Yesterday afternoon, more than thirty community organizers and faith leaders gathered at Federal Plaza to hold a press conference about the petition calling for a special prosecutor in the investigation of Midway Blitz. Nearly 250 people back the petition, which says a special prosecutor is needed because Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke has failed to act. She called the demands “frivolous” and said she “will strenuously oppose this petition.” You can read mo

Every March, Women’s History Month invites us to reflect on the countless ways women have shaped our societies. Among the most powerful contributions are those made by women in journalism and the labor movement. Through their words, investigations, and organizing, women helped expose injustice and build movements that transformed working life. In journalism, women used the power of the press to challenge inequality. Ida B. Wells courageously investigated and documented the ho

On December 18, 2025, management presented a so-called “last, best, and final offer” (LBFO)  and tried to treat it as a take-it-or-leave-it deal. Calling something “last, best, and final” does not make it so.

In the same bargaining session, management attempted to impose a deadlin
