Some Tesla factory workers realized they were laid off when security scanned their badges and sent them back on shuttles, sources say Tesla laid off over 10% of its workforce on Sunday night. Some factory employees only realized they were laid off when their badges didn't work, sources told BI. At the Nevada factory, the process of weeding out laid-off staff in line to enter caused around a 2-hour backup, one source said. Tesla told staff it was laying off more than 10% of its workforce on Sunday night, but some workers didn't realize they were laid off until they showed up at the company's facilities, five current or former workers told Business Insider. The cuts impacted engineers and production associates alike. At Tesla's factory in Sparks, Nevada, workers faced about a two-hour line Monday morning in order to get into the facility as a result of badge checks, one worker said. https://www.yahoo.com/news/tesla-factory-workers-realized-were-184928702.html

Boban Marjanović is a man of the people. The Houston Rockets center purposefully gave fans at Crypto.com Arena a rare yet iconic parting gift in their season-ending win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday afternoon. He gave them free chicken. Marjanović intentionally missed a pair of free throws in the fourth quarter of the Rockets’ 116-105 win over the Clippers, which allowed for the common in-game promotion to hit. The Clippers give all fans inside the arena a free Chick-fil-A sandwich if a visiting player misses two consecutive free throws in the fourth quarter of a game. Of course, Marjanović knew this and made it very clear to fans what he was doing in the moment. Once he missed the second free throw, he even started celebrating with them.

Some decent info here that I didn't know... Everything You’re Entitled to if Your Flight Gets Canceled or Delayed 2024 has already proven to be a precarious year for airplane travel. In addition to regular snafus, like flight delays and trip cancellations, the Boeing 737 Max 9 fuselage blowout has left travelers feeling a little uneasy. That’s why, now more than ever, it’s especially important to know your rights as you navigate the friendly skies. While it might feel like we’re staring down a summer full of mass travel holidays and endless airport crowds, know that you're not entirely powerless. In fact, you can now get much more than a $10 voucher for a sad airport salad whenever cancellations, overbooked legs, and excessive delays screw up your travel plans. Here’s what the airlines aren’t telling you, and what actions you can take to receive compensation for delayed or canceled flights. https://www.thrillist.com/travel/nation/airline-secrets-tips-and-tricks

The Florida Senate Banned Heat Protections for Farmworkers, but a Groundbreaking Partnership Could Provide a Solution Ahead of record-breaking summer temperatures, the Fair Food Program — a major partnership between retailers, farmers, and farmworkers — offers the nation’s strongest protocols for keeping workers safe Earlier this month, Florida’s Senate passed a bill banning local jurisdictions from passing measures protecting workers from heat exposure, the latest of a series of draconian laws targeting immigrants and workers in Florida. This bill, which awaits the approval of governor Ron DeSantis, prohibits governments from requiring that employers provide water, shade, and breaks to workers—relatively small measures that can mean the difference between life and death for workers laboring under Florida’s hot sun. This law precedes what is expected to be another record-breaking summer of extreme heat. “It’s morally repulsive, and it will kill farmworkers,” said Erik Nicholson, a farmworker advocate and the former vice president of United Farm Workers. “I have accompanied the families of too many farmworkers who have needlessly died due to heat stress.” But Nicholson also highlighted the promise of another avenue to bring strong heat standards to Florida farms: The Fair Food Program (FFP), a groundbreaking partnership between retailers, farmers, and farmworkers that has implemented the strongest, legally binding heat protocols in the nation on Florida’s farms, while bypassing the state’s Republican-controlled legislature. https://www.eater.com/24122092/florida-ban-farmworker-extreme-heat-protections-fair-food-program-offers-solution-climate
