Sandhu, 37, started using Convoy in 2020 to find jobs for his one-rig trucking business in Kent, Washington. Convoy's app, a kind of Uber for cargo, let Sandhu bid on freight from local companies more efficiently and often at a better price than through traditional freight brokers. Within a year, Sandhu was so busy hauling Convoy loads that he bought a second truck and hired a second driver. By last October, Sandh...

Professional golf appeared poised to end 2023 with the PGA Tour and LIV Golf in lockstep after two years of animosity, attrition, ill will and legal action. A framework agreement announced in June and was set for approval on Sunday aimed to conjoin two warring tours, along with the DP World (European) Tour. The PGA Tour, DP World Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund extended the self-imposed deadline for the new venture tentatively called PGA Tour Enterprises. Whatever happens, questions will remain. During the Dec. 16-17 PNC Championship in Orlando, several of the top golfers in rec...

NEW YORK — Gov. Kathy Hochul, who has often cast herself as a fierce ally of workers, has vetoed major labor legislation that would have banned noncompete agreements in New York State.
