A federal judge has ruled against the Trump administration's attempt to reduce the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) workforce by 50%, saying that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) overstepped its legal authority. The ruling is a significant win for labor groups that argued the cuts violated protections meant to ensure FEMA's independence. Although the cuts were not implemented, the agency has faced significant staff departures, with over 4,300 employees leaving in the 2025 budget year. U.S. District Judge Susan Illston observed: “Frankly, the FEMA staffing plan number appears as if pulled from thin air.” FEMA responded in a statement late Saturday, saying: “DHS and FEMA are ready for the 2026 hurricane season . . . We're ensuring workforce stability and a strong, deployable force for upcoming national events and potential disasters; making the agency leaner, faster and laser-focused on supporting state, local, tribal and territorial partners before, during and after disasters . . . FEMA continues to maintain a roster of experienced leadership and support staff across headquarters and regional offices.”

The government is reconsidering planned minimum wage increases for young workers due to concerns about rising employment costs. Ministers are examining whether the rapid wage hikes have contributed to the youth jobs crisis: nearly 1m 16 to 24-year-olds are neither working nor studying. A government spokesperson explained that while they remain committed to closing the wage gap, they have asked the Low Pay Commission to consider employment opportunities in future recommendations. Alan Milburn, who is leading a review into youth worklessness, has suggested that slowing wage increases may help persuade companies to hire young people more readily.

Education and technology groups are raising concerns that the Federal Communications Commission’s review of the $3bn E-rate program could restrict or potentially end a critical source of broadband funding for schools and libraries. Established in 1996, E-rate provides discounted connectivity that now supports not only classroom technology, but also essential operations, including security systems, HVAC controls, and school bus tracking. Advocates argue that concerns about student screen time should be addressed through curriculum decisions rather than changes to connectivity funding. Schools and libraries received more than $13bn through E-rate between 2021 and 2025, with higher discounts going to lower-income communities. Aldine Independent School District in Houston, where nearly all 50,000 students are economically disadvantaged, has received about $11m from the program over the past five years. Aldine Superintendent LaTonya Goffney warned that reducing E-rate support would create an immediate budget shortfall that could force the district to redirect money from teachers, programs, and other services. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said the review is intended to empower parents, strengthen program integrity, streamline administration, and better protect children. Public comments are due October 13.

U.S. taxpayers paid a record $5.3tn to the IRS in fiscal 2025, up 13.2% from fiscal 2023, according to TIGTA. Individual income tax revenue increased by $232bn, or 8.6%, from fiscal 2024, offsetting a $79bn, or 14%, decline in business income tax revenue. However, IRS enforcement revenue fell nearly 5% from a record $98.7bn in fiscal 2024 to $93.8bn, driven primarily by a 35% decline in examination-related revenue. The IRS lost about 27% of its examination and collection workforce between fiscal 2024 and 2025, while the number of individual tax return examinations started fell 30%. TIGTA warned that the effects of staffing reductions could become more apparent over time, although it made no recommendations to the IRS.

Tony Lenehan KC, one of Scotland’s leading defence advocates, says violent pornography may be normalising harmful sexual behaviour among young men, with more facing High Court sex-crime cases. He said behaviours including choking and coercive sexual conduct, once rare in such cases, were now widespread. Lenehan supports the Scottish Government’s planned misogyny bill, arguing its publicity could reinforce that such acts are unlawful, although they are already prosecutable. First Minister John Swinney has also announced a public health campaign targeting misogynistic attitudes among boys and young men. Lenehan said education on consent was crucial, stressing that people cannot consent to an assault and warning offenders they could face imprisonment and inclusion on the sex offenders register.

A federal appeals court has struck down an order from the White House that forced a coal plant in Michigan to stay open past its scheduled retirement date. The Energy Department has for more than a year ordered the J.H. Campbell facility in West Olive, Michigan, to maintain operations despite its plans to close in May 2025, citing an “energy emergency.” On Friday, a three-judge panel at the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the Trump administration had overreached in its use of emergency powers. The challenge was brought by attorneys-general from Michigan, Minnesota and Illinois, and environmental groups.

Germany's IG Metall union wants a commitment from Volkswagen to a landmark labour deal that was reached in December 2024. A leading representative for the union cited fears that a recent turnaround agreement could undermine the 2024 deal with widespread job losses, and members are to invoke a legal clause, which was part of the agreement, calling on management to negotiate on the matter. "Volkswagen expressly welcomes this," the carmaker said. "From the company's perspective, this step is necessary to consistently implement the measures adopted in 2024 and, at the same time, to address the additional challenges facing the entire automotive industry," it said. "This uncertainty cannot continue for the workforce at our locations," observed Daniela Cavallo, Volkswagen works council chief.

European financial services companies increased average nonexecutive director pay by 10% in 2025 to $314,148, more than double the 4.5% increase in North America, according to EY. The increase narrowed Europe’s pay gap with North America, where average remuneration reached $350,847, to 10.5% from 15% in 2024, as European firms competed more aggressively for senior talent and international experience. Wealth and asset management recorded the strongest pay growth, at 11.5%, compared with 6.5% in insurance and 4.5% in banking. Europe nevertheless continued to have the widest gender pay gap among the regions studied, with female nonexecutive directors earning 39% less than men, compared with gaps of 30% in Asia-Pacific and 7.1% in North America. Globally, average chair remuneration increased 14% to $755,136, while pay for other nonexecutive directors rose 5.8% to $296,706.
