Approximately 14,000 security guards working for major tech companies plan to strike starting Friday after months of failed negotiations over wages and benefits. The guards, represented by SEIU-USWW, are seeking $30 per hour compared to the current median wage of $20.09 and a modest 65-cent raise offer on the table. The strike reflects tensions over compensation disparity between security workers and the tech industry's vast wealth.
Doctor Who's 1979 episode 'Shada', written by Douglas Adams and set in Cambridge, was left unfinished due to BBC strike action that halted studio recording. The lost story, featuring Tom Baker as the fourth Doctor, eventually had its fragments incorporated into the show's 20th anniversary special in 1983, with the cast finally completing it 36 years later.
