Elijah Nouvelage | Getty ImagesDETROIT — Volkswagen workers in Chattanooga, Tennessee, will vote this week on whether to organize with the United Auto Workers in a key test of the union's sway. More than 4,000 VW workers are eligible to vote, beginning Wednesday and ending at 8 p.m. EDT on Friday. The organizing vote, which is being overseen by the National Labor Relations Board, will need a simple majority to succeed. Volkswagen, which has union workers at non-U.S. plants, has said it will let its workers determine whether to organize.

☆ Letter to a Young Crypto Enthusiast (or the Merely Curious)

It’s at 12 percent this year, according to a National Bureau of Economic Research working paper, and Bitcoin’s price has risen more than 75 percent from its 2022 low. Crypto conviction — or just curiosity — is not something that merits condescension from the olds and scolds of personal finance. It just requires you to ask a few questions about who you are and why you find crypto alluring. It is true that younger adults are more open to this way of putting money to work. If you’re under 40, you’re more likely to own crypto than people over 60, according to the N.B.E.R.

☆ A Multiracial, Hip-Hop-and-Bluegrass Band Wants to Fix Hate in America - The New York Times

The free publicity, complete with an online post by Donald Trump, spurred a surge in record sales. I recently spent two days with Gangstagrass, a band that is making music that actually unites us, and reflecting on why it isn’t better known. A version of the group produced the theme song of the TV drama “Justified.” (The song, “Long Hard Times to Come,” was nominated for an Emmy in 2010.) The multiracial band was created by Rench, a Brooklyn-based musician and producer. When he isn’t making music, Mr. Whitener is a stay-at-home dad.

If only every harried middle-aged father trying to hold down the fort while Mom is out doing important things could enjoy a payoff like the one depicted in “The Lost King”: “Boys, boys! Your mother’s just found Richard III !”The woman is Philippa Langley ( Sally Hawkins ), today Philippa Langley M.B.E. after being honored by the queen in 2015 for her services to the United Kingdom. You may recall, as I did, hearing in 2012 a jolly little news item about how “they” found the bones of the slain Richard in a parking lot. Let the film tell you.
