STERLING HEIGHTS, Michigan — The United Auto Workers said Monday it has expanded its strike of the Detroit automakers to Stellantis NV's Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, adding 6,800 members to picket lines and dealing another blow to the automakers' profitable truck plants.

In my opinion, it’s the most iconic and the most renowned concert venue on the planet.” While away in Los Angeles, family members — including his father, music agent Jonny Podell — sent him snaps......

A longtime Silicon Valley tech executive claims in a new lawsuit that a Mountain View, California, financial-technology firm stole intellectual property from its San Francisco rival so easily that every startup should fear the same thing happening to them. Scott Ellison of Palo Alto, California, alleges in his lawsuit filed Tuesday that he was wrongfully fired from Mountain View firm Stampli after reporting to its CEO that a newly hired executive had misappropriated documents from his former employer — a competitor in San Francisco named Front — and had given the materials to Stampli along wit......

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody came up empty on a public records request that sought to gain insight into agreements the Reedy Creek Improvement District’s board made with Disney ahead of a state takeover.

A similar request filed by the Orlando Sentinel also yielded no documents.
