Protect Workers from Extreme Heat

by the AFL-CIO Cities coast to coast are breaking all-time heat records this July, as the extreme heat continues.

By Dani J. Farrell [Excerpts] https://www.blackandpink.org/montana-supreme-court-blocks-anti-trans-id-restrictions/ This month, the Montana Supreme Court upheld protections for transgender people seeking accurate identity documents, blocking the state from enforcing policies that prevented trans people from updating gender markers on birth certificates and other forms of identification.

The City of Vernon [...]

Turkish naval strategist warns US blockade risks global economic collapse

Washington’s war on Iran has exposed the limits of US power, accelerated the decline of the petrodollar system, and pushed the world toward a systemic rupture. https://thecradle.co/articles/turkish-naval-strategist-warns-us-blockade-risks-global-economic-collapse Last year, retired Rear Admiral Cem Gurdeniz warned The Cradle that NATO had become a hollow alliance and that Turkiye's future lay in a sovereign Eurasian alignment.

Amazon tracks employees’ every move — unless they need an ambulance

Amazon warehouse workers are injured at more than twice the rate of employees at other warehouses. Over 40% have been hurt on the job -- rising to 50% for those who've been there five or more years. Why would the world's largest retailer find itself unable to compete for workplace safety with companies that are far less well-resourced? Unfortunately, these injuries are not unforeseeable accidents. They're the inevitable result of a business [...]
