It did feel a bit ‘promotional’ - as you say. I thought this ⬇️ was the guts of it & should have - could have - led:

“Despite positioning itself as the party looking out for ordinary Australians, One Nation has been opposed to raising wages for Australia’s lowest paid workers. As the Fair Work Commission awarded a 4.75 per cent pay increase to minimum wage earners this month, Hanson said she was opposed to the change. Over the years, Hanson has consistently voted against improvements to workers’ conditions from penalty rates, job security, to criminalising wage theft.”

A pretty telling list there ⬆️
Thanks for sharing this Heather - interesting to see & think thru ON’s record. 🙏🏻

Meta reassigned 7,000 employees into its three-month-old Applied AI unit and drafted engineers to generate training data. Many describe the work as soul-crushing. With $125-145B in annual capital spending on AI infrastructure at stake, the company is learning that motion and consumption metrics don't measure real progress. https://www.implicator.ai/zuckerberg-admits-meta-made-mistakes-as-its-ai-unit-nears-revolt/ #AI #WorkingConditions #Technology
Zuckerberg Admits Mistakes as Meta's AI Unit Nears Revolt

An employee hijacked a livestreamed Meta meeting to insult a top AI executive, exposing a revolt inside its 6,500-person Applied AI unit. The same week, Meta moved to cap the token spending it spent months pushing. Zuckerberg admits mistakes, but the contradiction runs deeper.

Today in Labor History June 7, 1974: Northern California nurses walked out on strike. Over 4,000 nurses from 41 hospitals around the San Francisco Bay Area began a strike over management’s attempts to take away their contractual right to help determine staffing levels. They also demanded pay increases. 21 days later, they won an 11% raise and the maintenance of the contractual right to participate in staffing level decisions.
