  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

Attacks also continued against Israelis and Jews, with a Palestinian stabbing a policeman near a West Bank settlement before being shot dead by the victim, who was lightly wounded. A Jewish 16-year-old was lightly wounded in a new stabbing in Jerusalem by an 18-year-old Palestinian suspect, who was arrested. In the assault by a Jew, the assailant aged about 20 was arrested and told police he carried out the attack in the southern Israeli city of Dimona because “all Arabs are terrorists”. The victims suffered light to moderate wounds. It marked the first such attack against Palestinians after at least 11 stabbings that have targeted Israelis or Jews since Saturday, killing two of them. Later, a woman was shot after a stabbing attempt in northern Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quickly condemned the stab- bings by the Jewish suspect, a sign of concerns it could trigger further violence. Palestinians have also rioted in annexed east Jerusalem and the West Bank in recent days, with the unrest raising fears of a wider uprising or even a third intifada.

  • Tom Cruise Biography Pdf
    Tom cruise biography pdf Continue It's no secret that Tom Cruise has been struggling at the US box office for a while now. From 1992 to 2006, Cruz had a nearly unbreakable string of $100 million-plus box office hits - an unprecedented track record in modern Hollywood. (Two exceptions: R-rated erotic thriller Eyes Wide Shut and indie ensemble Magnolia.) Since 2006 Mission: Impossible III, however, Cruz seems to have come up with a terrible CJS case, i.e. Couch-Jumping Syndrome: His only film to bank more than $100 million in the U.S. was The Mission 2011: Impossible - The Ghost Protocol. The rest - Lions for Lambs, Valkyrie, Knight and Day, Rock of the Ages, and Jack Reacher - all had either disappointments or outright dips in the US. A true movie star should have a life for one franchise, but seemingly over the past seven years, The American audience has been interested only to see Cruise run, jump, and shoot like secret agent Ethan Hunt.That is, until this weekend. Cruz's sci-fi thriller Oblivion opened for $38.2 million, which is the 50-year-old's best domestic film for a film where neither Mission Impossible nor director Steven Spielberg was on the film's poster. (If you adjust for inflation, interview with vampire and firm did better.) That's doubly impressive given Friday night, much of the country stayed home to watch a live broadcast of the hunt for Boston bomber Dzokhar Tsarnaev.So does that mean Cruz finally shook off the scourge of CJS and returned to grace The American audience? It's possible.
