• Shipyard union labor claims stalled by Trump; Lawmakers demand answers (seacoastonline.com) — Unresolved unfair labor practice claims involving workers at Kittery’s Portsmouth Naval Shipyard have stalled, and all eight members of Maine and New Hampshire’s congressional delegations are pressing federal labor officials for answers. They argue a Trump-era executive order shouldn’t block review of complaints about changing working conditions and new disciplinary policies affecting local shipyard employees. 
• Kittery-based social service collective receives $1 million in state opioid settlement funds (mainepublic.org) — A Kittery-based social service hub, Mainspring Collective, is receiving a $1 million grant from Maine’s opioid settlement funds to expand local recovery and support services.
