NEW YORK, June 6 -- Newmark Group, a commercial real estate company that says they offer comprehensive suite of services and products, posted the following news release:

Newmark Completes Sale Of 11-Building Industrial Portfolio in San Francisco East Bay
Newmark announces the Company has arranged the sale of Sierra Trinity, an 11-building, shallow bay industrial portfolio located in Dublin, California, in the San Francisco East Bay. Newmark Executive Vice Chairman and President, Western Region Capital Markets Steven Golubchik, Vice Chairman Edmund Najera, Senior Managing Director DarrenHollak and Associate Director Brendan Raney represented the undisclosed seller and buyer in the transaction.
"The marketing process for Sierra Trinity yielded a deep bid pool of institutional, local and family office buyers," said Golubchik. "The competitive marketing process demonstrated the demand for multi-tenant, shallow bay industrial product in infill locations."
Sierra Trinity, located at 6701 Sierra Court, was 97% leased at the time of the sale to nearly 40 tenants across a variety of industries, with no single industry accounting for more than 20% of the rent roll. The property provided strong in-place cash flow with an average commitment of more than nine years, as well as potential future upside by marking rents to market and an average rental rate increase of 7% from renewing tenants.
Dublin sits in the East Bay Area's Tri-Valley, which also includes other cities such as Pleasanton, San Ramon and Livermore. The infill location site is just minutes away from both the 680 and 580 Freeways, the main East-West & North-South corridors in the inner East Bay, making it an easy commute from the rest of the Bay Area. The East Bay submarket is also home to a variety of well-known companies such as Workday, Lam Research and Kaiser.
According to Newmark Research, 80% of industrial leases signed in the U.S. in 2025 were for under 50,000 square feet, and buildings under 100,000 square feet have a vacancy rate of 5.3% while the national average is 7.5%.

New York Risks Falling Behind As Grid Upgrades Stall
*
As the 2026 legislative session adjourns, vital transmission legislation runs out of time.
ALBANY, NY - Last night, the New York State Assembly adjourned its 2026 session without passing Advanced Transmission Technologies (ATTs) legislation that would have required utilities to evaluate modern grid technologies capable of expanding transmission capacity faster and at lower cost. Across the country, states are increasingly adoptingthese technologies to address rising electricity demand, worsening congestion, and growing reliability concerns.
"New York had a prime opportunity to be a national energy leader," said Kristina Persaud, Senior Principal at Advanced Energy United. "Red states and blue states alike are adopting advanced transmission technologies as common-sense tools, and we look forward to working with the legislature to prioritize this when they reconvene."
The failure to advance the legislation comes as New York's grid faces mounting pressure from aging infrastructure and rising electricity demand. Advanced transmission technologies are widely viewed as one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to relieve grid congestion and unlock additional capacity using infrastructure already in the ground.
"We now have a tight timeline to catch up with other states making these fast-tracked upgrades," added Persaud. "Even states with very different political environments are recognizing that these technologies can improve reliability and reduce costs."

NLRB Chair Murphy and General Counsel Carey Testify at House Subcommittee Hearing
On June 4, the House Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensionsheld a hearing, with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Chair James Murphy and General Counsel Crystal Carey as witnesses to examine the policies and priorities of the NLRB. Chair Allen asked about the timing of an initial contract. GC Carey explained that, from certification, the extensive process of ascertaining, gathering, and responding to information pertaining to the specific employer, industry, and employees, as well as the time needed to draft proposals, can take time and should not be rushed. Chair Walberg, alluding to the imminent House floor vote on the "Faster Labor Contracts Act," stated that the federal government should stay out of union negotiations and not impose contract terms on the parties. Other highlights of the hearing included a discussion on the NLRB's ongoing efforts to clear the backlog of cases and hiring authority to onboard new employees to the field this fiscal year.

Senate Passes Reconciliation Bill to Fund ICE and CBP
The Senate early this morning passed the $69.6 billion reconciliation bill to fund U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) to carry out immigration enforcement operations through 2029 (the end of President Trump's term). The bill passed along a party-line vote of 52-57, with Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AL) as the only Republican "no" vote. The House is expected to vote on the bill next week.
House Appropriations Committee Releases FY27 Labor-H Bill
The House Appropriations Committee released its FY27 bill for the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Subcommittee ("Labor-H"). The bill makes a $3.7 billion cut to the Department of Labor's current funding level. Of note, it eliminates funding for Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) (consistent with the president's Executive Order 14173), the Bureau of International Labor Affairs, and the Women's Bureau. The bill prioritizes funding to expand apprenticeships, grow the American cybersecurity workforce, provide worker training in rural communities, and fund community college training grants.

For additional highlights, read the Subcommittee's summary of the bill here.

The Coalition for a Democratic Workplace (CDW), a broad-based business coalition, released a white paper, detailing why the FLCA is bad for workers, employers, and the American Economy, and sent a letter, signed by 376 organizations, to all members of the U.S. House of Representatives urging them to oppose the legislation.

Read Littler's ASAP here.
OLMS Enhances Reporting Requirements for Big Unions
The Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) published a new rule requiring big unions to report more detailed information about their finances. OLMS is a subagency of the U.S. Department of Labor, responsible for overseeing union and employer disclosures. Its new rule creates a new reporting form, the LM-2 Long Form. This new form must be filed by unions with annual revenue of at least $40 million. These unions must separately itemize any source of income of at least $5,000. They must also separately report expenses like foreign transactions, travel expenses, lobbying, and other political activity. The administration says that the new rule will make unions more transparent and more accountable to their members.
Trump Administration Rolls Back Job Protections for Policymaking Employees
By executive order, President Trump reclassified about 8,000 federal employees into a new "Policy/Career" category. Employees in that category will not be covered by standard civil-service rules related to misconduct and poor performance. That means they can be fired more easily. The administration created the new category in February. At the time, it estimated that the category could include as many as 50,000 employees. The order affects a much smaller group, but the group could be expanded later.
Among the employees affected by the order are many senior directors, agency attorneys, budgetary officials, and economists. The administration has argued that these employees help make federal policy and so must be accountable to the president. But critics, including some large labor unions, have accused the administration of politicizing the civil service. Several of them have sued to block the new classification. Their lawsuit is still pending in a federal district court.
DOL Issues Opinion Letters on Overtime Exemptions, Bonuses, and Compensable Time
The Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division issued new opinion letters that address the following:
* DOL Provides Guidance Related to Pre-Shift Work, Limits on the De Minimis Doctrine, and Timekeeping Rounding Practices
* DOL Opinion Letter Confirms Voluntary Off-Site Travel Does Not Make Meal Periods Compensable
* DOL Confirms Exempt Employees May Be Paid for Performing Nonexempt Work
* DOL Endorses "Bonus Pool" Approach to Calculating Percentage Bonuses

Cessna SkyCourier enters service in the Philippines with first delivery to Leading Edge Air Services Corporation
Designed and manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, the Cessna SkyCourier has entered service in the Philippines with the first delivery to Leading Edge Air Services Corporation (LEASCOR), expanding passenger and cargo connectivity across the country's island communities through a versatile, mission-ready turboprop.
The aircraft deliveredto LEASCOR, a wholly owned subsidiary of ACDI Multipurpose Cooperative, is a 19 passenger variant equipped with the optional passenger to freighter conversion kit. The configuration allows operators to quickly transition between full passenger and full cargo missions, supporting a wide range of domestic transport, tourism and logistics operations.
"Being able to shift seamlessly between passenger and cargo missions is critical for operators serving remote and regional markets," said Juan Escalante, vice president, SkyCourier Sales. "The Cessna SkyCourier provides a dependable, versatile platform that enables operators to respond quickly to changing transportation needs while maintaining efficiency."
Engineered for dependable performance in rugged environments, the twin engine, high wing turboprop combines generous payload capacity with excellent short takeoff and landing performance. Its large cargo door supports efficient loading while fixed landing gear and Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A 65SC engines contribute to durability and operational confidence across a variety of mission profiles.
LEASCOR was established in 2016 as the air chartering arm of ACDI Multipurpose Cooperative, which serves members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and other uniformed personnel, including active service members, retirees, reservists and civilian employees.
"The arrival of our first Cessna SkyCourier marks a defining milestone for Leading Edge Air Services Corporation," said Maj. Gen. Gilbert S. Llanto, Armed Forces of the Philippines (Ret). "It strengthens our ability to provide reliable air connectivity to communities that depend on consistent passenger and cargo service, particularly in remote areas."
"What makes the SkyCourier invaluable is its purpose-built versatility, supported by twin-engine reliability, high payload capacity and the ability to operate on short and unpaved runways. These capabilities enable seamless passenger and cargo operations, even in remote areas. With the SkyCourier, we are strengthening our capability to open underserved routes, enhance logistics and support regional economies. It allows us to respond faster, serve farther and operate more efficiently, advancing our goal of helping build a resilient, future ready aviation network for the Philippines," said Maj. Gen. Llanto.
