Strikes disrupt travel bookings amid crowded holidays
Strikes at United Air Lines and National Airlines have nearly sold out seats across major U S routes for Christmas and New Year weeks, with long phone delays and jammed trains as travelers scramble. Amtrak reports sold out New York to Florida trains and limited options on Seattle to San Francisco, Chicago to Denver, and Cleveland to Chicago routes. National Airlines rejects union concessions and vows to press a court fight over a 15 week strike, citing bad faith bargaining and demands for higher pay and contract changes.

Sanitation concerns linger as GAO flags restaurant condition gaps
A GAO report based on FDA sampling in nine cities finds about 90 percent of roughly 14 736 restaurants may be unsanitary. Of 185 inspected, 133 or 89.8 percent probably failed standards, with New York singled out for not a single compliant site. The study criticizes state and local enforcement as inadequately funded and empowered, relying on re inspections rather than closures.
