'Employees need a say in decisions that affect our lives,' an Amazon worker petition said. N early 2,000 Amazon worker s plan to walk out on Wednesday as the company weathers layoffs and a mandate that corporate employees return to the office . "Employees need a say in decisions that affect our lives," said a petition from worker groups Amazon Employees for Climate Justice and Amazon's Remote Advocacy.

The employee petition cited the return-to-work policy and Amazon's ongoing climate impact as evidence that company leadership is "taking us in the wrong direction." MORE: Am...

Toto Wolff says that Mercedes have "no sense of entitlement" as they attempt to return to the front of the Formula 1 pack. The squad will bring updates to the W14 at the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix weekend, having faced struggles with their car during the 2023 F1 season so far. While the aim of this is to close the gap to the team's rivals, Wolff acknowledges that it is simply the "first step" in this mission. "[Monaco] is a unique event but will still provide an opportunity to learn about the upgrades to W14 – but we also need to be careful not to draw too many conclusions from this one event," Wolff explained. "We are introducing the first step in a new development direction." Viewed by others: Mercedes Mercedes warn of 'no miracles' from urgent response to Red Bull ...

E. Jean Carroll is seeking to amend a defamation lawsuit against Trump to account for statements he made after a jury found him liable for battery and defamation Former President Donald Trump's words about writer E. Jean Carroll may, again, come back to haunt him. Carroll's attorneys sought on Monday to amend her initial defamation lawsuit against Trump, filed in 2019, to account for allegedly defamatory statements he made about her after a jury found him liable for battery and defamation in a second lawsuit that the former Elle magazine columnist filed against him last November. There was no immediate response from Trump or his lawyers. Carroll's first suit has been tied up on legal technicalities and, in the new court filing, her lawyers sought a judge's permission to include Trump's words after the May 9 verdict against him.
