Thousands of striking Boeing workers on Monday were voting on a new labor deal that, if approved, would end a seven-week strike that analysts say is costing the company tens of millions of dollars each day. Roughly 33,000 machinists walked off the job in the Seattle and Portland, Ore., areas in September, stalling operations at factories where Boeing manufactures most of its commercial planes. In October, workers rejected a second tentative labor contract by a wide margin, just after the plane maker reported a $6.1 billion quarterly loss. Here’s what else to know about the latest developments in the company’s first strike since 2008:How many workers are on strike? The contract that spurred the ongoing strike covers about a fifth of the company’s employees.

A family businessThis picture shows Illinois Senator Dave Koehler with teenager Shreya Nallamothu, who helped inspire new legislation protecting child influencers. Although children are predominantly featured in these monetized videos, parents have had no legal obligation to give them any portion of the earnings. “But we know with the explosion of social media that parents are using it to monetize kids being on videos. That California law required parents to set aside a portion of 15% of child earnings in a blocked trust account that the child actor could access after the age of 18. “Even though Illinois is the first state to pass such a law, this legislation is a long time coming,” Maddox said.

Ipsos polling reveals that Americans don't want to see an end to the legality of medication abortion.

The Ipsos survey revealed that 65% of respondents wanted to see medication abortion remain available as an option, with 84% support among Democrats and 67% support among Independents.
