Factory workers at one of Germany's biggest kebab factories have repeatedly stopped production for weeks in “warning strikes,” demanding a wage increase. They're also trying to organize a collective contract agreement for all employees. But, so far, the employer hasn't yielded to their demands.
Germans worry their beloved kebab may get more pricy or even scarce because of factory strike

Public media is one of those wildly imperfect, flawed, muddled institutions of American life that is far more beautiful and fortunately far tougher than people realize.

Hello just wanted to say:
Public media is a useful public good. It is a source of great local news at a time when local news is being decimated. Also, in my 10 years in public media, I can say people who work here do it because they believe in the mission of informing people.
Just noting.

Big Tech managed to bungle its way into a fight with Rs and Ds in the Senate in an amazingly small way.
They have refused to add C-SPAN to their streaming services like YouTube TV, Hulu, etc.
“Policymakers will not take kindly to unchecked selfishness.”
