These autoworkers just achieved what the UAW couldn't
One of the most controversial items on the list of demands propped up by the United Auto Workers prior to the strike and contract negations with Detroit's Big Three automakers was the implementation of the 32-hour workweek, or the four-day workweek.Related: You'll never guess who designed this beautiful, futuristic sports car Though Shawn Fain's UAW was not able to get the amendment written into their newly ratified contracts with Ford (F) - Get Free Report, General Motors (GM) - Get Free Report and Stellantis (STLA) - Get Free Report, workers at a prestigious and notable automaker across the pond were able to get it. As part of an agreement with the Federazione Impiegati Operai Metallurgici (Italian Federation of Metalworkers, or FIOM) and the Federazione Italiana Metalmeccanici (Italian Federation of Metal Mechanics, or FIM-CISL) labor unions, Italian supercar manufacturer Lamborghini will be introducing a four-day workweek for its production workers. A Lamborghini Huracan STO displayed in Seoul, South Korea Bloomberg/Getty Images In a statement, the unions said that the agreement with the raging bull is "historical," as it is the first in the entire European auto industry to achieve a major reduction in working hours without cutting wages – rather, their newly negotiated deal increased their pay. Four-day work weeks have been adopted in other workplaces around Europe, including the United Kingdom, where they found that employees were more productive, stayed in their jobs, got sick less, while workplaces gained additional staff. "Work less and work better, this is the principle that guided this negotiation, and which is part of a comprehensive reasoning," The FIOM and FIM-CISL said in a statement.

At Lamborghini, line workers as part of a rotating two-shift schedule will alternate a five-day week with a four day week, which would cut 22 days of work per year. Those in positions with three shift rotations will have a five-day week alternated with two four-day weeks, which will cut 31 days of work per year. In addition to the shortened weeks, the deal includes a 50% increase in the current variable bonuses paid to workers, as well as a one-off bonus of $1,082 to be paid in December. The new agreement with the Volkswagen-owned (VLKAF) - Get Free Report brand will also add 500 new jobs to their workforce. Despite being a major item on the UAW's initial bargaining wish list, the four-day work week was a non-starter with the Detroit 3 automakers, even as the union won historic gains in wages and benefits from the companies.

*Richard Branson makes a major investing change to Virgin portfolio*
As a millionaire, you might try to impress your friends by taking them for a ride in your Ferrari or reasonably sized yacht in Palm Beach. As a billionaire, however, the best way to impress your peers is by taking them for a ride in your spaceship. Related: Warren Buffett has a genius plan to 'end U.S. deficit in 5 minutes' Increasingly, more and more heavy hitters in the tech and industrial space are getting involved in the great space race of the 21st century. Jeff Bezos famously launches interested celebrities in his Blue Origin space exploration crafts. Elon Musk launches crewed SpaceX rockets into space seemingly every other month. And Richard Branson was actually the first billionaire to fly in his own Virgin Galactic Unity 22 spacecraft. The list of billionaires in space goes on, and each mission has its own advantages and challenges, as any boundary-breaking push into a previously unexplored frontier might. Space exploration is also incredibly cash-intensive. Musk's SpaceX made headlines earlier in 2023 when it reported to have brought in a small net profit margin of just 3.7% ($55 million) in Q1 2023. On the whole, though, these companies are mostly very expensive to run, fraught with red tape and bureaucracy, and still supremely dangerous regardless of crew or mission expertise. Which might be why Richard Branson is prepared to hit pause, at least for now. Richard Branson issues surprising remark about Virgin Galactic British billionaire Richard Branson, who founded Virgin Group and Virgin Galactic, which specializes in space travel and tourism, has seen his latter company through ups and downs. Virgin Galactic IPO-ed in 2019 with a $2.3 billion valuation. At its height in mid 2021, its stock hit approximately $55 per share. But it's since come crashing back down to earth; the stock has hovered around $3 for most of 2023 and now has a market cap of just $843 million.

FALLON / AFP) (Photo by PATRICK T. FALLON/AFP via Getty Images) PATRICK T. FALLON/Getty Images Which is why Branson is turning off the hose, at least for now. "We don’t have the deepest pockets after Covid," he explained in a Financial Times interview in early December. "And Virgin Galactic has got $1 billion — or nearly. It should, I believe, have sufficient funds to do its job on its own." In Virgin's most recent November filing, it reported it had about $1.1 billion in cash and securities. It laid off about 7% of its staff in the same month. Virgin Galactic also announced it would change its monthly space tourism schedule to quarterly. Its next mission, the Galactic 06, is slotted to take off in January 2024. But just because Branson is done funding Galactic for now doesn't mean the company is closing up shop. It's working on its cushier new Delta line, which will present high-paying celebrities and notables to plunge deeper into space by 2026. Branson struck a notably optimistic tone when discussing the future of Galactic — with or without his funding. He claimed the company has "really proved itself and the technology." Galactic's stock is down over 5% since his comments.

*Some will soon be able to self-serve themselves through airport security*
While the rise of technology has allowed the aviation industry to incorporate self-service and online speed-ups into many parts of the flying process, the security screening one needs to go through before going to the gate is not a process that many see as something they can do themselves. The idea of travelers scanning their own bags and then checking to see that there's nothing hazardous inside seems like something out of a comedy movie.Related: Hate long lines? One airport is letting people book security screening times But even so, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced that it will be launching a self-service security screening at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas next month. A traveler gets ready to pass his bag through security screening at an airport. Shutterstock Just 'like self-ordering kiosks,' TSA says of new security screening plans "Like self-ordering kiosks at fast food and sit-down restaurants, self-service screening allows passengers in the Trusted Traveler Program to complete the security screening process on their own," Dr. John Fortune, Manager of Screening at Speed Program at the TSA, said in a statement. "Travelers will use passenger and carry-on screening systems at individual consoles or screening lanes themselves, reducing the number of pat downs and bag inspections TSOs need to perform and freeing their time to be reallocated to the busier aspects of screening operations." More Travel:A new travel term is taking over the internet (and reaching airlines and hotels)The 10 best airline stocks to buy nowAirlines see a new kind of traveler at the front of the plane According to the TSA's descriptions and renderings of the program, travelers will pass through a security screening capsule that uses facial recognition technology to identify the traveler who then passes through a pod where they send any bags, shoes and other through the screening tube and then pass through the full-body scanner with "minimal to no assistance" from a human. Use of TSA staff will be maximized to assist travelers who are having trouble and screen what is passing through the scanner for dangerous items from a computer (that part travelers will not be able to do themselves!).'The airport security experience that we've all come to know could soon look and feel a lot different...' Designed for low-risk travelers who have either TSA PreCheck or CLEAR, the new self-service security system will go through its pilot tests in January 2024 — some of the travelers with CLEAR will be randomly selected to go through the new screening as they go to check in for their flight. Airports slated to receive similar technology in the coming months include Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Phoenix Sky Habror International Airport (PHX), Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Miami International Airport (MIA). Self-serve security technology is currently being developed at lightning speed in order to speed up the screening process and reduce the staff needed as the number of passengers who pass through the country's airports continues to increase — this year, the TSA expects to screen a record 30 million travelers in the month between the end of Thanksgiving and the new year. "We are very excited to see how far these capabilities have come in a relatively short amount of time," TSA Innovation Task Force's Branch Manager Christina Peach said in a statement.

*AI reigned on Wall Street in 2023 - These companies are looking to cash in next year*
AI has dominated much of the conversation in 2023 with names like Nvidia, Microsoft, and Google leading the way. TheStreet’s J.D. Durkin dives into the latest advancements in artificial intelligence as well as what to look forward to in 2024.Full Video Transcript Below: J.D. DURKIN: Every once in a while, the stock market is helped along by the next “shiny thing” — the cyclical FOMO that leads companies and investors alike to spend their money. And without a doubt, 2023 was defined by the arrival of the newest shiny thing: artificial intelligence. References to AI skyrocketed in earnings calls in 2023, as companies were eager to make it clear they were well-positioned for the AI revolution. Many took off to new highs, and none greater than Nvidia, which specializes in microchips. The stock shot up more than 240% in 2023 alone. Nvidia isn’t the only Magnificent 7 name to be in on the fun: Amazon with AWS, and Alphabet with its own AI chatbot Bard along with its Google Cloud success. The software company Palantir has scored lucrative contracts with the U.S government to provide AI solutions. That stock is up more than 200% YTD. And if there’s one name that’s become synonymous with large language models, it’s ChatGPT – and that’s meant big things for Microsoft. The company has invested billions in OpenAI, ChatGPT’s developer, and is folding AI into its Azure cloud platform. With a stock price now well north of $300, Microsoft is one of the most weighted names in the Dow. The Economist says that 2024 will be the year that artificial intelligence goes “mainstream.” According to resumebuilder.com companies are already using AI for things like customer support and research, but 4-in-10 companies say that they think AI will replace at least some employees in the new year. It’s clear that AI is here to stay, but only time will tell how much of the conversation it dominates next year.

*Just closed on house and… MOLD!*
We just closed 4 days ago and decided that we didn’t like the new floors that the flipper put in. He probably thought that no one would rip up brand new flooring throughout the whole house, but I’m glad we did. Underneath the shitty laminate he put in, our contractor found the original hardwood that was molding and rotting away since the underlay that was used 40+ years ago was apparently some type of styrofoam / particle board?! Still need to figure out where the moisture intrusion is coming from. Flipper literally just put the new laminate on top of the moldy and rotten wood planks and hoped no one would find out! The mold spreads throughout the entire 2000 sq ft living space flooring. He also put up walls to create an additional bedroom and those walls were placed on top of the defective flooring and need to be cut to remove everything. Omg I’m literally freaking out. submitted by /u/AtomicBets to r/FirstTimeHomeBuyer [link] [comments]
