‘Robots Are Treated Better’: Amazon Warehouse Workers Stage First-Ever Strike In the UK
The GMB Union, which represents the workers involved, said it expects 300 employees out of a total 1,000 at the plant to turn up to the walkout. Workers are planning to hold a larger scale demonstration from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. London time. Staff are unhappy with a pay increase of 50 pence (56 U.S. cents) per hour, equivalent to 5% and well below inflation. Amazon introduced the pay hike last summer. But warehouse workers say it fails to match the rising cost of living. They want the company to pay a minimum 15 pounds an hour. They also want better working conditions. Amazon workers have raised concerns about long working hours, high injury rates, and the unrelenting pace of work, as well as aggressive, tech-enhanced monitoring of employees. “We all saw the profits they’re making during the pandemic — that’s what angered people more,” said Darren Westwood, one of Amazon’s warehouse workers taking part in the strike. “We were expecting a better increase than what they were imposing.”
“Someone the other day said we’re treated like robots — no, robots are treated better,” Westwood told CNBC.

Elon Musk’s tweets take center stage in opening day of his securities fraud trial
Elon Musk tweets, and “regular people” watch their fortunes evaporate.
That was the argument put before a jury by lawyers representing a class of Tesla investors in opening arguments in Musk’s securities fraud trial, which kicked off today in a courtroom in San Francisco. The plaintiffs are arguing that Musk’s 2018 tweets about taking Tesla private, in which he said he had “funding secured,” led them to lose millions of dollars.
“His lies caused regular people, like Glen Littleton, to lose millions and millions of dollars,” attorney Nicholas Porritt said Wednesday, referring to the lead plaintiff in the class-action case. In order for markets to operate normally and fairly, it’s “critical that he is held — and the company is held —…
iPhone 15 Reportedly Enters Early Trial Production Stage
According to the report, Foxconn has received instructions to begin “new machine trial production” for the iPhone 15 and begin new product introduction (NPI) for the device. This process is taking place before the iPhone 15 is expected to enter mass production later this year and is meant to introduce the device’s specific design and production needs to Foxconn.
The report notes that this year’s process for mass production of the upcoming iPhone 15 will differ from previous years due to production taking place in both China and India. A machine-translated copy of the report reads:
It is worth noting that the NPI of the new iPhone this year is a little different from previous years, mainly because the gap between the mass production time of iPhones in mainland China and India will narrow. In previous years, the mass production time of the two places was about six to nine months apart. Last year, it was shortened to two months, and this year it will be shortened to a few weeks.
The iPhone 15 lineup is expected to feature four models matching the sizes of this year’s iPhone 14 series, including the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Ultra.
Rumors suggest that the higher-end iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra will feature a titanium frame, solid-state haptic volume buttons, and USB-C with faster transfer speeds. The standard models are expected to gain Dynamic Island, a USB-C port with Lightning transfer speeds, and possibly a 48MP camera.
