Boeing machinists approve contract, bringing an end to a bruising seven-week strike

Boeing strike endsBoeing machinists voted to approve a contract offer on Monday, closing the book on a bruising strike that lasted more than 53 days.

The agreement, which had the backing of the union’s leadership, was approved by 59% of members who voted.

“This is a victory,” said Jon Holden, the president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 751, as he announced the results late Monday night at the union’s hall in Seattle. “We can hold our heads high. We all stood strong, and we achieved something that we hadn’t achieved the last 22 years.”

The deal will bring a 38% wage increase for the union’s 33,000 members — and a much-needed boost for a company that could desperately use one.

Quincy Jones, Music Icon Who Worked With Frank Sinatra And Michael Jackson, Dead At 91

Quincy Jones dies at 91

Quincy Jones, the multi-talented music titan whose vast legacy ranged from producing Michael Jackson’s historic “Thriller” album to writing prize-winning film and television scores and collaborating with Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles and hundreds of other recording artists, has died at 91.

Jones’ publicist, Arnold Robinson, says he died Sunday night at his home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles, surrounded by his family.

“Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing,” the family said in a statement. “And although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him.”

Jones rose from running with gangs on the South Side of Chicago to the very heights of show business, becoming one of the first Black executives to thrive in Hollywood and amassing an extraordinary musical catalog that includes some of the richest moments of American rhythm and song. For years, it was unlikely to find a music lover who did not own at least one record with his name on it, or a leader in the entertainment industry and beyond who did not have some connection to him.

California drug bust yields enough fentanyl to kill quarter of state’s population

Fentanyl laced pills in drug bust in Ca.

A routine traffic stop in California’s central valley turned into a major fentanyl bust when authorities seized enough lethal doses to kill a quarter of California’s population, according to California highway patrol (CHP).

In a statement released on Friday, CHP officers in Stockton, about 50 miles south of the capitol city of Sacramento, said that last month, while conducting a traffic stop on Interstate 5 highway near Airport Boulevard, officers uncovered “an alarming amount of fentanyl-laced pills” after a K9 signaled the scent of narcotics.

Officers discovered two duffel bags and a shopping bag filled with counterfeit oxycodone, or M30, pills. In total, more than 66lbs of 330,000 pills were confiscated. The driver, who was registered to Washington, was arrested and booked into Yolo county jail.

New York authorities euthanize social media star Peanut the squirrel

Peanut euthenized

An orphaned squirrel that became a social media star called Peanut was euthanized after New York authorities seized the beloved pet during a raid on his caretaker’s home, authorities said.

After anonymous complaints, officers from the state’s department of environmental conservation (DEC) took the squirrel and a raccoon named Fred from Mark Longo’s home near the Pennsylvania border in rural Pine City on Wednesday, Longo said.

On Friday, the DEC and Chemung county department of health confirmed both animals’ fate.

“On Oct 30, DEC seized a raccoon and squirrel sharing a residence with humans, creating the potential for human exposure to rabies. In addition, a person involved with the investigation was bitten by the squirrel. To test for rabies, both animals were euthanized,” the agencies said in a statement, CBS News in New York reported. “The animals are being tested for rabies and anyone who has been in contact with these animals is strongly encouraged to consult their physician.”

Thousands of women rally nationwide for abortion rights and feminist causes

Women rally nation

Thousands of women rallied Saturday in the nation’s capital and elsewhere in support of abortion rights and other feminist causes ahead of Tuesday’s election.

Demonstrators carried posters and signs through city streets, chanting slogans such as: “We won’t go back!” Some men joined with them. Speakers urged people to vote in the election – not only for president but also on down-ballot issues such as abortion-rights amendments that are going before voters in various states.

At the Women’s March in Washington, feminist activist Fanny Gomez-Lugo read off a list of states with abortion ballot measures before leading the crowd in a chant of: “Abortion is freedom!”

In Kansas City, Missouri, rally organizers urged people to sign up to knock on doors in a get-out-the-vote push for an abortion-rights measure.
