'It's war.' Tensions remain high at first Amazon warehouse in US to unionize
CNN
In the two months since workers at an Amazon warehouse in Staten Island, New York, voted to form the company's first US labor union, the organizers have been on a victory lap.
Leaders for the newly formed Amazon Labor Union have visited the White House, testified before a Senate committee, been featured on Time's list of the 100 most influential people and rallied alongside prominent progressive political figures such as Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The fired-Amazon-worker-turned-union-president, Chris Smalls, has also been recognized publicly, both as a labor leader and for his fashion sense, with his style written up by the New York Times.

The governments of Mexico and the United States signed a memorandum of understanding on Thursday to fund and expedite several wastewater treatment projects in the Tijuana River basin. Untreated wastewater continually affects residents living along the river, which flows across the border from Tijuana and through several of San Diego’s southern neighborhoods.
