A Federal appeals court blocked the import ban of Apple Watches on December 27 following an appeal by Apple to the court and to the ITC, allowing Apple to temporarily resume sales of the Watches on its web site until at least January 10 when presumably the ITC might be able to hear Apple's appeal. President Biden did not act on the appeal on his desk before his deadline, allowing the ban to go into effect.

What happens now is anyone's guess. I think Apple was pretty blatant in stealing the tech for monitoring blood oxygen and should be punished, whether it rates a ban or a whomping huge fine, I don't know.

I vote for the ban.
A fine would have to be massive to make them blink. :o

Arbitration didn't work for my union at work. :(
We ended up in arbitration trying to get the 6% raise Mayo have almost everybody but the union, and big surprise, they sided with Mayo and we once again got snubbed on the raise.

They are talking really big now about getting that raise because we are going into contract negotiations next month I think.
My thoughts are, If they didn't give it to us a year ago, and they won the arbitration, what makes the union think Mayo will cough it up now. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A temporary reprieve, and now the appeals will happen as far as they can go to keep that reprieve going, at least until Apple can get someone who will rule their way.
