Their faces weather-beaten, their bodies gaunt, the workers showed the toll of long days spent in the punishing sun of a Louisiana crawfish farm. They had had enough. Seated inside a McDonald’s beside Interstate 10, they described their plight to labor organizers: They were being terribly underpaid. Some had had their immigration papers seized. All of them were being housed in squalid facilities with tap water that came out brown, too dirty to drink or even bathe in. The chorus of complaints voiced at the fast-food joint in the heart of Cajun country, and later to federal authorities, set in motion a four-year legal battle between the Mexican-born crawfish harvesters and their employers. It ended a few months ago with a significant overhaul of American labor and immigration policy that affords new protections for migrant workers who blow the whistle on workplace abuses.

The mother of a Marine and two veterans who served in Iraq reflect on the U.S. decision to send failure-prone shells to help the Ukrainian military battle Russia. Mass produced toward the end of the Cold War, cluster munitions of this type scatter dozens or even hundreds of the tiny grenades at a time. These grenades were designed to destroy enemy tanks and soldiers deep behind enemy lines on land where allied soldiers were never meant to tread. U.S. government studies have found that the grenades have a failure rate of 14 percent or more, meaning that for every 155-millimeter cluster shell that is given to Ukraine and fired, 10 of the 72 grenades it disperses are likely to fall to the ground as hazardous duds. More than 100 nations have banned their use because of the harm they pose, especially to children, but the United States, Russia and Ukraine have not. In July, the Biden administration decided to provide artillery shells of this type to Ukraine after officials in Kyiv assured the White House that their forces would use them responsibly. Ukraine also promised to record where they used the shells for later demining efforts. The decision was frustrating and painful for some American civilians who have dealt with the aftermath of their use in combat.
