Orders

The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) Council 238, representing approximately 8,000 workers at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has filed a lawsuit against EPA management. The union alleges that the EPA unlawfully terminated its collective bargaining agreement (CBA) in August 2025, following President Trump’s 2025 executive orders that aimed to ban collective bargaining on national security grounds. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for Massachusetts, claims that the EPA violated its members' First Amendment rights and failed to comply with the Administrative Procedure Act's requirement for reasoned decision-making. The union further accuses the agency of waiting to discipline employees who criticized EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin until after the CBA was terminated, thereby circumventing protections related to scientific integrity and disciplinary procedures.
