"They were given a contract they didn't even know about," Moreno said of the Panasonic deal with rival union SIAMARM. The dispute at Panasonic grew out of a vote last year in which workers rejected their union contract. Labor authorities then scheduled a vote April 21-22 for workers to choose between two other unions vying to take over the contract - SNITIS and SIAMARM. However, SNITIS says Panasonic signed a contract with SIAMARM ahead of the April election and began to withhold union dues from worker paychecks. SIAMARM, part of one of Mexico's biggest labor groups, the Confederation of Mexican Workers (CTM), could not be reached for comment.

Black men treated differentlyThe allegations against Anderson mirror those against disgraced USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar at Michigan State University and Richard Strauss at Ohio State University. This, she said, is often an issue when it comes to reporting issues like sexual abuse and murder. Gonczar has been spending time with Vaughn in his protest to show solidarity with abuse survivors at the University of Michigan. Gonczar now works as director of development at the Avalon Healing Center, which provides support for victims of sexual abuse. When Black men report that they have been victimized by others, “different stereotypes activate”, Curry added.

În schimb, vaccinurile de la Oxford University/AstraZeneca și Pfizer/BioNTech au fost dezvoltate folosind diferite „tehnologii de platformă” care implică încadrarea materialului genetic de la virus într-un pachet de livrare deja testat. „Tehnologia de platformă mRNA folosită de vaccinul Pfizer/BioNTech a fost în dezvoltare timp de peste 20 de ani”, a spus dr. Zoltán Kis, de la Imperial College London. Un alt aspect este că în timp ce dezvoltarea tradițională a vaccinurilor presupune studiile clinice să fie desfășurate într-o anumită ordine, în acest caz studiile clinice s-au suprapus, astfel că procesul a fost mult mai rapid. În cazul vaccinurilor împotriva COVID-19, procesul a fost accelerat de faptul că informațiile au fost trimise la autorități pe măsură ce erau obținute. Cum a reușit Marea Britanie să aprobe vaccinul înaintea Europei și a Statelor Unite?
