(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.

(Harrisburg, PA) The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners will now discuss potentially moving the start of firearms deer season at their first meeting of 2026. There will be meetings on January 23rd and January 24th and they include two proposals on the start of the season for hunters. The first proposal would move the start of the season to the Saturday before Thanksgiving and the second proposal is to keep it on that date. If that decision holds, firearms bear season would also be moved to a week earlier, as well as early bear muzzleloader, archery and special firearms season would be shortened to a weekend.

(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 payments, which 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.
