Auto Workers’ targeted strike plan will limit walkouts while grinding auto production to a halt

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 04:51:22 GMT

Detroit (CNN) — United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain announced a targeted strike plan Wednesday if the union decides to walk out at General Motors, Ford and Stellantis after a contract expiration late Thursday.Details of the plan, including which plants will be struck, will not be announced until just before the 11:59 pm contract expiration on Thursday night, Fain said. He said that this move would give the union the maximum leverage at the bargaining table.A targeted strike could shut operations for each company, depending on which plants and facilities are struck. The companies operate a complex network of plants that are dependent on getting parts from different facilities.Slowing or stopping the production of a few engine or transmission plants at each company could be as effective at stopping operations as a full strike at all plants, according to industry experts.One engine or transmission location per company might be enough to shut down nearly three-quarters of the ...

But we’re at the back end of the season. … Keep the big picture at hand. We’ve got a nice off day tomorrow and got Arizona ahead of us, so (we’re) looking forward to that series.

Orioles’ offense quiet again in 1-0 loss to Cardinals, leaving AL East lead at 2 entering Rays series

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 04:51:22 GMT

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde has often praised his players for their focus on the game in front of them. He took the same approach himself during Wednesday’s pregame media session.Peppered with questions about his team’s massive upcoming series with the Tampa Bay Rays, Hyde’s answer began with a reminder the Orioles first had to play one more game against the St. Louis Cardinals.“First and foremost is tonight, honestly,” Hyde said. “We need to take care of tonight. We need to play our best baseball and score some runs.”They did neither, losing 1-0 to the St. Louis Cardinals as their lead on the Rays atop the American League East fell to two games before the foes face off four times this weekend.One of three top 20 prospects Baltimore sent to St. Louis last month to acquire starter Jack Flaherty, Cardinals left-hander Drew Rom did not allow a hit until Jorge Mateo’s two-out infield single in the fifth and finished with 5 1/3 scoreless i...

Kim Jong Un’s trip to Russia provides window into unique North Korean and Russian media coverage

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 04:51:22 GMT

TOKYO (AP) — The world is largely relying on North Korean and Russian media for information about the unusual train journey of leader Kim Jong Un to meet with President Vladimir Putin at a space facility. While news gathering is, to varying degrees, constrained by both authoritarian governments, the coverage by the countries’ respective media this week is providing a window into the neighbors’ unique news environments and how the summit is being presented to people in North Korea and Russia.The coverage shown to North Koreans is meant, like all media efforts there, to reflect the government’s propaganda needs. The country’s reporters have no higher aim than glorifying Kim for Koreans and the world.But Kim’s trip to Russia, where foreign and local media have more access and leeway than in Pyongyang, has challenged how the North Korean media portray one of Kim’s most important diplomatic moves in years.There are no independent television channels left in Russia since...
