Starbucks loses appeal over union election at Seattle store
A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday rejected Starbucks' claims that an election won by a union at the coffee company's flagship Seattle store was invalid because it was held via mail ballot during the COVID-19 pandemic. A three-judge 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel upheld a National Labor Relations Board decision that said the company, which is facing a nationwide union organizing campaign, must recognize and bargain with the store's union, which represents nearly 100 workers. Starbucks claimed that a labor board official who ordered the mail-ballot election in March 2022 used the wrong data to determine that an in-person election was unsafe because there was an upward trend in COVID cases in the Seattle area at the time.

US urges all armed forces in Sudan to halt North Darfur attacks
The United States on Wednesday called on all armed forces in Sudan to immediately cease attacks in al-Fashir, North Darfur, as Sudan's army battles the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for control of the vast north African country. In a statement, the U.S. State Department said it was "alarmed by indications of an imminent offensive" against the city by the RSF and its militias that would endanger civilians, including hundreds of thousands of displaced people. It also said it was troubled by RSF's reported razing of multiple villages west of al-Fashir as well as "indiscriminate" aerial bombing and humanitarian aid limits by Sudanese Armed Forces.

Renters' Reform Bill gets sign off from MPs - but indefinite delay to no-fault evictions ban remains
MPs have voted in favour of the government's Renters' Reform Bill - despite it including an indefinite delay to the end of no-fault evictions. A debate on the legislation ran throughout Wednesday afternoon, including around a new clause from the government which would hold off outlawing Section 21s until a review of the courts system had taken place. A Section 21 notice is the legal mechanism allowing landlords to evict tenants without providing a reason, which creates uncertainty for those who rent their homes.
