New York City newsboys, many so poor that they were sleeping in the streets, begin a two-week strike. Several rallies drew more than 5,000 newsboys, complete with charismatic speeches by strike leader Kid Blink, who was blind in one eye. The boys had to pay publishers up front for the newspapers; they were successful in forcing the publishers to buy back unsold papers.

UAW Files Objections Against Mercedes Benz
Updated On: May 24, 2024
May 24, 2024 | LEGAL | As expected, following the United Auto Workers’ (UAW) surprising defeat last week at Mercedes Benz in Alabama, where 56% of Mercedes’ workers voted against unionizing, the UAW has filed objections to the election, accusing Mercedes management of “wanton lawlessness.” In its objection filing [attached to story], in addition to listing out more than a dozen allegations of wrongdoing, the UAW references the NLRB’s new Cemex standard, which allows the NLRB to force an employer to bargain with a union, even if a majority of employees vote against unionization. However, the UAW also refers to the NLRB setting an election aside and ordering a new election. Is it up to the UAW, or up to the NLRB? Labor Union News
