Per the Albany Times-Union, “NY State Public Employees Federation workers say 'enough' to 'toxic' work environments.” The union, representing 50,000 employees across all state agencies, held a rally on Thursday at the Empire State Plaza to bring attention to alleged workplace bullying. It was the first time they brought the issue into the public light, as workers say instances of abuse from supervisors have only gotten worse.

And the UAW expanded its strike Friday, walking out of 38 GM and Stellantis parts distribution centers in 20 states. Ford was spared additional strikes because the company has met some of the union’s demands during negotiations over the past week, said UAW President Shawn Fain.
