Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:55:22 GMT

Stop if you’ve heard this before but Steph Curry is dialed in from deep, however, this time with a short iron in his hand.The Golden State Warriors superstar aced the 152-yard seventh hole at the American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament on Saturday afternoon in Lake Tahoe.It was Curry’s second career ace yet you’d never guess that watching his exuberant celebration. The two-time NBA MVP tossed his hat and sprinted up the fairway even running past his ball in the cup.Curry’s ace was the first of the ACC Championship. He received six points for the stroke of brilliance and continued to lead the tournament late into Saturday afternoon after being at the top of the leaderboard Friday.The unique point system — perhaps to avoid seeing some ugly numbers from celebs and athletes alike — awards one point for pars, three points for birdies and six points for eagles. Double bogeys or worse are two-point deductions.Tennis player Mardy Fish has been on Curry...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s a “Strike Girl Summer.”So read a picket sign as the sidewalks of Hollywood and midtown Manhattan teemed with actors on Day 1 of their strike, protesting alongside the writers who have been at it since May.Together, the two guilds have ground the entertainment industry to a halt. On both coasts, though, there was a buoyant mood in the air as picket lines were reinvigorated by the support of some of the 65,000 actors who comprise SAG-AFTRA (98% of members voted to approve a strike back in June).This is Hollywood’s biggest labor fight in six decades, and the first dual strike since 1960, reigniting the fervor against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers just as a historic heat wave hits Southern California.Outside the Warner Bros. studios in Burbank, California, throngs of protesters chanted: “Fists up, curtains down, LA is a union town.” Food trucks flanking organizers’ tents served churros, boba tea and cold lemonade to pro...

United Airlines agrees to give union pilots big pay raises

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:55:22 GMT

United Airlines and the union representing its pilots said Saturday they reached agreement on a contract that will raise pilot pay by up to 40% over four years.The union valued the agreement at about $10 billion. It followed more than four years of tumultuous bargaining that included picketing and talk of a strike vote. The deal reflects the leverage enjoyed by labor groups, especially pilots, as airline revenue soars on the strong recovery in travel. The Air Line Pilots Association said the agreement, which is subject to a ratification vote, would put United pilots on par with counterparts at Delta Air Lines, who approved a pay-raising deal earlier this year.The union said the agreement includes substantial increases in pay, retirement benefits and job security. At least on pay, the deal appears far better than one that United pilots rejected last November.Once the deal is approved, pilots will get immediate wage-rate increases of 13.8% to 18.7%, depending on the type of plane they...
