NPR reports that journalists from The Chicago Tribune are preparing to organize. The paper has, for decades, been an outspoken opponent of unionizing efforts.

Tesla workers filed suit claiming racial bias and abuse at one of the company’s electric car manufacturing facilities, reports Bloomberg. Because the plaintiffs are contract workers, they are not bound by a mandatory arbitration provision like most Tesla employees. The plaintiffs allege they were subject to near-constant verbal harassment as well as derogatory hand-drawn photos posted around the facility. A federal trial is scheduled to start in 2019.
