Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:01:58 GMT

By: Ramona Pringle, Toronto Metropolitan University ListenHollywood actors went on strike on July 14, joining film and television writers who have been on the picket lines since May. It’s the first time actors and writers have picketed together since 1960, when Ronald Reagan was the president of the Screen Actors Guild.Following failed talks with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) announced the strike at a press conference on July 13.At the heart of the negotiations between the union and the guild are two key issues: residual payments in the streaming era and the ownership of an actor’s likeness if it’s reproduced by artificial intelligence. The union is calling for fairer pay splits and tighter AI regulations over these issues.This strike is a watershed moment for the entertainment industry, marking a turning point for the future of labour in the arts. But it will also have...

Act now: Amendments to packaging rules will cause ‘flood of plastic’ pollution

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:01:58 GMT

Imagine you’re in charge of regulating packaging in the European Union. You’re bringing in some new rules to reduce waste and pollution. So far, so good. But then it is revealed that an amendment mandating the reuse of packaging will cause a flood of plastic. That is exactly the opposite of what you’re trying to achieve. Do you vote for it anyway?The answer is obvious. Yet this is the exact dilemma now facing the EU, as it debates proposed amendments to the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).Everyone supports what the EU wants to achieve with this regulation. But recent amendments are counterproductive. They would impose mandatory re-use rules for transport packaging in too general a way. In practice, this decision would penalize recyclable materials, like cardboard, while promoting the plastics industry.Analysis from trade association FEFCO has found that, instead of being significantly cut, the amount of unnecessary plastic transport packaging being produced will doub...

Colonial past invades EU’s Latin American summit

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:01:58 GMT

The ghosts of colonial history returned to haunt European and Latin American leaders at their summit in Brussels.For the guests, four hundred years of European colonial rule, economic exploitation and slavery was front of mind. For the hosts, it was Russia’s war on Ukraine in the here and now. The divergence in views was so profound that the two sides struggled to align their thinking at their first summit in eight years — especially to find words to condemn Russia’s war of aggression in their closing communiqué.That made the two-day gathering frustrating for all concerned — but especially for leaders of the EU’s newest member states from Eastern Europe, which have their own bitter memories of Soviet imperial rule and Russian aggression.“It is actually a war of colonization,” Latvian Prime Minister Krišjānis Kariņš said of the 16-month-old Ukraine conflict. “There is a former colonizer, Russia, and a former colony, Ukraine. And the former overlord is trying to ta...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:01:58 GMT

Chicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol sensed that Eloy Jiménez wasn’t feeling very optimistic after leaving Sunday’s game with left groin tightness.“I was like, ‘You never know, let’s see what happens (Monday),’” Grifol said.Turns out, the designated hitter/outfielder might be back in the lineup sooner than anticipated.“It’s doing better,” Jiménez said before Tuesday’s game against the New York Mets at Citi Field. “I feel really good. This is not going to be long-term. Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day, I don’t know.”Grifol didn’t want to jump the gun after Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Braves, but initially thought “it doesn’t look good for the next four to five days.”The Sox received better news Monday.“At first we were a little bit concerned,” Grifol said. “He woke up (Monday) and he felt great. Feels great today. He’s day to da...
