The Supreme Court appeared ready last week to side with two California agriculture businesses that want to bar labor organizers from their property, a case that could be another blow to unions.
The justices heard arguments in a case involving a California labor regulation put in place in 1975, following the efforts of labor leader Cesar Chavez. The regulation grants unions access to farms and other agriculture businesses in order to organize workers for up to three hours per day, 120 days per year.
The Supreme Court also said it will consider reinstating the death sentence for Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, presenting President Joe Biden with an early test of his opposition to capital punishment.
