UAW clinches watershed union victory at Volkswagen Tennessee factory
Workers at Volkswagen's Tennessee plant have voted to join the United Auto Workers, the union said on Friday, calling victory after an unofficial tally showed a majority of eligible workers had cast ballots in favor of the union. The seismic win, if confirmed, will make the Chattanooga factory the first auto plant in the South to unionize via election since the 1940s and the first foreign-owned auto plant in the South to do so. The victory is a huge shot in the arm for UAW President Shawn Fain's campaign to unionize plants owned by more than a dozen automakers across the U.S., including Tesla.

Alec Bohm hits a pair of 3-run homers for Phillies against White Sox
PHILAELPHIA (AP) — Alec Bohm's first homer of the game was hit the opposite way into the right-field seats. His second homer was lofted high into the left-center section.

They're also a sneak peek at the power the Phillies think they can get out out Bohm on a more consistent basis. Bohm provided a needed dose of pop on the same night Philadelphia right-hander Spencer Turnb

Ecuador president declares state of emergency over energy crisis
Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa declared a second state of emergency on Friday over an energy crisis that has already led to rationing in the South American country. Noboa, who took office in November, had declared an energy emergency and instituted power cuts earlier this week, but the cuts will be suspended on Sunday for a referendum he looks set to win on a raft of security measures. His first emergency declaration, in January, sought to tame surging crime by allowing more coordination between the military and police.
