Employees shut down a large Mercedes factory in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain on Monday to protest being required to work despite the coronavirus outbreak which forced the Spanish government to impose a nationwide lockdown over the weekend.
After talks with management over factory conditions and precautions against the spread of COVID-19 broke down, employees stopped working and staged a sit-in at the end of the assembly line, refusing to allow the production process to continue.
The factory’s works council, which represents employees, alleged that Mercedes management failed to comply with on-the-job safety requirements such as ensuring that workers have masks, adequate gloves, and other supplies.
The employees demanded that “the health of workers be prioritized over production in the face of the coronavirus health crisis,” according to local Spanish outlet Naiz.

On this day, 20 November 1969, a group of 78 Native Americans occupied Alcatraz Island demanding more rights, including a Native American university. The occupiers elected a council, set up a school and distributed tasks amongst themselves, voting all major decisions. Holding out until June 1971, authorities eventually evicted the protesters without agreeing to any of their demands. However the action was reported around the world, and helped spark the modern American Indian movement.

And the lore again, for those who liked it:
“Galaxy serpents grant wishes.
But changing reality, no matter how trivial of a change it might be, requires unfathomable amounts of energy: For each wish granted, the serpent devours a star.
So, be careful when you tell your children to make a wish upon the first star they see at night.
They might be heard.”
