Oakland, CA On August 8, the California Court of Appeal denied Tesla’s motion to dismiss a Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) lawsuit brought by former Tesla employees. At its simplest, Sharonda Taylor v. Tesla, Inc. is about the workers’ struggle to access their own wage and hour records.

Santa Clara, CA Despite studies over the past decade determining that formaldehyde and other toxic chemicals in hair relaxers are linked to reproductive-health disorders, and despite consumers concerns since the late 2000s, and advocacy groups petitioning the FDA since at least 2011 to ban hair products with formaldehyde, the agency still hasn’t banned the carcinogenic products. Health experts keep asking the FDA why it missed its own deadline, with the answer that it takes time. But during that time, how many more Black women will be diagnosed with uterine fibroids, preterm birth and infertility, or breast, ovarian and uterine cancer?

Red Lobster Workers Seeing Red
Baltimore, MD A Red Lobster employee has filed a proposed wage and hour class action in federal court accusing the seafood chain of violating the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Maryland Wage and Hour Law.
