HelloFresh warehouse workers in Newark filed lawsuit alleging discrimination, harassment, forced labor

HelloFresh warehouse workers in Newark filed a class-action lawsuit alleging discrimination, harassment, and forced labor. The lawsuit claims HelloFresh managers and supervisors threatening violence, using racial slurs, denying bathroom access, and threatening to call U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement against Latine and immigrant workers. According to the lawsuit, HelloFresh laid off about 400 temporary employees on short notice just one day before the state’s Temporary Workers’ Bill of Rights was set to go into effect, which guarantees temporary workers stronger labor protections. Plaintiffs are seeking compensatory, punitive, and statutory damages, severance pay, legal fee reimbursement, and pre- and post-judgement interest.

FAA lifts nationwide ground stop after 5 hours, including at NJ, NY airports

The Federal Aviation Administration issued ground stops nationwide for about five hours Friday, including at all of the tri-state area's international airports. The FAA advisory had cited extraordinary circumstances and reasons of safety, according to a social media post by Flightradar24, which tracks air traffic in real time. In a news conference at the White House on Friday night, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy said the outage was due to an “incredibly old air traffic control system” that resulted in routers being overloaded with data on Friday, causing an “inconsistency in the data” around 3:36 p.m. Friday. At 8:15 p.m. Friday, the ground stop was lifted, Duffy said. U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, speaking alongside Duffy in the White House press briefing room, said there was no evidence Friday of a cyberattack. Duffy called on Congress to urgently appropriate billions of dollars in new funding to modernize an antiquated air traffic control system that is currently dependent on a combination of technologies that date back to the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. The @FAAnews issued a nationwide ground stop for all U.S. airports following a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers. FAA technicians are investigating
