On #TheUpdate this Christmas Eve, revelers will still ring in the new year in Times Square next week, but there just won't be as many of them under new COVID-19 restrictions. Outgoing Mayor De Blasio says that viewing areas that normally accommodate about 58,000 people will be limited to about 15,000 people to allow for more social distancing. Everyone in attendance must show proof of vaccination and wear a mask.
Amazon, which has been under pressure to improve worker rights, has reached a settlement with the National Labor Relations Board to allow its workers to organize freely and without retaliation. The settlement outlines that Amazon workers, about 750,000 of them in the U.S, have more room to organize within its warehouses. And Santa Claus is just like the post office. Nor rain, sleet, snow, or even COVID-19 can stop him from coming. A NORAD spokesman says that Santa Claus is a source of joy for many people, and the mission is even more important for a world suffering a pandemic. 🎅🏽🦌🎄
