These New Yorkers are pumped for the Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Hundreds of spectators gathered on the Upper West Side Wednesday to watch both classic characters and new additions take flight ahead of Macy’s 98th annual holiday event.

Crowds lined the entrance to the inflation at 72nd Street and Columbus Avenue in hopes of catching a glimpse of the 17 character helium balloons and 15 novelty inflatables that will join marching bands, floats and other participants Thursday morning.

“Dad, look, it’s Dora!” screamed Anna, 6, as she tried to scale the barricade to get a closer look.

Anna’s father, Ramon, told The Post they recently moved to the Upper West Side, and never imagined the floats – some as large as two firetrucks – were this big.

“I would watch it on TV all the time but never imagined it was this big in person,” Ramon said.

“Mind blowing doesn’t really describe it.”

US labor board judge rules Exxon’s Texas refinery union lockout was legal By Reuters
November 27, 2024
HOUSTON (Reuters) – A U.S. National Labor Relations Board administrative law judge has ruled Exxon Mobil (NYSE:)’s 10-month-long lockout of some 600 union workers at a Texas oil refinery during a contract dispute was legal. The judge sided with Exxon in his decision on Nov. 21, finding the 2021 and 2022 lockout was to pressure the United Steelworkers union workers toward a deal, not to oust the union from the 369,024 barrel-per-day (bpd) Beaumont, Texas, refinery complex. The USW had faced a decertification campaign and filed an unfair labor practice complaint during the lockout, alleging an improper effort to break the plant’s union. The union had sought millions of dollars in lost pay and benefits for the workers who were locked out of the plant between May 2021 and March 2022. “There is little or no evidence that the company locked out the unit employees to unlawfully pressure them to decertify the union,” NLRB law judge Jeffrey Wedekind said in an opinion accompanying the decision. A spokesperson for Exxon did not reply to a request for comment. Meekie Moseley, president of USW Local 13-243, which represents the workers, said the union is considering its options… Read the full article here […]
Cuban sugar industry demise mirrors food crisis By Reuters
November 27, 2024
By Marc Frank HAVANA (Reuters) – Cuba, which once produced millions of tons of sugar, expects to output just 300,000 metric tons of the sweetener in 2025, according to provincial media reports, as it struggles to find the resources to plant cane in a bitter symbol of agriculture’s decline on the Caribbean island. Sugar was long “king” in Cuba as a hundred mills churned out raw sugar for domestic consumption and export. But the fuel, fertilizer, machinery and labor shortages that plague Cuba’s broader farm sector have hit the sugar industry especially hard, with year after year of record-breaking low output. Production of sugar cane is dominated by state mills in Cuba’s Communist-run economy. This year, less cane means a record low of just 15 mills will be open for sugar production, versus 24 the year before, the government announced as the first mill opened this week. “We have to plant cane,” Vice President Salvador Valdes said in central Camaguey province in late November, a province slated to produce 10,000 tonnes compared with up to 200,000 in the past. “The first thing is the cane. If there is cane there will be a harvest, but we have less and less cane,” Valdes said. The… Read the full article here […]
