Two former Georgia election workers who won a $148 million defamation judgment against Rudy Giuliani asked a judge Wednesday to penalize him even further for continuing to falsely accuse them of tampering with ballots during the 2020 presidential election.

The alleged violations came in statements he made during two recent […]

Harris stood for workers like me on the picket line. Trump stood for the execution of innocent Black men. I’m standing with Harris.

Editor’s note: The following article is an op-ed, and the views expressed are the author’s own. Read more opinions on theGrio. When William Lucy and Martin Luther King Jr. led thousands of Black Memphis sanitation workers on strike in 1968, Lucy’s powerful statement defined a movement: “I am a MAN.” The movement demanded respect, better pay, safer working conditions, and the same opportunities as white men for a better life.  The same fight continues today. I am a father of […]

This law is a lifeline for pregnant workers, even as an abortion dispute complicates its enforcement

NEW YORK (AP) — Victoria Cornejo Barrera thought the legal helpline for workers sounded too good to be true and wondered if it was a scam.

She spent a month crying […]
