Brief: Labor Board correctly found that ILA union bosses violated dissenter's rights and should be held to a "heightened" standard for abuse of power
Wilmington, DE, Philadelphia, PA (October 5, 2026) - National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation staff attorneys filed a brief in the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals on behalf of Stanford Fowler,a port worker who was the victim of union officials' years-long campaign of abuse that included threats and loss of referrals from the union-controlled hiring hall.
The case started when Fowler, who worked at the Port of Wilmington in Delaware, filed an unfair labor practice charge at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in August, 2021. Fowler argued that he had been illegally blacklisted by International Longshoreman's Association (ILA) Local 1694 union officials after voicing concerns to the ILA International about work assignment practices after a merger of several ILA locals.
Following the issuance of a complaint by the NLRB General Counsel, an NLRB Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) ruled largely in Fowler's favor, and a subsequent unanimous decision from a bipartisan panel of NLRB Members affirmed the ALJ's findings and even extended them farther, ruling that the union officials' actions had violated federal law in several respects. In its decision, the NLRB ordered the union to provide Fowler with back pay covering the past five years to remedy his loss of work due to the union bosses' discrimination.
Rather than accept responsibility for their unlawful actions, ILA Local 1694 bosses instructed their lawyers to appeal the Board's decision to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. They even attempted to block Fowler from participating in the defense of his Labor Board victory, but those arguments were overruled and the Court specifically allowed Fowler to participate as an Intervenor to ensure the Board's decision stands.
Foundation Calls for Court to Reject Local 1694's Misleading Brief, Fully Enforce NLRB's Decision
The Foundation staff attorneys' brief argues that the ALJ and NLRB were "correct in determining that Local 1694 violated the [National Labor Relations Act] and the duty of fair representation" by threatening and coercing Fowler for dissenting, interfering with his ability to gain employment, banning him from the port, and telling him that gaining further work through its hiring hall would be futile. The brief urges the Court to ignore the union's smokescreen of arguments that attempt to distract from the real issues.
The brief points out that Local 1694's defense "omits much more than it presents." Among these omissions were the failure of Local 1694 President and Vice President to show up at the hearing as witnesses, even though both were explicitly mentioned in the complaint. Furthermore, the Foundation attorneys' brief calls out the union's lawyers for relying on previous NLRB decisions that were reversed and denied enforcement by two appellate courts.
The brief argues, under Breininger v. Sheet Metal Workers Int'l, that when a union chooses to operate a hiring hall it is assuming an "employer's role" and "its responsibility to exercise that power fairly increases rather than decreases." Fowler urges the Court to apply a strict and "heightened" standard of fairness found in two earlier Foundation-won cases, Jacoby v. NLRB and Lucas v. NLRB, which both applied the heightened standard of fairness.
The brief observes that applying this heightened standard would "both clarify the state of the law in this circuit and prevent Local 1694 and other hiring halls from attempting to avoid liability by asserting 'mere negligence' as an affirmative defense to their patently discriminatory conduct."
"We are proud to help Mr. Fowler as he defends his NLRB victory at the court of appeals. We are also gratified that we overcame the union's underhanded attempt to block him from even participating in the appeal of his own legal case," commented National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix. "Union bosses must be held accountable when they use their control over hiring halls to retaliate against those who exercise their rights under federal law.
"This case, like our prior Foundation victories in Lucas and Jacoby, show why hiring halls are easily abused by unscrupulous unions, and they should be banned or at least strictly monitored," added Mix. "Mr. Fowler's livelihood was threatened by ILA officials' actions, and we are proud to help him defend his NLRB victory against their illegal actions."

Event Will Convene Global Leaders to Shape the Future of Type 1 Diabetes in Philadelphia October 9-11
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 5, 2026 - Breakthrough T1D, formerly JDRF, the leading global type 1 diabetes (T1D) research and advocacy organization, is proud to announce the inaugural Breakthrough T1D Clinical & Research Congress (CRC 2026). This landmark gatheringof the global T1D community will take place from October 9-11, 2026, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
CRC 2026 will serve as a one-of-a-kind forum for bringing together world-renowned clinicians, researchers, scientists, healthcare professionals, industry leaders, and community advocates across two and a half days of programming. The Congress is designed to foster collaboration, spur innovation, and provide translational insights with the shared goal of improving lives and driving toward a world without T1D.
"The first Breakthrough T1D Clinical & Research Congress is inspired by the belief that drives our work: people with type 1 diabetes deserve better care options today as we work toward a future without this condition," said Aaron J. Kowalski, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Breakthrough T1D. "As a forum focused solely on type 1 diabetes, we're connecting the science with real-world implementation and lived experience to transform the future of T1D."
Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the latest scientific and clinical advances during more than 80 scientific sessions on a wide spectrum of critical focus areas, including:
* The Use of AI, Advanced Immune Profiling, Digital Twin Technologies & Other Emerging Technologies
* Pushing Toward Cures: Islet Cell & Disease-Modifying Therapies
* Addressing the Shortage of Endocrinologists
* Discovery Science & Immunotherapies
* Screening Guidelines for Early-Stage T1D
* Unmet Needs of the T1D Community & Access Gaps in Diabetes Care
CRC 2026 co-chairs Dr. Thomas Danne, Dr. Sanjoy Dutta, and Dr. Anastasia Albanese-O'Neill of Breakthrough T1D and the esteemed Clinical and Research Committee worked to assemble a faculty of speakers and presenters that include leaders from more than 16 countries and dozens of top global institutions. Some featured speakers include: Dr. Brynn Marks, Breakthrough T1D; Dr. Colin Dayan, University of Birmingham; Dr. Juan Alvarez-Dominguez, University of Pennsylvania; Dr. Tandy Aye, Stanford School of Medicine; Dr. Michael Haller, University of Florida; Dr. David Ahn, Mary & Dick Allen Diabetes Center; and many more.
Dr. Thomas Danne, Chief Medical Officer, International, said: "The science of T1D is moving beyond managing blood sugar alone. We are learning more about how the disease develops, how to protect or replace insulin-producing cells, and how to make daily care more precise. The questions before us now are which approaches will work, for whom, and how quickly we can bring them to patients."
Dr. Sanjoy Dutta, Chief Scientific Officer, said: "Some of the most important questions in T1D cannot be answered by one area of research alone. At the Breakthrough T1D Clinical & Research Congress, scientists working on the immune system, insulin-producing cells, and emerging technologies will have the chance to challenge and build on one another's findings. Those connections can help us understand the disease more fully and accelerate the paths to cures."
Dr. Anastasia Albanese-O'Neill, Senior Vice President of Medical Affairs, said: "Scientific advances only make a difference when they can improve someone's care. At the Breakthrough T1D Clinical & Research Congress, we'll look beyond what is possible in the lab to the questions clinicians and people with T1D face every day: who can benefit, how care can be tailored to their needs, and what it will take to make new options accessible."
CRC 2026 is poised to usher in a new moment for the T1D community as it reaches an inflection point on its path toward cures. For more information about the event, visit bt1dcongress.org

LOS ANGELES, California, Oct. 4 -- The AIDS Healthcare Foundation posted the following news:

With the Nation Watching, Three Rent Control Battles Unfold in California
*
Corporate landlords and their high-powered lobbying group, the California Apartment Association, are working to stop pro-rent control campaigns in three cities in California, already dropping $20,000 to kill a pro-rent control measure in Redwood City. Big Real Estate is now rolling out misinformation campaigns to confuse and scare voters, with tenants and activists countering corporate landlords' dirty tricks. If the underdogswin in November, it'll be a major victory for tenants and the housing justice movement in the United States.
California has long been a hotspot for housing justice activism. Between 2018 and 2024, for example, AIDS Healthcare Foundation, the parent organization of Housing Is A Human Right, sponsored three ballot measures that sought to repeal or reform statewide rent control restrictions.
Worried about losing billions of dollars in profits if one of the initiatives passed, corporate landlords and the California Apartment Association raised a total of more than $310 million to trick voters and kill the measures.
Unfortunately for California's 17 million renters, Big Real Estate's big spend worked: The measures were defeated, and corporate landlords kept charging higher and higher rents, making outsized profits off the backs of hard-working people.
(Read: "Expose: Big Real Estate's Money Trails to Kill the Expansion of Rent Control in California.")
The California Apartment Association has a mandate -- probably set by corporate landlords, who have delivered hundreds of millions in campaign cash to the CAA's four political committees over the years and whose executives sit on the CAA's board of directors -- to go to any city in California to kill legislation or ballot measures that would create strong tenant protections, including rent control. It doesn't matter how small that city may be.
So corporate landlords and the CAA are now fighting rent control battles in San Pablo, Redwood City, and Salinas. In each of those cities, rents have skyrocketed --and seniors, families, and students desperately need protections against predatory landlords.
In Redwood City, in San Mateo County, tenants and activists are working to pass Measure E, which will create rent regulations and expand tenant protections. As first reported by Housing Is A Human Right, the CAA, using corporate landlord money, has made a $20,000 contribution to a committee to stop the initiative. But local tenants and activists, led by Faith in Action Bay Area, are urging residents to vote "yes" on Measure E.
In San Pablo, in Contra Costa County, a grassroots campaign is working to pass Measure S, which also aims to establish rent control and stronger tenant protections. Rising Juntos and ACCE are two of the activist groups battling corporate landlords and the California Apartment Association, urging residents to vote "yes" on Measure S.
And in Salinas, in Monterey County, tenants and activists are telling residents to vote "no" on Measure H, which aims to repeal tenant protections, including rent control.
If all three pro-rent control efforts win, it will be an extraordinary victory that will stabilize sky-high rents and help seniors on fixed incomes, working-class families, and hard-working people. It will also be a shot heard around the country, inspiring tenants and activists throughout the U.S. to take on Big Real Estate and pass their own tenant protections, including rent regulations.

Swallows Return to Capistrano. Will Gay Bathhouses Return to New York City?
*
Texas has them. Florida, too. And they're in the works again in Minneapolis. Now, New York City is trying to legalize public bathhouses once again, gay gathering spots (and more) of yesteryear following a four-decade hiatus after they were shuttered in New York and across the country at the height of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s.
Legislation has been introduced in Albany to lift an effective ban on New York City's gaybathhouses, according to Gothamist. However, the news site notes, "Even if the bill -- dubbed the Public Health Modernization Act -- clears the Legislature and is signed by the governor, it would not immediately pave the way for bathhouses to open. The measure would take effect 180 days after becoming law, and it directs the state health department to 'consult' with public health experts before writing new rules governing how the businesses are licensed and operated, including minimum health and safety standards."
The debate is nuanced. Two Democrats are sponsoring the bill, while many Republicans or Republican organizations appear opposed or are avoiding comment. Bruce Blakeman, the Republican nominee for governor of New York, offered conditional support, according to the New York Times.
The Times also traced the history of gay bathhouses compared with today's digital world. Michael Falco, who runs the Queer Nightlife Community Center, told the newspaper, "I think part of the problem we have right now is so much of connection -- whether around sex or meeting people -- is done through apps ..." also noting that the opportunity for people to find community in a "more organic, analog way" like bathhouses was exciting.
The Times also noted: "There is also political motivation behind the bill. In other parts of the country, the L.G.B.T.Q. community has seen its support erode along with anti-discrimination measures. Given this backdrop, proponents like the Manhattan borough president, Brad Hoylman-Sigal, said the proposal was especially urgent."
"It sends a positive message to the LGBTQ community at a time when Washington is saying exactly the opposite,' he said.
AHF's Public Health Division has partnered from time to time in recent years with bathhouse owners in Los Angeles (where bathhouses remain legal) to provide free HIV testing services in its mobile testing vans and onsite in some establishments. It also worked together on a pilot project with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health's Division of HIV and STD Programs on the placement and stocking of vending machines stocked with free condoms and other safer sex provisions in these venues.

LOS ANGELES, California, Oct. 4 -- The AIDS Healthcare Foundation posted the following news:

Koalas versus Chlamydia: A Deadly Outbreak is Hitting Koalas Down Under in Australia
*
Bad news, bears. Koalas, everybody's favorite marsupial found only in Australia, are being devastated by a chlamydia outbreak.
It seems the country's population of the lovable furballs is under attack by a strain of chlamydia (chlamydia pecorum) that is related to a similar sexually transmitted chlamydia infection found in humans. Chlamydia remains one of humanity's most common and communicable sexually transmittedinfections. Fortunately, it is treatable in humans. Among koalas, however, the outbreak is a killer.
In koalas, chlamydia is progressive, painful -- and deadly. Once infected, chlamydia can affect koalas from top to bottom, with the bacterial infection causing eye disease severe enough to cause swelling, discharge, and even permanent blindness. Many koalas die because blindness then hinders their ability to climb trees and find food (they are fussy eaters -- almost exclusively eucalyptus leaves).
Infected koalas can also suffer bladder infections, cystitis, infertility, incontinence, and what is called "brown bottom" or "wet bottom," indicated by fur staining down under around an animal's rump. Chlamydia is believed to be responsible for as many as half the koala deaths in the country's wild populations
Thankfully, there is hope on the horizon. In July, CNN reported that Australia's University of the Sunshine Coast received a "world first" approval to roll out a one-dose vaccine it spent more than 10 years developing to protect koalas from the effects of chlamydia.
Researchers at the University of the Sunshine Coast believe their decade-long research and development of a chlamydia vaccine for koalas could also help humans. They noted in an April report on the University of the Sunshine Coast's Medical Express news site that it "...could help accelerate human vaccine development for one of the world's most common sexually transmitted infections," also citing a paper published in Trends in Microbiology that outlines how "... more than a decade of koala vaccination research is providing lessons for global efforts to develop a human chlamydia vaccine, something that has so far eluded scientists."
With hopeful news for koalas and heightened public attention on koalas and their chlamydia connection, AIDS Healthcare Foundation's (AHF's) Media and Public Health divisions will soon roll out an edgy new prevention billboard campaign -- "Even Koalas Get STDs" -- targeting human populations to promote AHF's FreeSTDCheck.org referral site.
In 2025, AHF tested over 168,00 people for STIs, including running 559,306 tests for chlamydia and 565,985 tests for gonorrhea (test numbers for chlamydia and gonorrhea include testing at multiple anatomical sites per person, which is why each test number is much higher than the total number of people tested).
A promising new medical development helps ailing koalas with chlamydia Down Under. A laudable achievement in and of itself, one which also gives rise to AHF's cheeky new STD prevention awareness campaign for humans all over.

HIV is a Serious Public Health Problem in the American South

HIV is a Serious Public Health Problem in the American South
*
Most Americans probably aren't aware of a very disturbing fact: HIV is a serious public health problem in the American South. That's especially true in the "Deep South" (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas), which experiences a higher burden of HIV compared to other parts of the United States.
In fact, AIDSvu.org data show that the South accounted for 52% of all newHIV diagnoses in the country, despite only representing 38% of the U.S. population. And 14% of people living with HIV in the South were unaware of their HIV status.
In addition, the South had the lowest PrEP-to-Need Ratio in the country -- 12 PrEP users for every new HIV diagnosis -- indicating the greatest unmet need for HIV prevention services. (PrEP is an HIV prevention medication.)
The burning question is: Why is this happening in the American South?
The short answer: The social determinants of health.
Issues such as poverty, lack of health insurance coverage, housing instability, and systemic racism directly link to inequities in HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and care.
In most recent years, the South has continually had the highest poverty rate and the lowest median household income in the U.S., which is directly contributing to the region's HIV burden.
AIDS Healthcare Foundation has responded to these issues, knowing that public health agencies must encompass the circle-of-health model in addressing the needs of at-risk populations, who often reside in under-resourced communities, and to meet community members where they're at.
AHF has made this happen through a variety of people-centered engagements, including free, accessible prevention services like mobile testing units; wellness services connected to its non-profit thrift store, Out of the Closet; and through the creation of its subsidiaries, Food for Health and the Healthy Housing Foundation.
This community-centered approach connects people to affordable housing and healthy food options while also ensuring access to prevention and treatment services for HIV and sexually transmitted infections.
Make no mistake, AHF is committed to addressing the health inequities and social determinants of health that contribute to the South's disproportionate HIV burden -- and expanding access to HIV prevention, testing, and care services.
Imara Canady is Director of Communications & Community Engagement at AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

The Data Maven: Key Facts about Mental Health and Aging Well with HIV

HIV care has done well in ensuring people live longer by achieving and sustaining viral suppression. Although viral suppression is an important measure of successful HIV treatment, it doesn't confirm that a person aging with HIV is healthy. Here are some key data points that everyone - from politicians to healthcare providers to the public - should know.
Approximately 47% of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program clients in 2024 were50 years old and over, with 94% achieving viral suppression. Despite this accomplishment, nearly 75% of respondents to HealthHIV's "State of Aging with HIV National Survey" reported moderate or high mental health stress, even though 98% of respondents were virally suppressed.
Viral suppression and mental wellness are not interchangeable measures of health, and healthy aging therefore requires HIV care to address mental health concurrently with HIV treatment. If the goal of modern HIV care is to promote healthy aging rather than survival alone, mental health must be integrated into the care of people aging with HIV and not relegated to the status of a secondary service.
The under-recognition of mental health concerns among people aging with HIV presents a clinical concern for healthy aging, yet less than 2% of HealthHIV's respondents identified mental health as their most pressing immediate need.
This discrepancy suggests that significant distress may go unrecognized when it is not presented as an immediate clinical concern. To truly ensure people living with HIV age well, leaving significant distress unrecognized is unacceptable; routine points of HIV care must include mental health screening, robust referral pathways to mental health services, and behavioral health integration.
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, behavioral health integration is part of a broader integrated care model that includes screening and effective follow-up, coordinated treatment, care coordination, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Having validated mental health screening and effective referral pathways are half the battle. The other half is ensuring patients aging with HIV are not left alone to navigate disconnected behavioral health systems after referral.
Integration can bridge the gap between identifying mental health needs and ensuring they are addressed. The next phase of HIV care must move beyond viral suppression by making mental wellness an integral part of what it means to age well with HIV.
