In labor news, workers at three more Buffalo-area Starbucks voted to unionize. Six U.S.-based Starbucks now have a union; over 100 other locations across the country have filed for their own union elections.

Major League Baseball has reached an agreement with the MLB Players Association on a new union contract. The deal ends a 99-day lockout of players by team owners that had threatened to shorten the 2022 season. Opening Day is now set for April 7. In a statement, Vermont independent Senator Bernie Sanders said, “It would be wrong for Congress to simply celebrate today’s agreement and move on. We must prevent the greed of baseball’s oligarchs from destroying the game. The best way to do that is to end Major League Baseball’s antitrust exemption and I will be introducing legislation to do just that.”
