C. Jarrett Dieterle | 5.18.2024 6:00 AM Politics LABOR BOARD GOES AFTER AMAZON CEO FOR SUGGESTING WORKERS MIGHT BE 'BETTER OFF' WITHOUT UNIONS The First Amendment applies even to the CEOs of successful companies, but the NLRB seems to disagree. Eric Boehm | 5.9.2024 11:45 AM Labor Unions NO, UNIONS AREN'T HAVING A RESURGENCE—AND THAT'S GOOD FOR WORKERS Private unions have every right to exist, but that doesn't mean they're actually beneficial on net.

Peter Suderman | 2.13.2024 4:37 PM Economics THE BANKRUPTCY OF BIDENOMICS Biden's economic policies gave us three years of excessive, wasteful, and poorly targeted federal spending. Peter Suderman | 2.4.2024 6:00 AM Argentina JAVIER MILEI VS. BIG LABOR Milei's swift action intended to transform Argentina's floundering economy provoked the country's biggest labor union to call tens of thousands to protest in Buenos Aires against his libertarian agenda. Zach Weissmueller | 1.30.2024 1:30 PM Government Waste CALIFORNIA STOPPED SAN FRANCISCO'S $1.7 MILLION TOILET. THE CITY CAN'T BUILD SOMETHING CHEAPER. "Why isn't there a toilet here?

The good news: Regulators have exercised unusual restraint. John Stossel | 12.20.2023 11:40 AM Electric cars AUTOMAKERS RETHINK E.V. INVESTMENTS AS HIGHER LABOR COSTS HIT President Joe Biden's support for the United Auto Workers might have harmed his push for a faster transition to electric vehicles. Eric Boehm | 11.30.2023 1:00 PM Housing Policy PROPOSED L.A. ORDINANCE WOULD REQUIRE AIRBNB HOSTS TO GET POLICE PERMISSION TO OPERATE The regulation is part of a suite of new restrictions on hotels sought by the local hotel workers union. Christian Britschgi | 11.30.2023 10:40 AM Labor Unions BRICKBAT: DON'T CARRY ON Charles Oliver | 11.21.2023 4:00 AM School Choice TEACHERS UNION HEAD MYSTIFIED BY INCREASE IN HOMESCHOOLING American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten misses a pretty big reason why families are leaving traditional public schools. Mary Katharine Ham | 11.16.2023 4:56 PM Regulation NEW LABOR RULES WILL SCREW OVER YOUR LOCAL MCDONALDS A new joint employer rule from the NLRB threatens to fundamentally change the business relationship between a franchise and its parent company. C. Jarrett Dieterle | 11.15.2023 6:30 AM Ballot Initiatives MAINE VOTERS WILL DECIDE ON BERNIE SANDERS-BACKED UTILITY PLAN A plan to have the state take control of Maine's two private electric utility firms has divided the political left. Eric Boehm | 11.6.2023 10:20 AM Airlines LAWMAKERS AND UNIONS DEFEND BURDENSOME AIRLINE REGULATIONS WITH BOGUS STATISTICS The world's largest union of pilots says this requirement is necessary for safety and not unduly burdensome, but its data are misleadingly cherry-picked.

Liz Wolfe | 10.4.2023 9:30 AM Labor Unions A RAISE FOR AUTO WORKERS MAY IMPERIL BIDEN'S ELECTRIC VEHICLE AMBITIONS The president voiced support for the union's goals on the picket line but companies are already struggling to build fuel-efficient cars that Biden wants to prioritize.

Liz Wolfe | 9.29.2023 9:32 AM Labor Unions BIDEN IS PANDERING TO THE 1 PERCENT: UNION MANUFACTURING WORKERS Less than 1 percent of American workers are union members in manufacturing jobs.

Plus: A listener asks whether younger generations are capable of passing reforms to entitlement spending. Matt Welch, Katherine Mangu-Ward, Nick Gillespie, and Peter Suderman | 9.25.2023 4:10 PM Artificial Intelligence WIN FOR WRITERS GUILD, LOSS FOR AI Plus: IRS insanity, robocop photo ops, and more...
