🍎 A third Apple store is looking to unionize
Workers at Apple’s Towson Town Center store in Maryland say that they’ve received signatures from a majority of the employees that would likely be able to join a union, and are planning on filing with the National Labor Relations Board to schedule an election.
Earlier on Tuesday, Apple agreed to schedule a union vote on June 2nd with workers at another retail store in Atalanta. Employees in New York have also started collecting signatures to hold a union vote.
The workers also have varied demands, though they’re along the same lines — workers in New York are asking for a $30 minimum wage at the store, while Atlanta’s pay demands are for “transparency around pay inequality, cost of living adjustments, and real living wages.”

🧳 SEC nearly doubles crypto enforcement unit, citing fraud risk in booming market
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced Tuesday that it will close to double its cryptocurrency enforcement division, adding another 20 positions to the Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit.
As cryptocurrency has become more available to retail investors, fraud and abuse have kept pace. One prominent type of scam is known as a rug pull, where the operators of a project solicit investment, promise big returns, and simply abscond with the money.
In its announcement, the SEC expressed particular interest in crimes connected to staking and lending platforms, decentralized finance (DeFi) services, stablecoins, and NFTs. The newly created staff positions would include investigative attorneys, trial counsels, and fraud analysts, the SEC said.

😁 In yet another slip of the tongue, US President Joe Biden has said that “the US has made sure Russia had Javelins and other weapons to strengthen their defences”.
The verbal lapse occurred as POTUS was addressing staff during a visit to a Lockheed Martin facility in Alabama, which makes Javelin anti-tank missiles. Apparently his remark came as something of a shock to local employees who labour under the impression that they are supplying Ukraine with weapons…

Stand-up comedian Dave Chappelle has joined the Chris Rock Club after being attacked on stage during a show in Los Angeles.
He was hit by a man who rose like a cobra right onto the stage. When Jamie Foxx, who was standing in the wings wearing a sheriff's hat, and assorted security detained the man, Chappelle said “it was a trans man”. Some people have already criticised the comedian for his jokes about trans people
