(Pittsburgh, PA) Chelsea Zahn, a former Steelers employee, has filed a lawsuit alleging she faced discrimination and unequal pay compared to her male coworkers during her tenure from 2013 to 2024. According to the lawsuit, Zahn claims she experienced multiple instances of discrimination and a hostile work environment, being passed over for promotions due to her sex and age. Zahn alleges that her salary and commission structure were lower than those of her male colleagues, although she received one promotion. Zahn also claims that she was required to attend events that her male coworkers were not, simply because she had no children, and asserts she was discriminated against for not conforming to gender stereotypes. Zahn was informed that her bonus of $100,625 would be paid in February of 2025. when she stepped down in September of 2024. However, the lawsuit states that Steelers President Art Rooney decided not to pay the full commission because he was “upset she left the company.” Instead, a check for $50,000 was issued, which Zahn did not cash, claiming she was not paid the full amount. The lawsuit also states that Zahn suffered emotional, psychological, and physical distress and alleges gender discrimination, retaliation, and violations of the Equal Pay Act, the Civil Rights Act, and human relations law. The Steelers organization has declined to comment on the lawsuit.

(Washington, D.C.) According to a release in Washington D.C. from Senator John Fetterman’s office, U.S. Senators Fetterman (D-PA), Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) introduced the Credit Card Fairness Act yesterday, which is legislation that would put into statute the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s popular $8 cap on credit card late fees. Consumers pay $14 billion per year in credit card late fees currently, which pads the profits of the largest banks. The standard late fee of $30 to $41 is up to five times higher than the cost for banks of collecting late paymentswhich allows banks to profit from customers who are struggling to make ends meet. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau enacted a rule previously which capped these fees at $8 and it was stalled in litigation brought by the large banks. This legislation would codify the cap of $8 in law.

(Philadelphia, PA) Federal prosecutors are giving charges to twenty-six people, which included former college basketball players who allegedly as recently as last season tried to fix games, in what they call a scheme to rig NCAA and Chinese Basketball Association games. Fifteen people played basketball for Divison I NCAA schools as recently as the 2024-2025 season that were part of the defendants named in the indictment from today and five others were described as fixers by authorities. The charges were filed in federal court in Philadelphia and they include bribery, conspiracy and wire fraud. Authorities state that the fixers used “bribe payments” that were usually ranging from $10,000 to $30,000 per game to recruit the college basketball players. The indictment follows investigations from the NCAA that led to at least ten players receiving bans for the rest of their lives. Robert Morris University, which is located in Moon Township, was one of the seventeen schools that was named in the indictment. Markeese Hastings, a former men’s basketball player from Robert Morris University, was one of the people charged in relation to this scheme.
