LOS ANGELES, Dec. 28 (Xinhua) -- The United States experienced surging labor strikes in 2024, with workers across various sectors staging protests over issues ranging from wages to working conditions. The nation witnessed 334 labor actions across 515 locations as of Friday, continuing an upward trend in strike activity in recent years, according to the Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations's Labor Action Tracker, a database of strike and labor protest activity. One of the year's most notable strikes occurred at Starbucks, where at least 5,000 workers from over 300 stores across 45 states walked off their jobs on Christmas Eve, according to their union Starbucks Workers United. The strike, the largest ever at the coffee chain, involved workers from 12 major cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and Seattle. Workers demanded higher wages and fair scheduling, while criticizing the company's executive compensation practices, particularly CEO Brian Niccol's 113 million U.S. dollar compensation package. Just days before the Starbucks walkout, Amazon faced what the striking workers called the largest-ever strike during the peak Christmas shopping season. While the labor union reported nearly 10,000 workers joining the movement for higher wages and improved workplace safety, Amazon disputed these figures, claiming that the striking workers aren't even Amazon employees. The manufacturing sector was also affected when approximately 33,000 Boeing machinists launched a seven-week strike in September. Their union accepted a contract offer in November and the striking workers returned to work. The strike, involving workers who assemble the bestselling 737 Max airliner in Washington, added to Boeing's challenges in a turbulent year. Maritime commerce faced major disruption in October when nearly 50,000 members of the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) struck against East and Gulf Coast ports, affecting the flow of imports and exports from Maine to Texas. The hospitality industry wasn't spared from labor actions, as about 10,000 hotel workers struck across several major tourist destinations in September. The walkout impacted 24 hotels operated by Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt in cities including San Francisco, San Diego, Honolulu, Boston, and Seattle. The hotel workers' union, Unite Here, highlighted understaffing issues, with three staff members often doing the work meant for four. Several factors contributed to the surge in labor activism. The U.S. Department of Labor reported a doubling of union representation petitions from 1,638 in fiscal 2021 to 3,286 in fiscal 2024. "Unions continue to be more popular than at any time since the 1960s, with 70 percent public approval," said the Labor Notes, an organization and network for rank-and-file union members and grassroots labor activists. In addition, economic conditions played a crucial role in driving labor actions. The unemployment rate remained low, giving workers more leverage in negotiations. The rise of remote work and concerns about technological displacement have added new dimensions to labor negotiations, as workers seek protection against job losses due to automation and artificial intelligence advancement. These issues have become particularly pressing in industries undergoing rapid technological transformation. This was especially evident in the recent port workers' dispute, where automation became a central issue. The ILA said automation at ports would cost some members their jobs. Besides, reform movements in labor unions have also led to effective strike threats. With a Jan. 15 deadline looming to resolve the automation dispute at East and Gulf Coast ports, tensions remain high, raising the possibility of another significant port disruption in the new year.

In Gaza's crowded tent camps, women wrestle with a life stripped of privacyActress Michelle Keegan and her husband Mark Wright have joyfully announced they are expecting their first child together. The former Coronation Street star, 37, married the TOWIE favourite back in May 2015 and nearly a decade later, they're embarking on the journey of parenthood while both their careers continue to flourish. On Sunday evening, the couple took to Instagram to share the news with their followers. "2025 is going to be a special one for us... [baby emoji. love heart emoji]," read the caption of a post that featured a picture of Michelle lovingly holding her baby bump on a beach, with Mark adoringly looking on. James Argent, Mark's best mate, was quick to comment, expressing his happiness for the couple and his excitement about becoming an uncle. Former Corrie actress Georgia May also chimed in with her congratulations. This joyful announcement comes after years of relentless speculation from fans and family about when the couple would start a family. In 2020, Michelle revealed that her loved ones had finally stopped asking her about plans for a baby. "I get asked about children whereas Mark wouldn't for example," she told Women's Health. Michelle went on to express her frustration: "Why haven't I had a child? When am I going to have a child? ' I don't know what they want me to say. I don't know what the right or wrong answer is.", reports the Mirror . When asked if her family still posed the grating question, she laughed and said: "Not any more! ... People don't mean any harm by it, but they know what the answer's going to be." The 'Fool Me Once' star has previously spoken out about the negative impact of being persistently questioned on when she plans to start a family, describing such unsolicited queries as 'horrible'. In a candid chat with The Mirror, discussing baby-related interrogations, she commented: "It's horrible. People don't know if we're trying. They don't know the background of what's happening. It's not appropriate to ask those sorts of questions anymore. You would think people would realise that. I'm asked purely because I'm a woman. But it doesn't affect me like it used to – these days, it just triggers an automatic response where I push it aside because it's nobody's business." Back in 2018, Michelle shared with Women's Health her aspirations, saying: "I've always been broody. I love kids, and I want four, so hopefully in the near future." Her spouse Mark, also aged 37, had mentioned to The Sun: "We say we're going to try [for a baby] every year but something comes up with work." "So it'll be Michelle filming in South Africa and then I got the job in Los Angeles – so we think, right, we'll try next year. With kids, I used to want three or four. But now, I'm 31, we're not having kids any time before 32. I think we could have two or three. Twins would be great because you're getting two out of the way at once." Michelle and Mark were both inundated with unsolicited comments about when they would start a family in April 2023, after the former TOWIE star posted an endearing photo of the couple holding their tiny premature nephew on social media. The image, which showed Dustin Wright, who arrived 12 weeks early, peacefully sleeping in Michelle's embrace while she and Mark smiled for the camera, prompted a barrage of questions from Instagram users curious about when the pair would have children of their own. The celebrity duo, Mark and Michelle, first crossed paths during separate vacations in Dubai at the close of 2012. They made their romance public at the National Television Awards in January 2013, quickly becoming a glamorous item in the entertainment world. Merely nine months into their confirmed relationship, the love-struck pair returned to Dubai where Mark proposed, leading to Michelle's affirmative response. Mark Wright opened up to The Mirror following his engagement, saying: "I've got now, for the first time in my life, what I've always wanted and what every boy dreams of – affection in a relationship, love, best friend, a girl I fancy... everything rolled into one." The couple then exchanged vows at St Mary's Church in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, before celebrating with a grand reception at Hengrave Hall, a Tudor mansion. A year on from their beautiful wedding, Michelle Keegan's role on Our Girl took her to locations such as South East Asia and South Africa for filming, resulting in a long-distance relationship. Meanwhile, former TOWIE star Mark landed his 'dream' job in America as a presenter for E!, splitting his time between Essex and Los Angeles. Discussing the challenges of being apart on the Jonathan Ross show, Michelle said: "We were apart for about four months. It was really tough. People said how did you deal with it and stuff. Thank god for FaceTime and things like that. You're on a countdown the whole time just to get home. I had six months off when I went home, so I went to America." After leaving Our Girl in 2019 and Mark ending his American gig, the couple returned to Essex, where they spent considerable time renovating their dream home before moving into their luxurious mansion.
Originally appeared on E! Online Kristin Cavallari is kissing and telling about her experience dating Morgan Wallen. "The Hills" alum shared NSFW details about her past romance with the country star, more than a month after seemingly confirming they had at one point been involved. "He's a great f--- buddy," Cavallari said on the Dec. 29 episode of Bunnie XO's "Dumb Blonde" podcast. "He was good in bed." Wallen, 31, has not commented on the "Very Cavallari" star's remarks. Cavallari also shared details about her first date with the "Love Somebody" singer, who, she added, is a "good guy" with a "big heart." "The first date that we went on, he was a true gentleman," the 37-year-old told Bunnie, "and he was like, 'I'll pick you up, I'll pick the place,' like, just f---ing handled business." Cavallari, who shares children Camden, 12, Jaxon, 10, and Saylor, 8 with ex-husband Jay Cutler , said Wallen did indeed pick her up and met her kids before they went out. "My kids were so excited," Cavallari said. "It was so cute." READ Kristin Cavallari Admits She's in Her "Villain Era" After Dating Confessions She said that Wallen got the two a private room at the venue they visited, without naming it, and that they were accompanied by his bodyguard. The singer later dropped her off, she said. But the date did not end there. "He kissed me in the rain," she said, "and it was the sweetest thing." CAvallari did not specify when the date occurred or how long their romance lasted. She also said she has not spoken to him in "probably a year." "But," she added, "I have nothing but good things to say about him." In November, more than a month after confirming her breakup from Montana Boyz TikToker Mark Estes and amid romance rumors about her and Wallen, Cavallari seemingly admitted that she had dated the 2025 Grammy nominee . In a video posted on her social media, she and BFF Justin Anderson took part in a viral trend in which people call out truths about one another. In the clip, Cavallari is seen jogging as her friend is heard saying, "Suspect let Morgan Wallen hurt her feelings, and she kept going back." She bursts out laughing and covers her mouth in response. On Bunnie's podcast, Cavallari offered some context into the claim. "God, I'm so sorry, Morgan. He didn't hurt my feelings," she began. "I'll be honest with you — Morgan was the first guy in my entire f---ing like that wasn't just completely enamored with me. And I was like, 'What in the f--- is going on?' It really threw me." The "Uncommon James" founder added, "I love having the upper hand and I feel like with him, I didn't have the upper hand. The only time in my life. So it really f---ed with me."Flashback: Bitcoin at $93
How do Americans feel about Luigi Mangione? Poll finds generational and gender divideMany of us are guilty of being chained to our desk chairs during the day and to the sofa during the evenings, but what impact could this have on our health later down the line? The cold and dark weather dramatically decreases the appeal of exercise this time of year, however gentle movements little and often could do wonders for our health. Advertisement So, what are the health risks of sitting down too much? And how often should we be moving our bodies? What signs might indicate you are sitting down too much? Our bodies are not designed to sit still for long periods (Alamy/PA) Advertisement “Signs that we are sitting too much might include joint pain and stiffness, particularly in the back and neck, and muscular pain and tightness, particularly in the shoulders, at the back of the knees and muscles at the front of the hips,” says Laura Mould, lead physiotherapist at Nuffield Health Leeds Hospital . “Low energy levels, fatigue and difficulty concentrating can also be related to inactivity.” Sitting down for too long may also exacerbate symptoms from existing conditions. “People with long-term health conditions such as arthritis, breathing conditions or circulation problems might find that sitting increases symptoms such as joint stiffness, breathlessness and leg swelling,” adds Mould. How does sitting down too much impact our bones and muscles? Advertisement Bones Sitting down too much affects our bones as well as our posture (Alamy/PA) “Sitting can make your bones weaker and eventually lead to osteoporosis and risk of fracture,” says Clara Kervyn, physiotherapist from the joint and muscle care specialists Deep Heat and Deep Freeze . “Sitting puts significant stress on the spine and can lead to compression of the discs in the spine. Advertisement “Spinal issues can cause significant pain and eventually immobility.” Being sedentary can also have a negative impact on our posture. “When we sit we often have bad posture as we tend to slouch, so make sure you sit right,” advises Kervyn. “Stop slouching and sit upright with feet flat on the floor and screens at eye level.” Muscles Advertisement “Sitting can cause the large muscles in your legs and glutes to weaken and waste away,” warns Kervyn. “These muscles are essential for walking, keeping your balance and generally stabilising your body. “Sitting can also tighten hip flexors, which can lead to problems with your hip joints.” Is it OK to sit down more as we age? We tend to sit down more after we retire (Alamy/PA) Moving your body regularly during retirement can help keep you healthy, mobile and independent. “We lose muscle much faster as we age and weakening muscles exacerbated by sitting down can lead to sarcopenia,” highlights Kervyn. “Eventually an old person may have difficulty getting out of bed and out of a chair potentially leading to the need for carers sooner.” How often should we move our body throughout the day? Go for a short walk (Alamy/PA) “Little and often is the key if you have a sedentary lifestyle or find yourself stuck at your desk,” advises Laura Stocks, physiotherapy quality lead at Nuffield Health . “Getting up from the desk and taking a little walk around can really help to reduce stiff joints and tight muscles. “Movement is key to musculoskeletal health and it is very important we exercise to maintain this part of health as we age.” Here are 3 gentle exercises you can do during the day... 1. Ankle rotations View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kim | Mobility & Pilates Strength Specialist (@mobilityfocuspilates) “While seated, lift your feet off the ground and rotate your ankles in circular motions in the same direction, five times one way and the same the other way,” instructs Olly Banks, personal trainer at Fitness First . “Repeat this motion three times. “This exercise helps to stimulate blood flow in your lower legs and feet, preventing stiffness and promoting circulation.” 2. Leg extensions “Extend one leg out in front of you and flex your foot, then bring it back down,” says Banks. “Repeat with the other leg and keep going back and forth a few times. “Leg extensions are a simple move that can prevent annoying stiffness in your legs, particularly if you’ve been sitting for long periods of time.” 3. Fast feet “Lift your heels off the floor so you’re on the balls of your feet, then quickly alternate between tapping your heels up and down, like you’re running on the spot,” says Banks. “Do this for 10 seconds before resting for 5 seconds and repeating 10 times. “This rapid movement helps to activate your calf muscles and pump blood back up towards your heart, giving your circulation a boost.”
