TikTok ban puts jobs of thousands of US workers in jeopardy, California senator warns

politico.com/news/2024/04/24/tiktok-ban-california-butler-00154258

Quick Glance: What Lies Ahead for TikTok in the US?

The US Senate has unanimously approved a bill that could potentially lead to the banning of TikTok within nine months, unless its Chinese owner, ByteDance, withdraws from the video-sharing app due to concerns about national security threats.

President Joe Biden has confirmed his intention to sign the legislation on Wednesday.

ByteDance acquired the well-known karaoke app Musical.ly and rebranded it as TikTok back in 2017. It has become one of the fastest-growing applications in the United States, boasting 150 million monthly subscribers.

Quick Glance: Disneyland performers seek unionization

Performers who assist in bringing Disney's popular characters to life in the Southern California theme parks filed a petition on Wednesday to form a labor union.

The workers, including parade performers, character actors, and support staff at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, requested The Walt Disney Co. to recognize the union they are calling "Magic United."

A significant portion of the over 35,000 workers at the Disneyland Resort, which includes the theme parks, are already unionized. Parade and character workers announced their plans to unionize in February under the Actors' Equity Association.

Union membership in the U.S. has been declining for decades, but organizations have seen growing public support in recent years. The NLRB, which protects workers' rights, reported over 2,500 filings for union representation in the 2023 fiscal year, the highest number in eight years.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-17/there-s-at-least-one-job-seeker-per-opening-in-five-us-states

Quick Glance: Outlook on Labor Markets in California, New Jersey, and Connecticut

There’s now at least one unemployed job seeker for every vacancy in five US states, indicating a loosening of the labor market in parts of the country.

Connecticut joined California, Nevada, New Jersey, and Washington in the list of states where the ratio of jobless people per opening is one or more. Meanwhile, Arizona and New York are nearing parity with a rate of 0.9, according to February data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The ratio of one or more in some states suggests a dynamic in the labor market being monitored by Federal Reserve officials for potential interest rate adjustments. This trend aligns with a gradual cooling and lower inflation.

Nationally, the job market remains challenging, with job openings outnumbering unemployed individuals. The ongoing rate of 0.7 over 10 months implies the potential for every unemployed worker to find at least one available position.

detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/2024/04/20/uaw-volkswagen-organizing-win-chattanooga-future/73399849007/

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.

Nearly three-quarters of 3,613 workers voted yes in a three-day election with high turnout, granting the union a significant first win in its efforts to organize factories of a dozen automakers in the South.

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.

Quick Glance: Sibling Fatally Hit by Car at Birthday Party

A young brother and sister died, and several people were injured, some seriously, when a vehicle driven by a suspected drunken driver crashed into a young child's birthday party at a boat club in Berlin Township, Michigan, on Saturday.

An 8-year-old girl and her 5-year-old brother died in the crash, as a 66-year-old woman drove about 25 feet into the building, according to Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough.

Three children and six adults were taken to hospitals with life-threatening injuries, while others received first aid on site and some were transported by private vehicles.

The driver was taken into custody and is suspected of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol causing death. Further charges may be pending as the investigation continues.
