Detroit, MI – After months of negotiations, over 900 UAW members in Orlando, FL (Local 788) and Denver, CO (Local 766) have walked out on strike at Lockheed Martin, after the company committed multiple unfair labor practices and refused to present a fair economic proposal that meets the membership’s needs. The strike begins during a time of record taxpayer-funded profits for the U.S. government’s largest defense contractor. Lockheed Martin made $24 billion in profit and paid its CEO $66 million over the last three years. Profits were up the first quarter of 2025, with Lockheed taking in another $1.7 billion.

Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi is free on bail after a federal judge in Vermont ordered his release. It’s the first order mandating the release of a student detained by the Trump administration. The New York Times called his release “a defeat” for the administration’s “widening crackdown against student protesters.” “The two weeks of detention so far demonstrate great harm to a person who has been charged with no crime,” said Judge Geoffrey Crawford at an April 30 hearing. “Mr. Mahdawi, I will order you released.” Crawford also compared Trump’s crackdown to the Red Scare and said that period of history wasn’t one that people should be proud of.

Are hospital staff now staging fake meetings to help ICE trap their employees? That seems to be what happened recently in Minnesota. Aditya Wahyu Harsano’s case highlights how hospital officials do not care about their patients or staff, and underscores the need for healthcare workers to fight back against these attacks. Harsono, a 33-year-old Indonesian supply chain manager at a Minnesota hospital, is a father to an eight-month-old child with special needs who was recently arrested by ICE in his former workplace Avera Hospital in Marshal, MN.

Protests against the pro-austerity and pro-militarization plans of Belgium’s Arizona coalition government continue. On Sunday, April 27, thousands of people demonstrated in Brussels, demanding an end to policies that would severely impact workers’ pensions and incomes, and calling for the introduction of a real millionaire’s tax and a politics of peace. “The parties in government want everyone to work longer for less pension, particularly by introducing a malus or weakening pension indexation,” said Raoul Hedebouw, leader of the Workers’ Party of Belgium (PTB-PVDA), during Sunday’s protest.

Health And Safety Is On The Chopping Block

April 29, 2025 Micah Niemeier-Walsh, Labor Notes. Resist! Labor Movement, NIOSH, OSHA, Trump Administration, Worker Rights, Workplace Safety

The Trump Administration attacked the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) on April 1, cutting more than 90 percent of the agency’s workforce, including me. NIOSH is the backbone of worker safety. It’s the small agency you’ve never heard of that has probably saved your life. The agency conducts vital research—testing respirators, certifying protective equipment, investigating health hazards, and providing crucial data to workers and unions. This is not just a budget cut. It is a direct, calculated assault on the working class. Today is Workers' Memorial Day, the day when we honor the workers who die every year from workplace injuries and illnesses.

On April 24, thousands of Panamanians took to the streets to protest the recent approval of the pension reform in Panama promoted by the neoliberal government of José Raúl Mulino. Law 462 has been the source of a lot of controversy in the Central American country because, according to several unions, it will reduce retirement pensions compared to the previous system.
