Ethiopian textiles factory workers spurn the nation's 'industrial revolution'

Description

By attracting foreign investors through cheap labour, Ethiopia wants to follow China's example in creating a robust manufacturing sector that can offer badly needed jobs for its young workforce. But despite high unemployment, young Ethiopians are not going along with it, preferring to quit rather than stay in jobs where they feel underpaid and disrespected. N°1OI7PFN°1OO154

  • 800 Nurses Strike Over Dangerous Understaffing

    800 nurses from St. Mary Medical Center, in the Philadelphia area, walked out Tuesday to protest hospital understaffing. As the third wave of coronavirus cases hits the country, hospitals are reaching capacity as hospital workers continue to suffer from burnout.
