Banning states from passing or enforcing laws that protect workers from AI for the next DECADE is just plain reckless. The labor movement is urging the Senate to remove this harmful, anti-worker provision from their budget bill.

The Inter-American Court will be issuing its advisory opinion on July 3. An important moment for the development of human rights in the context of the climate emergency. As an amicus, we are hoping the opinion develops the concept of a just transition for the workers of the Americas.

Despite prior negotiations with FIFA and willingness from local authorities to engage, FIFA has withdrawn from commitments to allow independent inspections. Its refusal raises serious concerns about its responsibility to prevent exploitation in World Cup-related infrastructure projects.
