Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 12:57:50 GMT

Starbucks is suing its union, Starbucks Workers United, after objecting to the group’s social media post in support of Palestine after the Hamas attack on Israel, according to an internal company note circulated Tuesday and obtained by The Intercept.The company had previously condemned the post but is now upping the ante, planning to take the union to court. In a message from Executive Vice President Sara Kelly, Starbucks argued that the union’s use of the name Starbucks confuses customers, and that some customers took their anger over the SWU statement out on store employees. The union’s post read “Solidarity with Palestine!” and quote-tweeted an image of a bulldozer breaking through the fence encircling Gaza. More than 9,000 workers at 360 stores have now voted to join SWU, which is affiliated with Workers United and SEIU, according to its website, but they have been met with stiff resistance from the company on a potential contract. The company previously sent SWU a “cease a...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 12:57:50 GMT

A broken rail caused a train derailment that collapsed a bridge over an interstate highway in Colorado, killing a truck driver and blocking the road for days, federal authorities said Tuesday based on their preliminary findings.Investigators are examining how the rail broke and why warning systems did not alert crews to the condition of the track, the National Transportation Safety Board said. An agency spokesperson said officials had no reason to believe sabotage caused the derailment.Built in 1958, the steel bridge collapsed Sunday when 30 cars from a BNSF Railway train hauling coal derailed while crossing over Interstate 25. The main north-south highway through Colorado is expected to remain closed for several more days, and hundreds of tons of coal and mangled railcars should be cleared from the road by Wednesday afternoon, officials said. After that, crews will assess the damage.The driver of a semitrailer truck who was killed while passing under the bridge was identified as La...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 12:57:50 GMT

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa will be without leading receiver Erick All for the rest of the season because of an injury to his right knee, Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz said Tuesday.All, who was hurt in last week’s 15-6 win at Wisconsin, is the second Iowa tight end to go out with a major injury. Luke Lachey had surgery for a right ankle injury he sustained against Western Michigan on Sept. 16, and Ferentz said it’s doubtful he would return before the end of the regular season.All transferred from Michigan in the offseason and caught 21 passes for 299 yards and three touchdowns in seven games. He would be eligible to return for a sixth season in 2024.All was hurt when he caught a short pass and had his knee struck by a Wisconsin defender.“Really unfortunate,” Ferentz said. “He’s done a great job, newcomer to the team, a great addition. Such a positive guy, hardworking, great personality and loves the game. He was certainly adding a lot to our football team. It’s a tough dea...
