After the wave of minimum wage increases across the country, business groups vehemently oppose union carve-outs from the minimum wage floors. Some unions have sought exemptions from the wage mandates if they instead have a collective bargaining agreement. According to the Wall Street Journal, “labor groups often seek the exemptions because they say they provide the flexibility to negotiate better benefits for all union members.”

Amidst the buzz around both harsh working conditions at Amazon and kinder workplaces at big corporations, the New York Times’ Noam Scheiber writes that brutal competition remains the norm at elite companies. Fiercely competitive environments permeate law and consulting firms, investment banks, and tech companies. According to Scheiber, “even the steps that many tech companies take to make the workplace more engaging often result in employees spending more time consumed by their work.” In the future, even the cutthroat companies likely cannot afford to pay top dollar to their most successful employees, while training and then culling out the “weaker” competition.

Rep. Tom Brinkman plans to introduction a right-to-work bill in Ohio, following similar legislation in Michigan and Wisconsin, reports Watchdog.org. Although Gov.

Although college teams are unlikely to unionize in the near future, the decision left open whether individual players meet the Board’s test for employee status.

The NLRB was not so favorable to Pacific Lutheran University, which had sought a religious exemption from federal labor law. A Washington state regional official ruled that the university had “not met its burden of demonstrating that any of its faculty are held out as performing specific religious functions.” According to Politico, this is a big win for SEIU.

Also out west, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders courted Nevada labor unions for an endorsement. The Culinary Workers Union Local 226, the most powerful union in the state, is waiting to endorse either candidate until they reveal their stands on repealing the tax on expensive insurance plans, passed as part of the Affordable Care Act. Some union leaders expressed concern to the Washington Post over Sanders’ viability as a presidential candidate, but that didn’t dissuade National Nurses United from making the first Sanders endorsement.

A picture may be worth a million dollars. NBC reports that the Humans of New York photographer left his perch to focus on Pakistan for a month.
