Proud to sign legislation today ensuring students understand the history of the labor movement and safeguarding the freedom of employees to make their own choices at work without coercion.
These bills reinforce our commitment to honoring the role of organized labor. www.nj.gov/governor/new...

A fun thing to remember on Labour Day is that Mark Carney eliminated the Cabinet role Minister of Labour, a position that had existed for more than a century under governments of all stripes, and Canada is currently without a labour minister for the first time since 1909.

So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?
So apparently, it may turn out that The Wizard of Oz at the Las Vegas Sphere wasn’t entirely made in AI and Google threw the VFX crew under the bus by claiming it was all done by artificial intelligence.
If true, then fucking yikes.

The strike is OVER and the Canadian media is STILL running stories about how the evil postal worker strike is hurting small businesses.
And of course there's no mention of WHY the workers were striking, because then the public might actually side with them.
