Seoul bus drivers strike over pay, snarling commute in South Korea's ...
Quick Glance: Seoul Bus Drivers' Strike Causes Morning Commute Delays
  • On Thursday, unionized bus drivers in Seoul went on a general strike to demand a wage hike, resulting in the near complete halt of bus operations in the capital and leading to delays for commuters during the morning rush hour.

  • Following unsuccessful last-minute wage negotiations, the union with approximately 18,000 members at 65 companies proceeded with their threatened strike, impacting 7,210 intracity buses, constituting 97.6 percent of the capital's bus services.

  • This general strike, the first since 2012, brought about significant inconveniences for passengers during the morning rush hour, causing delays in travel times for commuters and catching uninformed passengers off guard.

  • To alleviate passenger inconveniences, the city government ramped up subway operations for the morning and evening rush hours and extended the subway operating hours until 2 a.m.

Quick Glance: Work and Sacrifice: Heroes of Mumbai's Coastal Road Project
  • Amidst the excitement of the recent partial project inauguration and the constant traffic flow on the Coastal Road, we find the unheralded champions behind the scenes: the dedicated labourers of the MCRP (Mumbai Coastal Road Project) who dedicated themselves tirelessly over the past four years to bring the project to fruition.

  • Reports indicate that hundreds of skilled and unskilled workers from various parts of India, under the close supervision of engineering professionals, have persevered through extreme weather conditions and long hours of work over the past four years to turn the project into a reality.

  • The current workforce for the project stands at 6,000 individuals.

  • Anil Kumar Nishad and Dilip Kumar took on diverse responsibilities, including signaling duties for cranes. Nishad worked rigorously for 12 hours each day, seven days a week, and relied on glucose-based drinks to sustain himself during the hot summer months. Dilip Kumar mentioned occasional minor injuries that were promptly addressed before returning to work.

Quick Glance: New Tax Bill Expands Child Tax Credit and Business Breaks
  • A comprehensive, bipartisan tax reform was passed by the House to expand the child tax credit for American families and reinstate tax breaks for businesses.

  • The widespread support in the House was critical for the legislation, fast-tracked under a tactic known as 'suspension' by Republicans.

  • The tax legislation passed would raise the refundable portion to $1,800 per child in 2023, $1,900 per child in 2024 and $2,000 per child in 2025.

  • The bill would also create tax benefits for people impacted by natural disasters and strengthen the low-income housing tax credit.
