Reports have emerged that the DNC is planning to incorporate a provision into its contracts barring consulting firms it retains from helping suppress organizing activities or resist any measure “opposed by the labor movement.” The news comes a few weeks after various outlets exposed that Amazon had hired a major firm aligned with the Democratic Party to spearhead its obscenely expensive — and ultimately unsuccessful — campaign to defeat the union efforts at its Staten Island facility.

A tentative agreement was announced on Tuesday between the union representing thousands of residential doormen in New York City and the real estate firms that employ them. The agreement will provide significant wage increases and bonuses to the doormen, who essentially serve as private security and personal assistants at luxurious apartment complexes across the city. If ratified, the deal will avert a strike that was set to begin this week.  

Lastly, in organizing news, the efforts to unionize Apple the most valuable company in the world, are accelerating, as employees at four of the company’s stores in New York City — including its flagship location in Grand Central Terminal — have commenced organizing drives.
