Episode 119: 🍎Apple Walkout, 📱CES, ✈Airlines Struggle to Battle Omicron

Apple corporate and retail workers are holding a walkout on Christmas Eve to demand better working conditions and have issued a list of demands — but it isn't clear how many staffers are participating. The labor walkout, called for on Thursday and executed on Friday, urges consumers not to shop in stores or online. It calls for Apple to meet a number of demands, including hazard pay, benefits for part-time workers, and protections from "abusive customers." Amazon, Facebook parent Meta, Twitter and Pinterest will not send teams to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas as concerns grow about Omicron, the firms said on Tuesday. CES, which serves as an annual showcase of new trends and gadgets in the technology industry has attracted more than 180,000 people from around the world to a sprawling array of casinos and convention spaces in the past. The surge in the stock came a day after the company announced on Twitter that its first customer delivery is done, signaling more to come. Earlier this week, Nikola said it agreed to pay the Securities and Exchange Commission $125 million to settle charges it defrauded investors by misleading them about its products, technical capacity and business prospects. U.S. airline executives this week asked the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials to loosen quarantine guidelines for fully vaccinated individuals who test positive for Covid to five days from the current 10, citing potential staffing shortages and flight disruptions. The CDC loosened its guidelines for healthcare workers on Thursday. United canceled more than 131 mainline flights scheduled for Friday, about 7% of its schedule, according to flight-tracking site FlightAware. 📚Books: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=reginald+seay&crid=XNP2FB40Q3TH&sprefix=reginald+seay%2Caps%2C232&ref=nb_sb_noss 📚 Course: https://market-marauders-complete-guides.teachable.com/p/the-complete-guide-to-cryptocurrency 📚Website: www.marketmarauders.net 🦩Twitter: @yourequest 😎Instagram: market_marauders 📧Email: [email protected] 🚧 DISCLAIMER🚧 I am not a qualified licensed investment advisor.
