Where schools will be closing their doors…

Los Angeles. Today, tens of thousands of Los Angeles Unified School District employees are expected to begin a three-day strike. The move means the nation’s second-largest school district will cancel classes for its more than 500,000 students. The scheduled strike comes after negotiations between the district and the union representing bus drivers, special education assistants, custodians, and cafeteria workers broke down. The union says staffers make an average of $25,000 a year. So, they’re calling for a 30% wage increase and an additional $2 an hour for the district’s lowest-paid employees. But the district’s not meeting those demands. Now, the LA teachers’ union has called on its 35,000 members to protest in solidarity. The district’s superintendent said he’s ready to resume negotiations whenever the union’s ready. In a statement, the union said it knows “a strike will be a sacrifice” but the district pushed the workers.

Who's giving a final say...

President Biden. Yesterday, he issued the first veto of his presidency over retirement investments. The move upholds a Labor Dept rule allowing retirement fund managers to consider the environmental and social impacts of their investments. Earlier this month, Congress passed a bill to scrap the rule, with Republicans calling it a "woke" policy. Now, Biden's rejected the bill, saying Congress's measure would have put the "retirement savings of individuals across the country" at risk. Any effort to override Biden's veto is unlikely to pass in the House and Senate.

...Oh and speaking of retirement, French President Emmanuel Macron’s government survived two no-confidence votes. Now, his plan — which triggered nationwide protests — will gradually increase the retirement age by three months each year until it reaches 64 in 2030.

Who’s getting justice…

XXXTentacion. Yesterday, a Florida jury found three men guilty of first-degree murder and armed robbery in connection with the rapper’s death. In 2018, 20-year-old XXXTentacion was shot and killed outside a Florida motorsports shop during a robbery. He was known for songs like “Sad!,” “Roll In Peace,” and “Look At Me!” and for his passionate fanbase. Now, all three men are facing life sentences.
