)The Center Square) – An Illinois congressman praised a vote to restore collective bargaining for over one million federal workers while critics say the U.S. Senate won’t pass the Protect American Workers Act. In a video posted to social media, Illinois U.S. Rep. Eric Sorensen, D-Rockford, said the House approved a measure that would rescind President Donald Trump's executive order affecting more than one million federal workers, including employees at the Rock Island Arsenal in western Illinois. “Republicans crossed the aisle to vote with Democrats on this important issue,” Sorensen said. “We both realized that the president’s order was a slap in the face to public servants who deserve to have their voices heard. It cut right at the fundamental right for workers to organize for fair wages and safe working conditions.” Critics say the “worker rights” rhetoric masks the real issue, whether unions should have mandatory bargaining power over federal agencies, with Freedom Foundation researcher Maxford Nelsen arguing supporters rely on generic talking points that misrepresent federal labor law. “What you see under the status quo is mandatory collective bargaining in the federal workforce, which is incredibly inefficient and far less protective of employee rights than many people realize,” Nelsen said. “For example, wages generally are not subject to collective bargaining in the federal government. The power of the purse belongs to Congress, which, despite its many flaws, is a better steward of the nation’s financial resources than government unions would be.” Nelsen said the measure’s prospects in the Senate are slim. “I think it’s extremely unlikely that the legislation is considered or receives a full vote in the Senate, much less passes,” he said, citing the 60-vote threshold needed to overcome a filibuster. He added that even if the bill reached the White House, a presidential veto would be likely. Nelsen also suggested that some Republican support reflected political calculation rather than policy agreement. “These are generally Republicans who are either personally pro-union or come from union-dense areas,” Nelsen said. “This is a relatively low-cost way to signal their pro-labor bona fides back home without risking too much, because they know the legislation isn’t going to become law anyway.” Sorensen framed the vote as consistent with his long-standing support for organized labor, saying unions helped build the country and strengthen the middle class. “The people of our district will always be able to count on me to fight for the working men and women to have a voice on the job,” said Sorensen. According to Nelsen, the central issue is not union membership but compulsory collective bargaining. “The real question is whether such organizations should have a legal right to have special access and special say over how federal agencies operate through mandatory collective bargaining,” he said. “And that’s really the issue.” Nelsen said federal employees had advocacy groups before collective bargaining was mandated in the 1970s, lobbying lawmakers like other interest groups. “But they view that as insufficient,” Nelsen said. “What they want is this legal protection that allows them to force federal agencies to sit down with them at the negotiating table for months or years and ultimately write hundreds of pages of legally binding contracts dictating minute details of agency operations.”

(The Center Square) – Seattle’s Office of Economic Development is calling the first year of its artificial intelligence public-private partnership a major success after growing its number of startups from 15 to 21. The partnership, titled “AI House” is run out of Pier 70 on the Seattle waterfront, with the space intended to be used as a de facto AI town hall, allowing talent – entrepreneurs, investors, students and community leaders – to work together. The public-private partnership includes the Seattle Office of Economic Development, the nonprofit AI research institute AI2 Incubator and Ada Developers Academy. Seattle used $210,000 in funding from the Office of Economic Development and $400,000 from a Washington State Department of Commerce grant to lease the waterfront space to nonprofit organizations and academic institutions as part of a plan to support and nurture early-stage and startup AI businesses. When the partnership was first announced in March, there were an initial 15 AI startups already at AI House, all of which have received funding from AI2 Incubator. Since then, that number has grown to 21 startups that has raised $34 million in capital, according to the Office of Economic Development. The startups focus on AI technology and development and teach curricula to skill up workers to use AI as a business resource. Eric Moss, communications director for the Office of Economic Development, said the city sees AI House as a “huge success as the first-of-its-kind town hall for AI founders, developers, and the broader tech community.” Moss noted another metric of success for the AI House has been the community gatherings that have brought together people with a range of expertise across the AI ecosystem together for knowledge sharing, innovative problem solving, and to build a real community. “Places like the AI House are just one of the many reasons Seattle is becoming the best place in the nation to form, launch, and grow an AI company,” Moss emailed The Center Square. Moss said that when founders complete their incubation and graduate out of the AI House, they will have access to available office space downtown, keeping them close to the AI community at AI House, but also close to major tech companies that have a presence in Seattle. As AI has developed rapidly, so have criticisms of the new technology. This includes its impact on the workforce, as Seattle has seen this year in the case of Amazon laying off 14,000 corporate jobs as the retailer invests in AI. The Washington State Labor Council pushed for 2025 legislation – House Bill 1622 and Senate Bill 5422 – to allow public employees to collectively bargain over AI implementation if it affects wages, hours, working conditions or performance evaluations. The council recommended protections for specific categories of workers most likely to be impacted by AI, including transportation workers, creators of intellectual property, workers in creative fields, administrative workers and public employees. HB 1622 and SB 5422 did not pass out of the 2025 Washington legislative session. The Washington State Labor Council and AI2 Incubator did not, amid New Year's holiday week, respond to The Center Square's inquiries by the of publication.

(The Center Square) – Arizona and Utah continue to see an increase in measles cases. Ten new cases were reported this week in Arizona, bringing this year’s total to 205. Most of the new cases (nine) are in Mohave County, where the most cases (200) have been documented this year. The other new case is in Coconino County, which, prior to this week, had not reported any incidents. Navajo County has seen four measles cases this year. Nicole Witt, director of Public Health Preparedness for the Arizona Department of Health Services, said the state is recommending people get vaccinated for measles. “The measles vaccination is the best protection against measles,” Witt told The Center Square. “The majority of our cases in Arizona as well as the majority of the cases nationally, are related to measles are related to unvaccinated individuals, so if folks are unsure of their vaccination status or have not yet received their measles vaccination, we strongly encourage the individuals get up to date as soon as possible.” Measles is a contagious virus that usually begins with a high fever and symptoms such as a cough, runny nose and red, watery eyes. A document issued by ADHS says that a red, blotchy rash appears two to four days later, starting at the hairline and spreading to the face, trunk and limbs. The rash usually lasts five to six days. “Measles spreads through the air when someone with the virus coughs or sneezes,” the ADHS document states. “The virus can live in the air or on surfaces for up to 2 hours. People with measles can spread it from 4 days before the rash appears until 4 days after.” While only eight hospitalizations have been reported in Arizona, and no deaths have occurred, ADHS says “measles can become very serious” and may lead to pneumonia, seizures, brain damage or even death. “We are in respiratory season, and it’s the holidays, people are traveling and moving about, so we recommend that everybody take care,” said Witt. “If you are sick or ill, make sure you stay home and follow up with your healthcare provider.” It is a similar situation in Utah, where cases are up 14 from last week, a Utah Health & Human Services spokesperson told The Center Square. That brings the total number of cases this year to 156. Most cases are in Southwest Utah (114). The other cases have been found in Utah County (16), Wasatch County (9), Salt Lake County (5), Bear River (4), Central Utah (3), Southeast Utah (3), and Davis County (2). Like Arizona, Utah is recommending people get vaccinated for measles. “The best protection against measles is vaccination,” said Dr. Leisha Nolen, an epidemiologist with the Utah Department of Health & Human Services. “We estimate over 90% of Utahans have been vaccinated to protect them from measles, so most Utahans are well protected. But we really encourage those people who have not been vaccinated, or their kids have not been vaccinated, to really talk to their health care provider and consider getting this protection for their family.” Some Utahans who were recently vaccinated did so when cases began increasing. “So we can see some people are taking action to protect their families, but we know there are still quite a few people that have not," said Nolen. Another recommendation is that people with measles symptoms limit their exposure when visiting a health care facility. That recommendation extends to those who believe they might have been exposed and are seeking medical attention. “One thing that we’ve seen is quite a few people who are sick with measles go into clinics and expose many other people in those clinics,” said Nolen. Patients at clinics could include babies not yet eligible for the measles vaccines, Nolen said, urging anyone with measles symptoms or likely exposure to measles to call ahead before entering a clinic. Staff could direct them to come through a different door and not sit in the waiting room.
