2 Women Hit By Car on Seattle Highway Closed Amid Protests

Two women were struck by a car whose driver sped through a protest-related closure on a freeway, authorities said early Saturday. One suffered life-threatening injuries and the other had serious injuries, Washington State Patrol spokesperson Trooper Rick Johnson tweeted. The Seattle Fire Department tweeted that the injured women appeared to be in their 20s. “A vehicle drove through the closure and struck multiple pedestrians on the freeway,” Johnson tweeted shortly after 2 a.m. Just before midnight, he had tweeted that portions of Interstate 5 were closed because of protests. The vehicle was stopped and the driver was in custody, Johnson tweeted. Video on social media showed a white car traveling at a high rate of speed navigate around two vehicles positioned across the lanes as a barrier. The car careened toward a handful of protesters on the freeway, striking two people who flew into the air before landing on the ground. Seattle has been the site of prolonged unrest following the May 25 police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, which sparked nationwide protests. Interstate 5 has been closed at times for protests in the weeks since, and dozens of people were arrested this past week in connection with protests as demonstrations continue after authorities cleared the “Capitol Hill Occupied Protest” zone Wednesday morning.

British holidaymakers in Spain face summer of strikes by hospitality staff

British holidaymakers may find their getaways thrown into chaos amid a summer of planned strike action at popular Spanish destinations.
Workers in the Balearic Islands’ hospitality industry have threatened to strike on July 10 following a breakdown in pay negotiations. The majority of those employed in the sector on the islands, 180,000 workers in hotels, restaurants, and other tourist destinations, are scheduled to go on strike. It comes amid a wave of other industrial action as well as protests against over-tourism across Spain.
The unions’ demand for a 17% pay increase is the main sticking point in negotiations. Workers have been offered a salary increase of 8.5% thus far. The latest announcement of strike action comes despite an eleventh-hour deal reached with hotel workers to avoid a walkout in four of the Canary Islands including Tenerife.
Further strikes in Majorca, Ibiza and Formentera will affect all bars, restaurants, cafes and night spots may go ahead on July 18, 19, 25 and 31.
The UGT union is also demanding several other reforms to working practices, including a 35-hour working week and to increase the duration of seasonal fixed-term contracts from six to nine months a year.
UGT spokesperson Jose Garcia Relucio branded concessions made at Thursday’s talks as ‘more crumbs’, MailOnline reported.
The union said that despite entering the negotiations to improve conditions for workers, the meeting had ended with several agreed reforms rolled back.

However the Majorca Hotel Business Federation blamed UGT for a creating a poor negotiating environment and failing to listen to its reasons for not meeting its demands.
“We have reached a point where, despite the fact we have been willing to address the issue of guaranteed employment for fixed-term contracts, they have not listened to our reasons for not raising the proposed [salary] increase,” stated Mara José Aguiló, the organization’s vice president. Holidaymakers have already been disrupted this week after EasyJet cabin crew in Spain went on strike from Wednesday, impacting dozens of flights to popular destinations including Malaga, Barcelona and Alicante.
On Thursday, the second day of operation, the airline canceled 62 flights to and from Spain. If the USO union’s demands for its members to receive wages comparable to those of EasyJet employees in other nations are not met, the union has not ruled out a subsequent indefinite strike. Concerns over unsustainable tourism in popular vacation spots prompted thousands of Brits to march across Spain earlier this month to urge them to “go home.” A demonstration in Palma de Majorca saw protesters carry placards in front of beleaguered tourists reading: ‘Mallorca is not your cash cow… go home’ and ‘your holidays, our anxiety’.

Viral Video Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Post on Social Media in 16 March 2022

This is the video that Ukrainian President #Zelensky just played for Congress. Masterful!
1/ “We are stepping up work to bring the occupiers to justice. There must be an international tribunal. For everything they did against Ukraine. Against our people For every act of terrorism of Russian troops on the territory of our state.” #Zelensky March 16th
#Ukraine Hackers published a deep fake of @ZelenskyyUa urging citizens to lay down their arms. He responded immediately: “If I can offer someone to lay down their arms, it’s the Russian military.Go home.Because we’re home. We are defending our land, our children & our families.”
#Zelensky Delivers an Emotionally Manipulative #Propaganda Video and Speech, Receiving Widespread Applause From Congress The ruling class wants war, and their goal is to convince you that you want it, too. @VigilantFox | Rumble
Stepping out of @ZelenskyyUa‘s address to Congress, I’m again moved by his monumental leadership and heroic courage. Being a world leader does indeed mean we have a responsibility to be a leader of freedom and peace. We must fulfill his request immediately. Get Ukraine the MiGs.
