Probe faults mayor, officials for keeping Prude death secret
The report said Singletary told the mayor the officers restrained Prude, but the chief โconsistently deemphasizedโ the role of restraints in Prude's death, and his statements to officials didn't โcapture the disturbing tenor of the entire encounter."

Nevada union warns members of Sanders, Warren health plans
Health care is one of the biggest issues for the union, whose members have fought and negotiated for robust plans. The Culinary Union's leaflet does not name Warren or Sanders or cite Medicare for All, but it reflects some of the arguments both candidates have made.

Thatโs our responsibility," she said in a text message, adding that union members will make the ultimate decision. The issue has been at the forefront of town halls that the union has held in Las Vegas with the candidates, including Warren and Sanders, and many union members and leaders made it clear they don't want to give up their health plans.

Boxed in? Warren confronts tough politics of health care
Warren says that, far from having boxed herself in politically, she's been working on her health care plan for months and still sees it as a winning issue. "You're going to get health care with no premiums, no deductibles, no fear of bankruptcy if you have a health emergency." Sara Collins, vice president for coverage and access with the nonpartisan Commonwealth Club, said the key involves changing how the health care tab is divided up among employers, government and individuals. Unlike Warren, Sanders has already released payment options, including higher taxes on wealthy Americans and an employee payroll tax of 7.5%. But that would give federal authorities more control over employee health costs than employers, potentially affecting jobs.

And the union got GM to drop its demand that workers pay a much greater percentage of their own health care costs.
