Philadelphia City Council Members Kendra Brooks explains how unions are supporting these bills after workers have been threatened by their bosses.
With some important elections happening this year in Pennsylvania, all eyes will be on Northampton County to see how voters mark their ballots.
Ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids and the shooting death of Renee Good at the hands of an agent in Minneapolis earlier this month prompted Nicky Catalfano, a Lancaster County resident, to attend a protest in Elizabethtown on Saturday.
Close to 100 people gathered for the demonstration, where they pushed local governments to end cooperation and agreements with ICE.

For Clare Duffus, who has been a postpartum nurse at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Magee-Womens Hospital for the past four years, joining a union was a no-brainer.
She shared with The Keystone that caring for her patients and getting them better treatment was one of her main reasons for supporting the union.
Duffus and hundreds of her other colleagues will be joining the Service Employees International Union Healthcare Pennsylvania (SEIU HCPA) after they voted 402 to 305 in favor of the union last week.
