☆ Boeing machinists to vote on new proposal with 35% raises that could end strike

People hold sings during a strike rally for the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) at the Seattle Union Hall in Seattle, Washington, on October 15, 2024. Boeing and its machinists' union have reached a new contract proposal, the union said Saturday, outlining a deal that could end a more than month-long strike that has hobbled the manufacturers' aircraft production. The strike began Sept. 13 after more than 30,000 machinists overwhelmingly rejected a tentative agreement that included 25% wage increases over four years. Boeing later made a sweetened offer but the union blasted it saying it was not negotiated. "We look forward to our employees voting on the negotiated proposal," Boeing said in a statement.

Drug overdose deaths fell 12.7% in the 12 months ending in May, according to preliminary data released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “This is the largest recorded reduction in overdose deaths,” White House officials said in a statement.

In 2023, 3,046 people in the city died of a drug overdose, according to its health officials. That’s a 1% decrease from 2022 and the city’s first drop in overdose deaths since 2018.

A police officer risked his life to carry out the daring rescue of a man suffering a "mental health crisis" from train tracks, seconds before a train rushed past. Seconds later the man slips and falls 25 feet onto the tracks, sustaining serious injuries. Two officers then go onto the tracks, as an oncoming train sounds its horn, pulling him to safety just as it passes. "Policemen on the lower platform ran across the tracks to rescue the man while a train approached them at high speeds. An officer dragged the man to safety, risking his life, with only seconds to spare," SPD said on Facebook.

The anxiety abated for a bit when Vice President Kamala Harris replaced him on the ticket and her poll numbers spiked. With Harris' numbers stagnant now for weeks, many Democrats are once again fretting that the election is slipping away and that Donald Trump may yet regain power. Harris appears to be OK with the collective jitters, recognizing that if Democrats fear they might lose, they're more apt to show up at the polls and help her win. Polling shows that neither Harris nor Trump has built a lead outside the margin of error. Claims that Harris is an underdog amount to “a liberal plot to get us overconfident on the Trump side,” he added.
