The UAW is currently in the third week of an ongoing strike against the Detroit 3 automakers, General Motors (GM.N), Ford and Chrysler parent Stellantis (STLAM.MI).

Should Mack workers have gone on strike, it could have strained the UAW's limited strike fund.

BRIGHTON, England, Oct 2 (Reuters) - For Josh Hughes-Davies, the best thing about his job in a bar in the coastal city of Brighton is the free meal with every shift.

For his manager, Barrie Chapman, the overtime he now gets is a huge boost once unheard of in the hospitality sector. Their regional manager Jen Eaton looks back in horror at the 14-hour shifts she once worked in casinos in heels with no break.

Like thousands of others in lower-paid sectors of the British economy, all three have benefited from a gradual improvement in employment terms since the global pandemic and Brexit forced companies to work harder to find staff in a tight labour market.

The shift follows years of warnings from unions and campaign groups that the balance of power in Britain had swung too far towards employers, leaving many lower-paid staff working unpredictable hours with poor benefits and little protection.

Nick Collins, CEO of Loungers (LGRS.L) which employs Eaton, Chapman and Hughes-Davies among 8,000 staff in restaurants and bars across Britain, said expectations of employees had risen.

"And rightly so. The combination of Brexit and COVID have transformed the market," he told Reuters.

The girl was last seen around 6:15 p.m. ET riding her bike in one of the park’s loops, Lt. Colonel Richard L. Mazzone, of the New York State Police, said in the news conference.

At about 6:45 p.m., her bike was found in the loop, Mazzone said.

Two minutes later, her mother called authorities to report her missing.

Charlotte was last seen wearing an orange tie-dyed Pokémon shirt, dark blue pants, black Crocs and a grey bike helmet, according to a description provided by the state police. She is White with blonde hair, about 4’ 6” tall, with green eyes, authorities said.

An AMBER alert was issued Sunday morning, Mazzone said.

“We took that step of issuing the AMBER alert because we felt, after (our) exhaustive search, when we couldn’t find her here, it was quite possible that an abduction had taken place,” he added.

For more than 18 hours, state authorities have been searching for the child and have deployed aviation and underwater rescue teams, blood hounds, drones and technology experts have also been called in to analyze “other forms of communications in the park at that time,” the governor said.

In 2015, Billingsley was sentenced to 30 years in prison, with 16 years suspended, after he pleaded guilty to a first-degree sex offense, court records show.

The Maryland sex offender registry shows he was released from prison in October. The registry classified him in "tier 3," which includes the most serious charges and requires offenders to register for life.
