With $130 million in federal grant funding, Michigan is set to help more local communities tap into renewable energy to lower costs, create jobs, and protect the environment.
State officials say there are more questions than answers following a decision last month by the Michigan Supreme Court that is expected to change the employment landscape in the state.
FTC spokesperson Victoria Graham said that the decision “does not prevent the FTC from addressing noncompetes through case-by-case enforcement actions” and said that the agency is “seriously considering” appealing the Texas court’s decision.
The United Auto Workers Union (UAW) announced Tuesday that it has filed federal charges against former President Donald Trump and Tesla Founder Elon Musk saying the pair illegally threatened and intimidated workers.
UAW President Shawn Fain said ex-President Donald Trump is beholden to billionaires, knows nothing about the auto industry and would send the labor movement into reverse.
Vice President Kamala Harris reeled in a major endorsement Wednesday as the UAW International Executive Board voted to endorse her presidential bid.

The Biden-Harris administration’s ban on them is now tentatively set to go into effect on Sept. 4, pending other legal action.
Dozens of labor unions that represent thousands of Michigan workers are throwing their support behind Democratic Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin’s campaign for US Senate.
Legislation signed by President Joe Biden has led to at least $25 billion in clean energy projects announced in Michigan.
