Hundreds of Starbucks employees at more than 50 U.S. outlets have walked off the job since Sunday to protest the company's new dress code, according to Starbucks Workers United, which represents baristas at about 570 of the chain's more-than 10,000 company operated locations. The coffee chain on Monday implemented a new dress code that requires baristas to wear solid black tops, a change from prior practice that allowed any color, among other changes. Baristas argue that the dress code won’t improve operations or make their jobs easier, union delegate Michelle Eisen said in a statement from Workers United. “This policy change puts the burden on baristas, many of whom are already struggling to get by, to buy new clothes or risk being disciplined,” she said. The company has said it would provide two Starbucks-branded shirts free of charge but couldn’t guarantee they would arrive by May 12th, when the new dress code went into effect.

The government has announced a significant restructuring of the civil service, relocating 12,000 jobs from London to regional campuses across the country. The move aims to save £94m annually by 2032 and includes the closure of 11 office buildings in the capital, notably 102 Petty France, which houses around 7,000 civil servants. Pat McFadden, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, said: "By relocating thousands of Civil Service roles, we will not only save taxpayers money, we will make this government one that better reflects the country it serves." The initiative is expected to generate £729m for local economies by 2030, with plans for new campuses in Manchester and Aberdeen. Some unions have welcomed the move, but concerns remain about the impact on affected civil servants.

In recent months, K-12 educators have faced increasing pressure regarding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. A notable incident occurred at Herriman High School in Utah, where a poster for Inclusion Week sparked backlash from a former state school board member, who criticized it as a defiance against anti-DEI sentiments. Principal Todd Quarnberg expressed frustration, commenting: “When did diversity and inclusion—when did these become nasty words?” The U.S. Department of Education has issued directives to eliminate what it deems “illegal DEI practices,” but has not clearly defined these terms, leading to confusion among educators. A survey revealed that about 5% of educators reported a complete halt in DEI programs since the Trump administration began, with larger districts more likely to report a decrease. As investigations into DEI practices unfold, concerns grow about the impact on educational equity efforts.

The House Ways and Means Committee held a hearing on Tuesday to discuss the so-called "One Big Beautiful Bill," which aims to extend provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act while introducing new tax breaks for various income types. Committee chair Jason Smith (R-MO) emphasized that the bill fulfills President Donald Trump's promise of "historic tax relief to working families." However, Democrats, led by Ranking Member Richard Neal (D-MA), criticized the bill for potentially worsening inequality and increasing the deficit. Key provisions include making certain tax cuts permanent, increasing the state and local tax deduction cap, and eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay. The bill is expected to undergo changes in the Senate, with Mark Baran from CBIZ noting: "Congress is finally able to pass a concurrent resolution to unlock the budget reconciliation process." The bill also proposes significant alterations to renewable energy tax credits and the IRS' tax filing programs.

MSPs have been urged to automatically grant legal aid to individuals experiencing domestic abuse seeking solicitor assistance. This appeal arises from a Holyrood committee's investigation into the financial challenges victims face when attempting to leave abusive relationships. The Law Society of Scotland highlighted that many victims are subjected to coercive control, which can distort their financial status, making them appear more financially stable than they are. The society advocates for extending automatic legal aid to civil cases related to domestic abuse, as current means testing can create significant financial burdens for victims. Police Scotland reported over 61,000 incidents of domestic abuse in 2022-23. The Scottish Government has initiated a pilot project to provide legal advice to affected women and children, but further support is essential to ensure victims can access necessary legal protections.

The retailer has engaged cybersecurity experts and reported the incident to relevant authorities, including the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which is collaborating with the National Cyber Security Centre. Customers have been advised to reset their passwords for added security. M&S is continuing to experience shortages of fresh produce, bakery items, and dairy products, with shoppers reporting gaps in stock and issues with payment systems. Online delivery slots have been unavailable since 25 April. An M&S spokeswoman said that staff are "working around the clock to get things back to normal for our customers as quickly as possible." However, the company has not provided a timeline for when shelves will be fully restocked.

U.S. energy industry trade groups are intensifying lobbying efforts to protect clean energy tax credits from cuts proposed in the Republican budget plan. The House Ways and Means Committee has suggested phasing out several subsidies linked to wind, solar, and hydrogen technologies under the Inflation Reduction Act. Heather O'Neill, chief executive of Advanced Energy United, said: "Without these credits, American families will be worse off." The group has launched a national ad campaign targeting lawmakers in key states, emphasizing the economic benefits of these investments. Meanwhile, hydrogen industry lobbyists are advocating for the preservation of the federal 45V tax credit, which they claim could support 60,000 jobs annually and contribute over $12bn to GDP.
