DETROIT (AP) — As a fan, Shaun Horne is all about Detroit's professional sports teams. But when it comes to playing, the high school junior has his eyes on one game. “I only play golf,” Horne said after taking his turn on a simulator inside a gym on Detroit's westside. Embracing golf makes the 16-year-old a rarity among his Detroit peers — particularly Black high schoolers. Coaches and community groups in the city are taking ambitious steps to spread the game's popularity among students — noting that only about 50 of more than 14,000 high school students in Detroit's school

UAW vote on tentative contract with GM is too close to call
The tentative contract agreement between General Motors and the United Auto Workers union appears to be headed for defeat. The union hasn’t posted final vote totals yet, but workers at five large factories who finished voting in the past few days have turned down the four year and eight month deal by fairly large margins. Local union officials said workers at all of those factories voted against the deal. The vote tallies at the plants ranged from 55% to around 60% against the contract. Voting continues at Ford, where the deal is passing with 66.1% voting in favor so far. The contract was passing overwhelmingly in early voting at Stellantis. The union’s vote tracker shows that 79.7% voted in favor with many large factories yet to finish.
Auto workers have launched strikes at three General Motors facilities in Canada. Their union, Unifor, represents about 4,300 workers at the plants. They had warned they would walk off the job if they failed to reach agreement with GM by midnight local time Monday. The action came after Unifor workers ratified a new three-year labor contract with Ford. It was seeking a similar agreement with GM. President Lana Payne had said the union had a lot of bargaining leverage with GM because the factory in Oshawa, Ontario, is working around the clock to build profitable Chevrolet pickups.
