An attendee holds a "Support Amazon Teamsters" sign during a rally with workers and union members as part of an "Amazon Teamsters Day of Solidarity" in support of the unionization and collective bargaining of Amazon delivery drivers at the Teamsters Local 848 in Long Beach, California, on Aug. 29, 2024. Hundreds of Amazon delivery drivers at one of the company's New York facilities joined the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the union announced Monday, marking the latest escalation of organizing efforts in its logistics network. The drivers work for Cornucopia Logistics, DNA Logistics and Champion Logistics, a Teamsters spokesperson said. A majority of drivers at each of the contracted firms signed authorization cards to join the Teamsters, the union said in a release. Last week, Amazon announced it was hiking wages for contracted delivery workers as part of a $2.1 billion investment into the program.

In an aerial view, Amazon delivery trucks sit parked at an Amazon distribution center on July 16, 2024 in Richmond, California. Amazon is bumping its average national pay for contracted delivery drivers to roughly $22 an hour, up from $20.50 an hour, the company said Thursday. The Teamsters union has led a number of strikes at Amazon delivery facilities in the past year, and it's made organizing Amazon employees a key focus after launching a division dedicated to the online retail giant in 2021. Amazon has fought to avoid being designated as a joint employer of its contracted delivery drivers, arguing that the workers are employed by third-party firms.

Soon after, the mother’s syphilis test — given to all women before delivery — came back positive. In 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported more than 200,000 syphilis cases — the highest counts since 1950. Spreading the word about syphilisSome public health departments have launched eye-popping awareness campaigns, trying to raise the alarm among both the public and health care providers. Make syphilis testing convenientBeyond greater awareness, access to testing and treatment needs to be quick, easy and convenient, Chokshi said. But permanently bending the syphilis curve will require scaling these efforts nationally and promoting greater coordination between health care and public health.

Now Etsy CEO Josh Silverman wants the company, whose stated mission is to "keep commerce human," to get back to its roots. The company on Tuesday is launching a major overhaul of the policies that govern its site to make it "crystal clear" to shoppers what products belong on Etsy, Silverman said in an interview with CNBC. The changes include new labels on its website and app to show how each seller created a particular item. "We're positioning ourselves to answer the call for original goods and real people by dialing up the things that make Etsy, Etsy," Silverman said. In December, Etsy laid off 11% of its workforce, with Silverman citing the "very challenging macro and competitive environment" as reasons for the cuts.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A federal appeals court has ruled that Maine must release its voter list to a conservative-backed group that’s conducting independent audits, concluding that state restrictions on distributing the list violated the National Voter Registration Act. The Public Interest Legal Foundation sued Maine over its decision to prevent the wholesale release of voter registration lists without restrictions, such as prohibiting the information from being published online. Organization spokesperson Lauren Bowman said the group sued to ensure its researchers can compare voter rolls in one state against those in another and that it had no intention of publishing the rolls. State election officials and privacy advocates have raised alarms about a push by several conservative groups to access state voter rolls, fearing that the lists could be used to intimidate voters or cancel registrations. “We will do everything in our power in accordance with the law and court decision to protect voter information from abuse," Bellows said.

"Since the shipment is not large, I believe that Vision Pro will sell out soon after the release," Kuo wrote on X.

Struggling to energize his campaign, DeSantis this week privately encouraged his donor network to support a newly formed super PAC that's taking over advertising responsibilities. The super PAC has also paid for the bulk of his TV ads and almost all of his organizing. On Aug. 8, the DeSantis campaign announced a staff shakeup, replacing its campaign manager and hiring Polyansky from the super PAC to serve as deputy campaign manager. Polyansky is an Iowa campaign veteran who has worked on several presidential campaigns in the state. DeSantis spokesman Andrew Romeo said it was “totally false” to assert that DeSantis coordinated any campaign strategy with the super PAC.

In her first year at Amazon .com, Beryl Tomay made a software code change for Amazon’s order-confirmation page that caused it to appear blank for customers for over an hour. Later on, she made a change to the database of the Kindle e-reader that prevented users from signing in or downloading anything. That error was so large that Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s founder, noticed and emailed to ask about the problem. Today, Tomay is in charge of a crucial part of Amazon that is in its busiest period right now: She oversees businesses and technology at the company’s “last mile” delivery unit—the logistics business that gets packages through the final steps on their way to customers’ doorsteps.

Hong Kong CNN —China has accused Canada of carrying out “malicious and provocative” actions in the South China Sea, after the Canadian Navy said Chinese fighter jets endangered a helicopter in two close intercepts above international waters. However, the Canadian helicopter not only refused to respond, but also took provocative actions such as flying at ultra-low altitudes,” Zhang said in a statement posted on the ministry’s website. China claims historic jurisdiction over almost the entirety of the vast South China Sea, which is a resource rich and vital international shipping route. In 2016, an international tribunal in The Hague concluded that China has no legal basis to claim historic rights to the bulk of the South China Sea. In mid-October, a Chinese fighter jet came within 5 meters (16 feet) of a Canadian CP-140 reconnaissance and surveillance plane over the East China Sea.
