1. Trump administration proposes H-1B visa fee above $100,000
-- The administration moved to impose a fee exceeding $100,000 on H-1B worker visas, Reuters reported Monday.
-- Such a steep charge would raise hiring costs for U.S. technology companies and could redirect skilled workers toward competing labor markets.
2. Zillow settles FTC case over alleged payment to curb Redfin competition
-- Zillow settled Federal Trade Commission claims that it paid Redfin to stop competing in apartment listings, according to Reuters.
-- The resolution increases antitrust legal exposure for digital platforms that use commercial agreements to narrow competition and consumer choice.
3. Washington Post ordered to reinstate columnist Karen Attiah
-- An arbitrator ordered the Washington Post to reinstate columnist Karen Attiah, the New York Times reported, according to Reuters.
-- Reinstatement limits management's legal latitude in similar employment disputes and reinforces the practical force of newsroom labor protections.
4. Australia plans mandatory power and water standards for data centers
-- Australia will legislate a national standard governing data centers' electricity and water use, Bloomberg reported Monday.
