Starbucks workers participated in a work stoppage & marched on their boss over unsafe store conditions, disrespectful treatment, + more. Managers and corporate have an incentive to save a buck & delay/ignore store problems. With a union, we have a way to make sure they listen 💪

Thousands of workers at Samsung Electronics, the world’s largest chip maker and Korea’s biggest company, have launched an indefinite strike. Originally planned as a three-day action, the strike has extended indefinitely after management refused to engage in talks with the workers. So far, over 6,540 members of the National Samsung Electronics Union (NSEU), the largest union at Samsung Electronics, have participated in the strike. The union represents about 30,000 workers, or 24% of all Samsung employees. The union’s demands include a 5.6% basic pay raise for all members, a guaranteed day off on the union’s founding day, and compensation for economic losses due to the strike. Despite Samsung’s claims that the strike has not impacted production, the union reports disruptions on chip lines and that some equipment is running slower.

Here are some interesting facts about the fire in Maui that should make you ask questions. The governor, emergency management admin, fire chief, lieutenant governor, and attorney general were not on the island when the fire broke out. So the 2 most critical emergency officials were AWOL. The emergency alert system also wasn't activated and there are 400 sirens all over the state. The only system they activated was the cellphone alerts, but those comms were down too for some people, with many residents reporting they had zero warnings, some reporting that officials and police told them to stay and they'd be safe just a few hours before engulfing the area. Lastly, they didn't have enough firefighters and equipment. Apparently there were only 60+ firefighters across the 3 islands, and the administrators said they didn't address the fires until they were already at the populated areas and unstoppable. The alarm bells of a conspiracy should be ringing in everyone's head right now.

IIT Bombay team inspecting road concretisation work in Mumbai last night. 🚨 IIT Bombay is the third party quality monitoring agency appointed by the BMC for nearly 700 kilometers of road concretisation work undertaken by the corporation. As per BMC, "the IIT Bombay team provided insights on tests to be conducted during concreting and suggested site-specific measures based on weather conditions and temperature changes. They recommended precise execution of groove cutting within 8 to 12 hours after concreting and discussed the appropriate use of mobile apps to study humidity, wind direction, and speed during the process. They also advised on improving concrete curing methods and demonstrated proper surface brooming techniques to skilled workers at the site."

NEW: Nick Cannon meets & prays with incarcerated firefighters who were called up to fight the LA fires. Nearly 1000 incarcerated firefighters are working around the clock to fight the fires, making about $10 a day with a $1 per hour incentive during emergencies (NBC). Some of the men said they liked the program because it was better than being in prison. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian are calling for pay raises, noting how they are risking their lives while getting paid almost nothing. "During emergencies, crews can work a 24-hour shift, followed by 24 hours of rest. For example, for one 24-hour shift during an active emergency, the lowest skill level would earn $26.90 per day," said California's Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

#Islamabad: #BritishCouncil #CambridgeExams Another Complaint. Case 2 #ChampAlertsOnTheGo #CAOTG Today 29/4/26 during the O Levels, A Levels, and IGCSE exams at Monal Marquee and Paradise Marquee, The management was extremely rude, and the invigilators had no idea about the students. Students were arriving and taking their seats, only to be told later that their exam wasn't even scheduled at that center. Parents had already left after dropping their children, and the students were left in panic. Some had to rush between venues, even using lifts, and there were girls among them facing serious distress. Exam centers were changed at the last moment without any prior notification or email. Students were being sent back and forth between Paradise and Monal. The distance and poor routes made it worse-students were panicking, and some were even fainting right in front of us. No one was ready to take responsibility or give proper answers. This was a whole year's hard work for these students. Outside, they were being told they would be given extra time, but that promise was not fulfilled. Negligence reported every year now. #ChampAlertsOnTheGo #CAOTG

NEW LONG FORM VIDEO: The rise and fall of Starbucks In August 2024, Starbucks fired their CEO after just 17 months and brought in Brian Niccol from Chipotle to turn things around. They were so eager for a fix that they agreed to cover his private jet commutes from Southern California to Seattle. Investors jumped at the change, and the stock shot up 24% on the news. Starbucks has long been a symbol of modern entrepreneurship. Since going public in 1992 at $17 a share, it’s grown an incredible 27,800%. This is the company that introduced America to the latte. But now, it's facing real challenges. With six straight quarters of same-store sales decline, people are asking: is this about oversaturation, rising competition, weak leadership, or something else? This video dives into the rise and fall of Starbucks.

VIDEO | Uttarakhand: Dismissing misinformation surrounding Nihang Sikhs over the 'Nagrasu Gurdwara standoff' in Rudraprayag, Garhwal Inspector General Rajiv Swaroop says, "The incident initially began as a dispute between the Nihang devotees and the management of the gurdwara where they were having langar. Following the argument, the management dialed 112, prompting an immediate response from the police. Upon seeing the police, some of the Nihang devotees panicked and locked themselves on the rooftop of the building. Multiple rounds of dialogue were held with them. This is primarily an internal dispute between the gurdwara management and the visiting Nihang devotees, and notably, the management members also belong to the Nihang community." "Our District Magistrate (DM) and Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) rushed to the spot, held talks, and counselled them. The situation is now completely peaceful. We are actively investigating the circumstances under which rumours were spread on social media, falsely linking this incident to the previous clash in Karnaprayag. This misinformation was intentionally created to cause confusion and with the malicious intent of disrupting the Char Dham and Hemkund Sahib Yatras. A thorough probe is underway, and strict legal action will be taken against those responsible." (Full video available on PTI Videos -

The RCMP suffered a major blow after 6 of their vehicles were damaged during a raid on a First Nations pot store in Nova Scotia. The police arrested 2 individuals but were swarmed by the community and had to temporarily abandon their vehicles. The cop cars had their tires slashed or stolen, windows smashed out, and were even urinated in. The Potlotek First Nation later said they were willing to work with the province to develop "community crafted" bylaws for the sale of cannabis. However, clear rules for weed sales already exists. Some want to have their cake and eat it too.

Bill Foege, one of my predecessors as CDC Director, once described his job during smallpox eradication in India with a phrase that sticks with me: “resident con man.” Not because the work wasn’t real—but because his job was to keep people believing we could do it, even when the obstacles were political, logistical, and relentless. That confidence—and the execution behind it—helped mobilize more than 200,000 health workers across 70+ countries to find more than 10 million contacts, vaccinate quickly, and eradicate smallpox forever. When he was asked, “What next?” after smallpox, he replied: “The eradication of bad management.” It’s a sharp line—and an important truth. In public health (and in any complex organization), success isn’t just about having the right evidence. It’s about clear priorities, competent management, and the discipline to turn strategy into action.

Xi praises delivery workers' hard work #XiJinping #XiStory A heartwarming exchange at a canteen in Beijing offers a vivid example of President Xi Jinping's long-standing concern for the working people. Earlier this year, a bowl of noodles became a part of an unforgettable moment for Jia Yacan, a delivery rider in Beijing. During a short break between the morning and afternoon rush hours, Jia was having brunch at a community canteen for seniors in Xicheng district when President Xi Jinping walked in. Jia recalled that he was the first to notice Xi, who was visiting the canteen during an inspection tour ahead of Spring Festival, and quickly rose to greet him. "I was stunned. I never thought I would see the president while having a meal," Jia said. Xi's questions were simple and warm. He asked what kind of noodles Jia had ordered and how much they cost. Jia replied that it was 14.4 yuan ($2.11) for a bowl, after the discount for workers in new forms of employment, like himself, compared with the regular price of 18 yuan. Xi's concern went far beyond one meal. He asked two other delivery workers resting at the canteen how long they had been on the job, whether the work was tiring, how much they earned, and whether they would return home for Spring Festival. "You've worked hard to meet the needs of countless households, and the city couldn't function without workers like you. I hope you all can lead good lives and work well," Xi told them, while urging Party committees and governments at all levels to care for workers in new forms of employment and provide quality services for their work, daily life and study. #WorkersDay2026 #InternationalLabourDay

Brazilian authorities have uncovered 163 🇨🇳 workers employed in ‘slavery-like conditions’ at a construction site for an electric vehicle factory — to be operational by Mar 2025 — owned by 🇨🇳 BYD in Bahia state. The workers were hired in China and brought to Brazil irregularly by BYD’s contractor Jinjiang Construction Brazil Ltd, violating labor laws. The workers endured excessive hours, often laboring 7 days a week in dangerous conditions, and lived in degrading accommodations. Many had their passports confiscated, and some required permission to leave their lodgings. Even the minimum safety conditions were allegedly not being met in the work environment, violating Brazilian laws designed to safeguard human dignity and protect against forced labor and debt bondage. The workers lived in four facilities in Camaçari city. At one such facility, workers were made to sleep on beds without mattresses. Each bathroom was also shared among 31 workers, forcing them to get up extremely early in order to be ready for work. "The conditions found in the lodgings revealed an alarming picture of precariousness and degradation.” BYD claims it has severed ties with Jinjiang Construction Brazil Ltd, and pledged to safeguard the rights of all subcontracted workers. The company has announced plans to relocate the workers to hotels. The factory was set to be BYD's first EV plant outside of Asia.

#WATCH | Ranchi, Jharkhand: On students' protest over examination issues and the severe weather situation in the state, State Minister Irfan Ansari says, “…The matter is certainly progressing. The Chief Minister has constituted the committee; K. Raju has set it up, and we have opened the door for dialogue. Talks will take place; we will listen to your demands, and if they are reasonable, we will certainly accept them. A golden opportunity has been provided for the students. They are our students, our children. I am aware that you are in distress. However, the BJP's visit there is beyond comprehension. They are playing politics; if they were truly well-wishers, they should have been in Delhi… What does the BJP know about pain? They only want politics. We oppose this.” He adds on the weather situation in the state, “I have gone into high-alert mode. I have instructed all Deputy Commissioners (DCs) and written letters asking for details on the incidents in each district, specifically regarding loss of life and property, and the number of casualties. Once the report arrives, we will reach out to the affected people. We will ensure that the financial assistance provided under the Disaster Management Department reaches them within a week.”

Bestie Q&A: @jason breaks down what happened to all those "Day in My Life Working in Tech" TikToks... During peak ZIRP (late 2020-early 2022), these kinds of videos were all over TikTok and Instagram They mostly showed off amazing perks... and very little work Jason's take: "These companies historically provided perks because they recognized that their employees were working on important things and sacrificing." "They were working 10, 11, 12 hours a day and coming in on the weekend." "If you have an employee who is that dedicated, the least you can do is buy them lunch or dinner." "Then, another generation came into these companies and cluelessly thought that they were entitled to these perks, simply for having a business card that had the name Google on it." "They poked the bear. It infuriated management at these companies." "And what happened is all those people got laid off." Jason's tech entitlement cycle: -- Hard problems create strong team members -- Strong team members create insane profits -- Insane profits create massive entitlement "And now, with the layoffs, we're back to strong team members solving important problems in the world... and the cycle starts anew."

Britain colonized Nigeria after the transatlantic slave trade became more of a burden than a source of profit. The empire’s focus shifted from human trafficking to extracting raw materials for British industry and imposing a captive market for manufactured goods, ensuring capital accumulation and profit. Infrastructure, especially railways, was not built for the people but to transport raw materials from the interior to the ports for export. These trains needed fuel. The British Imperial Institute conducted mineral surveys in Northern and Southern Nigeria in 1903 and 1904 to identify exploitable natural resources beyond existing agricultural products. They discovered vast coal deposits in Onitsha Province, present-day Enugu State. At the turn of the twentieth century, coal was to capitalism what oil is today it powered industry, railways, and maritime transport. Local coal exploitation in Britain had already fueled its industrial revolution. In 1915 and 1917, the colonial administration acquired land from Ngwo community chiefs “without charge” and began production immediately: 7,000 tons in 1915, 24,000 tons in 1916, and quadrupling the following year. By 1929, annual output had reached 364,000 tons, most of it used to power railways. But coal extraction required human labor, and the colonial regime initially relied on forced labor, conscripting prisoners and poor peasants. Many farmers resisted leaving their lands to work in mines without prior experience. Local warrant chiefs collaborated with the colonial authorities, extorting bribes from those trying to avoid conscription, while the colonial police protected these corrupt collaborators much like today’s authorities protect entrenched elites against the masses. As labor demand grew, the colonialists turned to wage labor, recruiting workers from other regions, who primarily worked underground digging coal, while non-local recruits filled clerical and technical roles a deliberate strategy to prevent workers’ unity. The Great Depression of 1929 halted coal expansion. Demand fell, and by 1934 production dropped to 120,000 tons. Wages were cut, forcing workers to bear the brunt of this global capitalist crisis. With only one union in Nigeria by 1930bthe Nigeria Civil Service Union, formed in 1912 workers began organizing. Over the next decade, at least a dozen new unions emerged, including among coal miners, who protested wage cuts and poor conditions. By the late 1930s, coal production recovered, but wages did not. Workers launched a dispute in 1937 to restore pre-1931 salaries and won. In response, management created ethnically divided advisory councils, but these failed to contain workers’ growing solidarity. In the 1940s, coal miners formed unions, including the Enugu Workers Trade Union in 1940 and the Enugu Colliery Surface Improvement Union in 1941. These merged in 1944 to form the Colliery Workers Union (CWU), led by Isaiah Okwudili Ojiyi, a former teacher respected for his knowledge of labor law and his deep ties to the rank-and-file a key lesson: genuine union leadership must emerge from the workforce itself. The CWU demanded better wages and working conditions. Management initially refused to negotiate, leading to dismissals, the hiring of replacement workers, and the banning of the union, while reintroducing ethnic councils. The union continued underground, raising worker consciousness. Its legitimacy came from the workers, not government recognition. After World War II, workers’ anger grew as living conditions worsened. They demanded a Cost-of-Living Allowance (COLA), sparking Nigeria’s first General Strike from June to August 1945. CWU activists coordinated local actions, strengthening worker confidence. Workers rejected ethnic councils and pushed management to recognize the union, eventually winning wage arrears and restored allowances after further go-slow strikes in 1947 and 1948.

In 1915 and 1917, the colonial administration acquired land from Ngwo community chiefs “without charge” and began production immediately: 7,000 tons in 1915, 24,000 tons in 1916, and quadrupling the following year. By 1929, annual output had reached 364,000 tons, most of it used to power railways. But coal extraction required human labor, and the colonial regime initially relied on forced labor, conscripting prisoners and poor peasants. Many farmers resisted leaving their lands to work in mines without prior experience. Local warrant chiefs collaborated with the colonial authorities, extorting bribes from those trying to avoid conscription, while the colonial police protected these corrupt collaborators much like today’s authorities protect entrenched elites against the masses. As labor demand grew, the colonialists turned to wage labor, recruiting workers from other regions, who primarily worked underground digging coal, while non-local recruits filled clerical and technical roles a deliberate strategy to prevent workers’ unity. The Great Depression of 1929 halted coal expansion. Demand fell, and by 1934 production dropped to 120,000 tons. Wages were cut, forcing workers to bear the brunt of this global capitalist crisis. With only one union in Nigeria by 1930bthe Nigeria Civil Service Union, formed in 1912 workers began organizing. Over the next decade, at least a dozen new unions emerged, including among coal miners, who protested wage cuts and poor conditions. By the late 1930s, coal production recovered, but wages did not. Workers launched a dispute in 1937 to restore pre-1931 salaries and won. In response, management created ethnically divided advisory councils, but these failed to contain workers’ growing solidarity. In the 1940s, coal miners formed unions, including the Enugu Workers Trade Union in 1940 and the Enugu Colliery Surface Improvement Union in 1941. These merged in 1944 to form the Colliery Workers Union (CWU), led by Isaiah Okwudili Ojiyi, a former teacher respected for his knowledge of labor law and his deep ties to the rank-and-file a key lesson: genuine union leadership must emerge from the workforce itself. The CWU demanded better wages and working conditions. Management initially refused to negotiate, leading to dismissals, the hiring of replacement workers, and the banning of the union, while reintroducing ethnic councils. The union continued underground, raising worker consciousness. Its legitimacy came from the workers, not government recognition. After World War II, workers’ anger grew as living conditions worsened. They demanded a Cost-of-Living Allowance (COLA), sparking Nigeria’s first General Strike from June to August 1945. CWU activists coordinated local actions, strengthening worker confidence. Workers rejected ethnic councils and pushed management to recognize the union, eventually winning wage arrears and restored allowances after further go-slow strikes in 1947 and 1948.

Locals built a private unpaved bridge using their own money in a village in Basti, UP. Aslam, Ishrak, and Naushad were riding their bikes on the bridge then locals warned them not to do so, saying the bridge might collapse and they could get hurt. The youths got furious and told the locals to “just wait for 15 minutes" — they then returned with a mob of over 50 people. When they found no one there, they attacked the nearby temple, breaking some murtis and temple walls. The police delayed registering the FIR and arrested the accused only after protests by Hindu groups. However, they were reportedly released within 24 hours.
