Indianapolis, IN – Drivers for uniform and workplace-supply company Vestis walked off the job at 2 a.m. Monday, July 13, launching an unfair labor practice strike organized by Teamsters Local 135.

The union says the strike is about accountability. Local 135 alleges Vestis threatened workers for engaging in protected concerted activity, a right guaranteed under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).

Minneapolis, MN – On August 19, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld orders from a lower court blocking the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) from proceeding in its complaint against Elon Musk. The NLRB said eight workers’ legal rights were violated when they were fired from Musk’s SpaceX for sharing an open letter criticizing his behavior.
