By Jarrett Renshaw (Reuters) – The Biden administration on Tuesday released final guidance on how clean energy companies can secure additional tax credits when investing in U.S. communities economically tied to fossil fuels like oil and coal.

It also helped secure…

Take another look at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which is taking a pro-worker leap by exposing non-compete clauses — clauses which prevent millions of workers from taking a job with higher pay from a similar employer to the one they have now. Corporations use other sources of power to underpay and disempower workers, so the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FTC are consulting with worker representatives on the effect…
