Janitors' union called a strike at Twitter, Musk canceled its contract and fired janitors​

LINK

Janitors hired to clean at Twitter headquarters in San Francisco, California, protested after 20 employees were fired, so the social media company bought by Elon Musk fired the rest of them.

Critics of Musk are outraged that he would fire the workers just weeks before Christmas.

“Our cleaning contractor at Twitter was told by Twitter that they are cutting the contract,” said Olga Miranda, union president for the janitors. “So we have about 48 families out of work. And it just so happens that it's three weeks before Christmas.”

A representative from SEIU Local 87 told the New Republic that 20 janitors were told on Friday that they were fired with no notice and that they were fighting for wages, "benefits and job protections."

By Monday, the union organized a strike with the rest of the janitors against the firings, saying the company was violating local cleaning regulations. They also said they were locked out of the building.

On Tuesday, Twitter cancelled the contract with the janitors, leading his critics to claim that he was in violation of local laws.

The unemployed janitors are protesting in front of Twitter headquarters while holding signs that read “proud to be union” and “justice for janitors."

SCOTUS hearing Moore v. Harper arguments today. This is a big deal.​

The issue: The case concerns the elections clause in Article I, section 4 of the Constitution and whether state legislatures alone are empowered by the Constitution to regulate federal elections without oversight from state courts. Click here to learn more about the case's background.
The questions presented: "Whether a State's judicial branch may nullify the regulations governing the "Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives . . . prescribed . . . by the Legislature thereof," U.S. CONST. art. I, § 4, cl. 1, and replace them with regulations of the state courts' own devising, based on vague state constitutional provisions purportedly vesting the state judiciary with power to prescribe whatever rules it deems appropriate to ensure a "fair" or "free" election."[1]
The outcome: The appeal is pending adjudication before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Why it matters: If the court rules in favor of the petitioners, the power and authority to regulate federal elections would become more concentrated in state legislatures and with the federal judiciary in the event of appellate review. When the case was granted, Republicans controlled 54.10% of all state legislative seats nationally, while Democrats held 44.32%. Republicans held a majority in 62 chambers, and Democrats held the majority in 36 chambers. One chamber (Alaska House) was organized under a multipartisan, power-sharing coalition.[2]

You can wait. It goes by fast. Also, then, you'll be up until 430 worrying wondering where the little fucker is at. I would trade those days for the youngster up at 430 days in a heartbeat.

PS Why did she move the nose ring to the other nostril?

One of those is a digital picture taken in mirror mode, from a webcam or from a selfie cam on certain phones, the other is a picture someone took of her because she can probably no longer operate a camera herself.

What is more interesting is the missing tattoos.
