Easy for this to get lost amidst all the horrors, but it was a *long* time coming. The first UAW election at this plant was during the Obama administration. (And the UAW's history of trying to organize southern auto workers goes back many more decades.)
After making history as the first Southern autoworkers outside the Big Three to join the UAW, the 3,200 workers at VW Chattanooga have won a tentative agreement that provides 20 percent across-the-board wage increases, affordable health care, real job security, and more.

January saw the most layoffs to start the year since 2009. Hiring was also at the lowest level to start the year since 2009.
Layoffs in January were the highest to start a year since 2009, Challenger says
With the recent narrative centering on a no-hire, no-fire labor market, the data suggests that the layoff part of the equation could be stepping up.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

The Rupert Murdoch guy who Bezos put in charge of the Post just fired the entire sports and local desks and much of the international desk.
His explanation?
“Even as we produce much excellent work, we too often write from one perspective, for one slice of the audience."

My takeaway is that Grokipedia may be useful for nonpoliticized topics — its material on my bio is more detailed than Wikipedia — but is factually unreliable when its mandate to say some conservative stuff kicks in. It strains to invent fake things if there's nothing real to say.
