3. Amazon union scores another win
The National Labor Relations Board said Thursday that the Amazon Labor Union's winning effort to unionize a Staten Island, New York, warehouse should be upheld. The e-commerce giant began its formal objection in May, the month after the union won. But the NLRB attorney overseeing the case said Amazon "had not met its burden" in its bid to demonstrate that the union used objectionable means to secure its victory. The grassroots Amazon Labor Union, meanwhile, is looking to expand its influence. It failed to unionize another Staten Island warehouse in May, but workers at warehouses in Albany, New York, and Kentucky are seeking to organize with the group.
4. UN team digs in at Ukraine nuclear plant
After hours of delays due to shelling in the region Thursday, inspectors with the United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency finally made it to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in Ukraine. The organization doesn't plan to leave, either, as long as the Russian-occupied facility is vulnerable to a catastrophe. "We are not going anywhere," IAEA chief Rafael Grossi told reporters. "The IAEA is now there, it is at the plant and it is not moving. It is going to stay there. We are going to have a continued presence there at the plant." The Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant is the largest in Europe.
5. Meme Stock: The Motion Picture
Here's a fun story for the last holiday weekend of the summer. An all-star cast – including "This is the End" star and "The Boys" executive producer Seth Rogen, and Pete Davidson of "SNL" and Kim Kardashian fame – will take on the wild story of the GameStop meme stock phenomenon of early 2021. "Dumb Money," which will be helmed by "I, Tonya" director Craig Gillespie, is slated to start filming this month. Rights to buy the movie will go on sale this month, as well. The film will be based on Ben Mezrich's nonfiction book "The Antisocial Network." If that name sounds familiar, it's because Mezrich also wrote "The Accidental Billionaires," a juicy account of the founding of Facebook. That book was adapted into the Oscar-winning 2010 classic "The Social Network."
