This is the best summary I could come up with:
A new federal rule that goes into effect next month could make it easier for millions of workers to form unions at big companies like McDonald’s.
It’s created wealth for thousands, particularly underrepresented minorities and women,” said McDonald’s President and CEO Chris Kempczinski during a recent conference call with investors.
Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, and Bill Cassidy, a Louisiana Republican, have introduced a Congressional Review Act resolution that would overturn the rule.
Eiker has foot pain and high blood pressure, but said his job doesn’t offer affordable health care or paid time off to see a doctor.
In 2015, the NLRB ruled that Browning-Ferris Industries, a waste management company, should be considered the joint employer of contract workers who were sorting its recycling because it had authority over their working conditions.
Labor unions say the NLRB will consider such circumstances on a case-by-case basis, but the rule is still necessary to ensure all workers can negotiate wages and working conditions.
The original article contains 1,000 words, the summary contains 162 words. Saved 84%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Normally these are pretty good, but wow, this tl;dr is really bad lol
