24,000 registered nurses ratify new four-year contract with UC
The University of California and the California Nurses Association ratified a four-year agreement for nearly 24, 000 registered nurses that includes an 18. 5% minimum increase in wages over the life of the four-year contract across the university’s 19 medical centers and campuses, the union announced on Saturday, Nov. 22. CNA said in its statement that the contract also caps health care premium increases and adds “protections to improve patient safety and nurse retention.” A union spokesperson did not immediately respond to questions about how many members voted to support or reject ratification of the contract, or what the new minimum hourly wage is under the contract for first year nurses. “UC nurses were unified in our demands for a contract that reversed and halted UC management’s growing practice of short-staffing facilities, cutting back on resources, and forcing [registered nurses] to do more with less support,” said Marlene Tucay, an RN at UC Irvine and member of the CNC bargaining team, in a statement. “As a result of the commitment of all CNA members, we won a contract that will improve outcomes for nurses and our patients.” A UC spokeswoman was not immediately available for comment. The new contract, which also places restrictions on UC floating RNs between facilities and adds improvements to meal and rest breaks and workplace violence-prevention policies, covers the period Nov. 1, 2025, to Jan. 31, 2029. Under the contract, RNs were guaranteed a central role in selecting, designing and validating new technology, including artificial intelligence systems, the CNA stated. Registered nurses provide and coordinate patient care and educate patients and the public about various health conditions, according to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. CNA becomes the second major union to ratify a new labor contract with UC in recent days. On Nov. 20, the University Professional and Technical Employees-Communications Workers of America Local 9119, which represents 19, 664 healthcare, research and technical professionals, ratified its contract with UC. The UPTE-CWA union’s agreement provides a roughly 28% pay bump over the next four years, pension contributions, caps on health care premium increases, and improvements to career advancement steps and work-life balance. Bargaining between the university and CNA and UPTE-CWA began in June 2024 ahead of the contract expiration with each of the unions on Oct. 31, 2024. Earlier this month, after CNA and UPTE-CWA reached a tentative deal with UC, the unions cancelled plans to join picket lines with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 3299, which represents 37, 481 service and patient care technical workers at UC, ahead of a Nov. 17-18 strike. The plans to cancel participation in the strike would have brought more than 80, 000 union members including CNA, UPTE-CWA and AFSCME to the picket lines last Monday and Tuesday in what they described as a historic display of solidarity against UC. As of Saturday, AFSCME Local 3299 was still in talks with UC negotiators. That union’s contract also expired last year, with its members going out on strike Nov. 17-18. “UC’s disappointing tone deafness to the affordability crisis plaguing its lowest paid frontline workers persists,” said Todd Stenhouse, a spokesman for AFSCME Local 3299. Michael Avant, president of AFSCME Local 3299, has made a point of criticizing the UC system for spending billions of dollars acquiring new facilities, “lavishing exorbitant raises on its wealthiest executives and funding housing assistance programs to help these same ivory tower elites buy mansions or second homes” though not offering its frontline workers enough to “pay the rent or keep pace with the skyrocketing cost of groceries.”.

Lavelle’s goal leads Gotham over Spirit 1-0 for NWSL championship
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) Rose Lavelle scored in the 80th minute and the eighth-seeded Gotham FC beat the Washington Spirit 1-0 on Saturday night to win their second National Women’s Soccer League championship. Second-half substitute Bruninha drove into the box on the left wing and sent the ball across to Lavelle, whose left-footed shot sailed past Spirit goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury into the bottom corner of the net. It is the first NWSL championship title for Lavelle, who had scored in the 2023 final when she was playing for the Seattle Reign against Gotham in a 2-1 loss. After a strong opening 10 minutes of the match for Gotham, with three shots from Jaedyn Shaw, the final began to mature into a tense affair. There were few chances and the best of the first half came when Spirit midfielder Hal Hershfelt perfectly timed a slide tackle and cleaned out Midge Purce with the follow through. Not long after the half, Trinity Rodman was brought off the Spirit bench for Sofia Cantore, bringing the crowd to its feet. The U. S. women’s national team star was on limited minutes after suffering a knee sprain in October. Even with the introduction of Rodman, the Spirit continued to struggle to create chances. They had marginally more control of the ball, 53%, but were outshot by Gotham 12-6 and finished the game without a single shot on target. Rodman had zero shots and zero chances created. The second-seeded Spirit (14-6-8) suffered a second consecutive defeat in the NWSL final, having lost last year to the Orlando Pride in Kansas City, Missouri. The Spirit reached this year’s final by overcoming Racing Louisville 3-1 in a penalty shootout in the quarterfinals and then beating the Portland Thorns 2-0 in the semifinals. Gotham (11-8-9) had defied the odds to make the final, going on the road twice to defeat the top-seeded Kansas City Current 2-1 in the quarterfinal and the defending champions the Pride, 1-0. Gotham are the first eighth-seed to win the NWSL Championship. In 2023, when there were only six playoff spots, Gotham became the first sixth seed to lift the trophy. Head coach Juan Carlos Amoros has seven NWSL playoff wins in his career and two championships. ___ AP soccer:.

Thanksgiving food drives help struggling Bay Area families facing food insecurity: ‘Feed everybody’
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — With only five days until Thanksgiving, food drives are kicking off to help across the Bay Area to help families experiencing food insecurity enjoy a holiday meal. This is all at a time when so many people are struggling financially. Volunteers were cheering on every car, dropping off donations for the annual SF Turkey Drive. Pierre Smit founded the turkey drive in 2012. It’s a community call to action for frozen Turkeys and Thanksgiving food donations, which benefits the SF-Marin Food Bank and its partners. “This is extremely important. We want to make sure we feed everybody. We want to make sure we don’t have hungry people in San Francisco,” Smit said. “This is a very good thing. I want to see it do well and support St. Anthony’s and the food bank, for those who need it most,” said Donna Howe from San Francisco. MORE: Bay Area food banks in ‘crisis mode’ despite government shutdown ending San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie and his family stopped by to help collect food donations. “This is all about bringing community together, looking out for each other during this holiday season. We have an affordability crisis in the city and the country. We have to take care of each other. That’s what today is about,” Lurie said. The food bank says it’s a critical time for families facing food insecurity. Demand is higher now than at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. “We’re seeing a 205% spike in people coming to our food locator — that’s people going online, trying to find food,” said Angela Wirch from SF-Marin Food Bank. In the South Bay, a free drive-thru turkey giveaway in Santa Clara is lending a hand to a lot of families in need. “I said, ‘You know, I’m having a hard time, so I’m going to come by and get a turkey for my family,'” said Manuel Rojas. State Senator Aisha Wahab hosted the annual giveaway. She says it gets bigger every year. “We know there’s people who live in poverty and in the shadows,” Wahab said. On Thursday in Santa Cruz, demand overwhelmed supply at a drive-thru Thanksgiving food giveaway. Organizers ran out of food within hours after thousands of people showed up. “One of the things we’ve heard, they’ve either been laid off, struggling. They didn’t want to come and receive a turkey but can’t deny they’re in need this year,” Wahab said.

Maine’s Platner: ‘If I Had My Way’ Google and Palantir ‘Wouldn’t Exist’
WINDHAM, Maine-Senate candidate Graham Platner (D., Maine) said Google and Palantir “wouldn’t exist” if he had his way. “If I had my way, we would break all these companies up. Palantir wouldn’t exist. Google wouldn’t exist,” Platner said Saturday during a town hall in the southern Maine town of Windham. “We could have regulated this nonsense in a way that . would make sure that we’re doing it in a fashion that’s going to benefit workers and not just people in power.” Platner accused the companies of using personal data to fuel corporate profits and societal division. “All of your data does not belong to you. All of our data is used against us daily. Figuring out how to fleece us of money, how to keep us angry at each other. The only way that that changes, in my personal opinion, is policies that don’t allow that to happen. We’re not going to beat them on their terms. We’ve got to build our own weapons. We’ve got to build our own ability to fight back,” he continued. “We’ve got to do it, frankly, using the old fashioned ways, which is connecting, winning elections, building secondary power, getting structural power again, and then using that into the tax code, using the monopoly law, however we want to do it. That’s how we’re going to have to go about it.” Those remarks are Platner’s most aggressive to date on big tech. He has, however, said more broadly that he wants to break up monopolies and use the tax code “to get back money that was stolen from the working people. I want to go after companies that have stolen from the American people for decades at this point and accrued all of the wealth at the upper echelons,” Platner said during a Nov. 15 event. Platner’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

CRV Price Prediction: Oversold Bounce to $0.42-$0.50 Target Within 4 Weeks
CRV Price Prediction: Technical Setup Points to Recovery Rally Curve a critical level that would confirm the bullish Curve forecast. Success at this level targets the $0. 45-$0. 50 range, where the EMA 26 ($0. 46) provides interim resistance before challenging the psychological $0. 50 level. For this scenario to unfold, CRV needs sustained buying volume and broader crypto market stability. Bitcoin maintaining above key support levels would provide the necessary backdrop for altcoin recovery rallies. Bearish Risk for Curve The bearish scenario activates if CRV breaks below $0. 36 immediate support. This would target $0. 35 initially, with stronger support not appearing until $0. 18 the designated strong support level. Such a breakdown would invalidate the current CRV price prediction and suggest deeper structural issues. Key risk factors include broader crypto market deterioration, reduced DeFi activity affecting Curve’s utility, or technical breakdown below the 52-week low at $0. 37. Should You Buy CRV Now? Entry Strategy Based on current technical positioning, a strategic approach to CRV involves scaled entries near current levels. The optimal buy zone spans $0. 36-$0. 37, with the strongest conviction purchases at $0. 36 where immediate support meets long-term value. Risk management requires a stop-loss below $0. 35, limiting downside to approximately 5-8% from entry levels. Position sizing should reflect the medium confidence level in this CRV price prediction, suggesting 1-2% portfolio allocation for risk-conscious investors. The reward-to-risk ratio favors buyers at these levels, with potential 13-35% upside against 5-8% defined risk an attractive 2: 1 to 4: 1 setup supporting the decision to buy or sell CRV in favor of accumulation. CRV Price Prediction Conclusion The technical evidence strongly supports a CRV price prediction targeting $0. 42-$0. 50 over the next 4 weeks. Current oversold conditions, key support holding at $0. 37, and analyst consensus create a compelling bullish setup. Confidence Level: Medium to High for short-term bounce, Medium for extended rally to $0. 50. Key indicators to monitor include RSI maintaining above 30, volume expansion on any price advance, and the critical $0. 36 support level holding firm. The Curve forecast remains valid as long as the broader crypto market avoids significant deterioration and CRV maintains its position above the 52-week low support structure. Timeline expectations center on initial movement to $0. 42 within 1-2 weeks, with the full $0. 45-$0. 50 target range achievable within the month if momentum builds successfully.

DeWitt explodes for 34 second-half points to knock off Warren De La Salle
GRAND BLANC Traverse Moore took matters into his own hands Saturday afternoon. Or should we say feet. Moore, a senior quarterback from DeWitt, directed the Panthers’ Wing T offense to perfection, rushing for 263 yards in the second half alone in helping top-ranked DeWitt remain undefeated on the year with a 41-20 victory over unranked Warren De La Salle in a Division 3 state semifinals clash at Grand Blanc’s Don Batchelor Stadium. Moore finished his productive day with 29 carries for 319 yards and touchdown runs of 1, 52, 1, 14 and 87 yards to lead the Panthers to the Division 3 state championship game. For good measure, Moore was also 4-for-4 passing for 33 yards but his final four touchdowns came in the second half where at one time unbeaten DeWitt (13-0) scored 34 straight points to turn a 13-7 halftime deficit into a 41-13 lead by the midpoint of the fourth quarter. “I know a lot of people said that we didn’t play the tough schedule, so we have something to prove,” said Moore, whose team has outscored its opposition 673-148 this season, including 226-59 over four postseason games. “I think we have a really good football team and the seniors really want to win it this year after we lost in the semifinals last year.” With 27 seniors, DeWitt making the postseason for a 32nd time in program history will face fellow unbeaten and second-ranked Mt. Pleasant at 12: 30 p. m. on Nov. 29 in the Division 3 state finals at Ford Field in Detroit. The Panthers, who lost in the state semifinals last season, are trying to win their second state title in their storied history. Playing in its seventh state semifinals game over the last decade, DeWitt also won the D-3 crown in 2020 a season where the Panthers also defeated Warren De La Salle (43-3) during the regular season. “We made a couple of key stops in the third quarter and then Moore had several long runs in the second half. I think he’s very (underrated). He’s one of the best in the state and he proved that today,” said longtime DeWitt coach Rob Zimmerman. “I thought we came out in the second half and just played better.” Trailing 13-7 entering the third quarter De Witt slowly made its comeback but had to navigate an early turnover to do so. De La Salle’s Joey Marasco picked up a fumble at the Pilots’ own 37 and put together a drive down inside DeWitt territory. Buty three penalties in the drive, including a 10-yard flag on a fourth-and-three situation at the DeWitt 42 pushed the ball back to the De La Salle 48 and forced the team to punt away. De Witt made the Pilots pay with a swift four-play drive which saw Moore scamper 52 yards down the right side for the score and couple with a Rose extra point, tied the game at 13-13 with 6: 00 to go in the third quarter. That helped open the floodgates for the Panthers. On De La Salle’s next series, the Pilots botched a fake punt on fourth-and-eight from the DeWitt 43 and ended up losing 17 yards on the play and turned it over on downs back on the De La Salle 40-yard line. It didn’t take the Panthers very long to take the lead, as DeWitt used six plays to go 40 yards and Moore scored on a 1-yard keeper and Rose drilled the PAT for the 20-13 advantage with 1: 43 left in the third stanza. Forcing the Pilots to punt away on the final play of the third quarter, DeWitt struck again with 10: 11 left in the game for a 27-13 lead, as the talented and speedy Moore scored again on a 14-yard run. DeWitt’s Jadon Bender picked off De La Salle sophomore quarterback Grayson Thurston three plays later at the Panthers’ 48. Two plays later, Tyler Bashore scored on a 28-yard run and rose converted the extra point for a commanding 34-13 lead with 9: 00 to play. Again, forcing De La Salle to turn the ball over on downs on its next drive 20-yard pass play was just short on a fourth-and-21 situation at the DeWitt 21 the Panthers broke the Pilots back on its next drive. DeWitt used only three plays when Moore ran 87 yards untouched for another score and Rose hit the PAT with 4: 38 left to make it a 28-point lead. “I do think we came out (in the second half) and played with a chip on our shoulders,” admitted Moore. “We did not want to come up short again. We knew we could play better.” DeWitt scored 13 points in the third quarter and 21 points in the fourth quarter as part of its 34-0 run. “We just made too many mistakes, especially in the second half. We had too many penalties,” sighed De La Salle coach Dan Rohn, whose program has been to at least the Elite Eight in all six seasons with the Pilots, including Division 2 state titles in 2021 and 2022 and state runner-up showings in D-2 in 2020 and 2023. “We had the penalty on fourth down when we were moving downfield, and we had the (botched) fake punt. But it was more than those two plays. We just didn’t play very good overall in the second half after we played pretty well in the first half. You have to play a complete game against a team like DeWitt.” De La Salle (6-7) scored on its second drive after they returned a punt to its own 49. Four plays later, Anthony Bitonti scored on a 1-yard plunge and Jackson Tur booted the extra point for a 7-0 lead with 2: 44 left in the first quarter. DeWitt countered with a 12-play, 80-yard drive where Moore ended the series with a 1-yard touchdown run and Vincent Rose nailed his extra point. The Pilots’ Zach Wagner recovered a fumble in a scrum at the DeWitt 32 with just under five minutes to play in the half. Ten plays later, it was Bitonti who fought his way through traffic from 1 yard out to put his team up 13-7 with 1: 11 remaining in the half. The extra point attempt sailed wide left, leaving De La Salle with a seven-point lead at the half. It was the Pilots’ last lead of the season. “We had a great run, we just came up a little short today against a very good DeWitt team,” said Rohn. “When these seniors were freshmen, we had 48 play football but only 8 finished that journey with us today. We are a relatively a young team this year, so for us to get back to the (Final Four) with such a young group says a lot about the upperclassmen, their leadership and (willingness) to help us get this far.” Thurston still finished 14-for-23 passing for 176 yards, while senior Damion King IV had six catches for 120 yards for De La Salle. DeWitt outgained the Pilots by a 451-290 margin. Bashore added seven carries for 60 yards for the Panthers, who chalked up 418 rushing yards and 33 passing yards to advance to the state finals.

Auburn’s Malcom Simmons helps ignite offense in blowout win
Deuce Knight’s stellar performance in Auburn football’s 62-17 victory against Mercer would not have happened without the brilliance of wide receiver Malcom Simmons. Simmons put together 149 receiving yards on five receptions leading the receiving corps in yards. Cam Coleman also added five receptions for 53 yards and a touchdown right before halftime. “I thought Malcolm did tremendous on some of those scrambles coming back to the ball. Being a big-time receiver, coming back to his route and getting open for Deuce,” Durkin said postgame. “I thought that whole receiving group did a great job for him, and Deuce delivered the ball. The best part was Deuce was making the right decisions and delivering the ball where it was supposed to go. There’s a couple of those plays where it wasn’t quite how it was designed, but he just went and made a play,” Durkin added. On one of Knight’s six touchdowns, he connected with Simmons on a 91-yard touchdown, tying for the third longest touchdown pass in school history (Bo Nix to Anthony Schwartz vs. LSU in 2020). It was also Simmons’ first touchdown of the season. Knight broke down the play and how he and Simmons discussed it during pregame. “Malcolm, he the craziest athlete you will ever see in this world. Malcolm’s insane,” Knight said postgame. “So, you know, he just said, ‘Hey, just throw the ball up.’ He told me this in the hotel before we left. ‘Hey, just throw the ball up to me.’ I’m like, ‘I got you.’ And he said he was going to do that.” Simmons set a career high with 149 receiving yards, tying for 24th-most in a single game in Auburn history. It was the most receiving yards by a Tiger since KeAndre Lambert-Smith had 156 yards versus Arkansas on Sept. 21, 2024.
