Labyrinth Books union negotiations stall: Your Daily ‘Prince’ Briefing
Last week, fliers promoting Palestinian hate and the ongoing genocide in Gaza were found on campus near Spelman Hall. In light of this, and the rise in anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian hate in New Jersey in 2024, it’s imperative for Princeton students to stand on the right side of history. Of course, it is the responsibility of students who are already active in the cause to continue to affirm their commitment to the pro-Palestine, anti-genocide movement. However, now more than ever, it is paramount that students who have previously been unsure of their stance make the choice to oppose genocide and support Palestinian rights. All students should choose to support the pro-Palestine movement and to encourage the University’s divestment from Israel as a form of financial pressure on the Israeli economy, even if they haven’t previously.
Months after unionization, negotiations between the Labyrinth Books Union employees and the store’s owners continue to stall as disagreements over terms have prevented a finalized contract.

With no date set, negotiations will be in flux for the foreseeable future.

The Princeton women's soccer team (4–2–0 overall, 0–0 Ivy League) faced the Georgetown Hoyas (4–1–3, 0–0 Big East Conference) in another out-of-conference match up on Sunday.

When Presidential candidate Donald Trump said “they’re eating the dogs” on a national debate stage last week, my friends were so baffled at the absurdity of the falsehood that our initial reaction was simply to laugh. However, I found it far less amusing after spending more time on X and TikTok, where I was watching online post-debate discourse, and I learned that these outlandish claims were taken to heart by many. While gross falsehoods like these often feel far removed from the Orange Bubble, Princetonians cannot neglect the very tangible impact of disinformation on this election cycle.
