VANCOUVER — Federal Labour Minister Seamus O’Regan has ordered the Canada Industrial Relations Board to determine if a negotiated resolution in the British Columbia port dispute is still possible and put an end to the situation if an agreement is out of reach.O’Regan issued a statement saying the board has been directed to impose a new collective agreement or final binding arbitration on both the port workers and their employers if a negotiated resolution is determined to be impossible.This is the second time the board will weigh in on the months-long dispute between International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada and the BC Maritime Employers Association.On July 19, the board ruled a brief return to picket lines by port workers the day before — after union leadership rejected a tentative deal drafted by a federal mediator — was illegal without sufficient notice, bringing an end to the work stoppage.Previously, the dispute between the union representing about 7,400 workers and ma...

Ukraine moves date of Christmas Day to distance itself from Russian tradition

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:02:53 GMT

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday signed a law moving the official Christmas Day holiday to Dec. 25 from Jan. 7, the day when the Russian Orthodox Church observes it.The explanatory note attached to the law said its goal is to “abandon the Russian heritage,” including that of “imposing the celebration of Christmas” on Jan. 7, and cited Ukrainians' “relentless, successful struggle for their identity” and “the desire of all Ukrainians to live their lives with their own traditions, holidays,” fueled by Russia's 17-month-old aggression against the country.Last year, some Ukrainians already observed Christmas on Dec. 25, in a gesture that represented separation from Russia, its culture and religious traditions.The law also moves the Day of Ukrainian Statehood to July 15 from July 28, and the Day of Defenders of Ukraine to Oct. 1 from Oct. 14. ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ author pulls book over ‘enormous’ pushback to Russian setting The Russian Orthodox Church,...

GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) — A North Carolina man's long-lost 1967 Mustang coupe was found after being stolen 21 years ago.Detectives in Guilford County, and the owner of the car, were also surprised to find the vehicle was still in decent shape."Twenty-one years. That is unbelievable," David Tucker said. Your car may be collecting your data — Here’s what you can do The blue Mustang was Tucker's dream car. He and his son even formed a bond during the boy's childhood, riding together in the coupe."Riding in it with my son … he was in a car seat in the back," Tucker said. "He finally got out of the car seat and was able to sit up front with me. Just riding around with him, and seeing the look on his face. That's the best."In 2002, Tucker decided to sell the car. He left it sitting at a friend's house in Oak Ridge, where it might have more visibility for potential buyers. But somebody decided to just take it."I can't even describe the sadness," Tucker said. "That was like my b...

The busiest days to fly around Labor Day 2023

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:02:53 GMT

(NerdWallet) - Labor Day may mark the unofficial end of summer in the U.S. — but it’s hardly the end of airport crowds. In fact, given record-breaking crowds already this year, there’s a good chance this Labor Day weekend could be busier than any prior Labor Day weekend.Already this summer, U.S. airports have set fresh passenger records. June 30, the Friday before July 4, marked a new record high of passengers on a single day when more than 2.884 million people passed through Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoints.That figure topped the previous record of 2.882 million people from the Sunday after 2019’s Thanksgiving, according to a NerdWallet analysis of TSA data showing the number of passengers screened at U.S. TSA checkpoints over the last four years.Roughly 12% more people passed through U.S. airports in June 2023 versus June 2022, which is perhaps unsurprising given the lingering effects of the pandemic through 2022.The more impressive feat, though, is that 20...
