- Performers who assist in bringing Disney's popular characters to life in the Southern California theme parks filed a petition on Wednesday to form a labor union.

- Union membership in the U.S. has been declining for decades, but organizations have seen growing public support in recent years. The NLRB, which protects workers' rights, reported over 2,500 filings for union representation in the 2023 fiscal year, the highest number in eight years.

Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests
- Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.
- The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.
- No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."
- The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

reuters.com/world/us/stranded-sea-otter-pups-paired-with-surrogate-moms-california-aquarium-2024-04-12/
Quick Glance: Rescuing Stranded Sea Otter Pups with Surrogate Moms in California Aquarium
- Annually, approximately 10 to 15 stranded sea otter pups are discovered along the California coastline, often a result of storms causing separation between mother and offspring.
- Through a collaboration between the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the pups are connected with surrogate sea otter mothers to impart crucial skills and facilitate their return to the wilderness.
- Program manager Megan Smylie details how the adult surrogate mother will impart behaviors to the pups that humans are incapable of teaching, such as foraging, prey manipulation, and shell opening.
- Having already saved eight stranded pups, the two aquariums aspire for additional organizations to join the initiative in boosting the wild population and safeguarding the ecosystem of the Californian coast.

trib.al/l589Q3m
Quick Glance: Former Marine sentenced to 9 years in prison for firebombing California Planned Parenthood clinic
- A former marine was sentenced to nine years in prison by the Justice Department on Monday after using a Molotov cocktail to attack a Planned Parenthood clinic in Costa Mesa, California. Chance Brannon, along with his co-defendant Tibet Ergul, plotted attacks on the clinic and a potential target on the power grid in 'furtherance of a race war.'
- Brannon, 24, pleaded guilty in November 2023 to being involved in a conspiracy, malicious destruction of property by fire and explosives, possession of an unregistered destructive device, and intentionally damaging a reproductive health services facility in violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.
- Planned Parenthood clinic attacks were abandoned due to law enforcement actions. Brannon was motivated by neo-Nazi ideology and planned further violent attacks. The National Abortion Federation reported a sharp increase in violence at abortion clinics in 2022.
- Brannon and Ergul also had plans to conduct an attack using a remote-detonated device during an LGBTQ+ pride event at Dodger Stadium, but were arrested two days prior. Before the arrest, Brannon even planned to rob Jewish individuals living in the Hollywood Hills.

- Fast-food chains are accelerating the deployment of order kiosks in US locations to cut labor costs, with the introduction becoming more pressing due to California's new $20 minimum wage.

latimes.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/story/2024-04-04/upset-over-californias-20-wage-what-fast-food-ceos-make
Quick Glance: Comparison: CEO Salaries vs. Minimum Wage in California
- Given the new $20 minimum wage for California's fast-food workers, it's important to examine the salaries of their CEOs.
- The CEOs of Chipotle and McDonald's Corp. earn substantial amounts while their employees struggle. It is suggested that they reduce their bonuses to pay their workers a living wage instead of passing costs to customers or threatening staff cuts.
- Supermarkets are increasing prices, making it challenging for even high earners to afford healthy food. The notion that supermarkets are the primary source for affordable, healthy food is diminishing.
- The new $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers is deemed reasonable as their earnings circulate back into the economy to provide food, shelter, and healthcare for many in need.
