Labour unions desperate for new members see possible boon in new immigration order
In this Dec. 19, 2014 photo, Felipe Diasdado poses at his home in Chicago. Unions across the U.S. are reaching out to immigrants affected by President Barack Obama’s recent executive action, hoping to expand their dwindling ranks by recruiting millions of workers who entered the U.S. illegally. Diosdado, who came to the U.S. illegally in 1997 who joined a union while working at a construction site 14 years ago, says many undocumented people he knows are working for cash at small businesses that aren’t unionized because they’re afraid to apply at larger job sites that are more likely to verify a worker’s immigration status.“It’s a risk, but you always have a risk,” said the 36-year-old father of two.

Everyone has a theory about who hacked Sony: North Korea? Disgruntled insiders?
FILE - In this Dec. 22, 2014, file photo, a South Korean army soldier walks near a TV screen showing an advertisement of Sony Picture's "The Interview," at the Seoul Railway Station in Seoul, South Korea. It seems everyone has a theory about who really hacked Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. Despite President Barack Obama’s conclusion that North Korea was the culprit, the Internet’s newest game of whodunit continues. Top theories include disgruntled Sony insiders, hired hackers, other foreign governments or Internet hooligans. Even some experts are undecided, with questions about why the communist state would steal and leak gigabytes of data, email threats to some Sony employees and their families then threaten moviegoers who planned to watch “The Interview” on Christmas.

It's not yet clear whether this will be enough to repair Sony's image, but the decision will at least give the movie-going public a chance to send North Korea a protest message.
