Florida’s teachers unions are heading back to court in a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of requirements for certain unions. A trial is scheduled to begin Thursday morning at a federal courthouse in Tallahassee. The case targets a law that sets a higher threshold for membership requirements and prohibits unions from automatically deducting dues from members’ paychecks. Unions representing first responders are exempt. Leaders of the teachers unions argue the law is designed to punish Gov. Ron DeSantis' critics in organized labor, while carving out exceptions for his political allies. DeSantis said when he signed the law that it would lead to more take-home pay for teachers.

One of the nation’s largest meat processors has agreed to pay $2 million to resolve allegations of child labor violations at a plant in Minnesota. The state's labor department said Thursday that its investigation found that Smithfield Packaged Meats employed at least 11 children at its plant in St. James ages 14 to 17 from April 2021 through April 2023. It says they performed potentially dangerous work. Virginia-based Smithfield denies knowingly hiring anyone under age 18 to work at the St. James plant. It says it did not admit liability under the settlement.
