In today’s News and Commentary, Rutgers University unions considers resuming strike, Senator Cory Booker introduces legislation aimed to deter child labor through federal contracts, and Cargill Inc claims they will need months to sever ties with a U.S. meatpacking plant fined for child labor violations.

They reserve the right to go back to the picket line should bargaining not continue.
