The Fair Work Commission has agreed to allow workers across multiple McDonald’s franchises to bargain collectively.
5,100 workers across 18 South Australian McDonald's franchises will now be able to bargain together to improve their pay and conditions, thanks to a case brought by the SDA union.

Why doesn't #AI have a social license? One part (not the whole part) is the substantial amount of time, energy, and resources being dedicated by some within the tech sector to developing AI for mass labour displacement, with no care or regard to what happens to working people as a result.

No, his two (related) war aims are to stay in power and stay out of jail.
If the two aims specified below were accidentally achieved, he would need to find a new aim and likely a new war.

Netanyahu has two war aims: destroying Iran’s nuclear program and regime change. Are either achievable?

‘Mind-boggling stupidity’: The consultancy that captured universities
Nous Group has slowly taken over the university sector, filling VCs’ offices with ex-staff and buying ‘incredibly sensitive’ data that is sold back for benchmarking.
