FedEx pilots reject 30% pay hike proposal, but a strike isn’t imminent

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:00:42 GMT

New York (CNN) — Pilots for FedEx have rejected a tentative labor deal. But that doesn’t mean they’re about to walk off the job just as UPS is threatened with its own strike by 340,000 drivers and other hourly ground workers.The FedEx pilots who belong to the Air Line Pilots Association voted 57% against the proposed contract, which was reached in May and endorsed by union leadership. The proposed contract would have provided for a 30% pay increase, as well as a 30% improvement in pension benefit. Major objections from the rank-and-file are not yet clear.But even with the “no” vote, the 5,200 FedEx pilots won’t be able to go on strike any time soon. They work under a different labor law than most private sector employees, who are allowed to go on strike when their contracts expire, as is the case with the Teamsters at UPS, who could be on strike as soon as August 1.FedEx pilots are covered by the Railway Labor Act, which despite the name, covers both rail workers and airline employe...

Russia places explosive mines near occupied nuclear reactor, watchdog says

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:00:42 GMT

KYIV — Russian forces occupying Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant have placed explosive mines near the facility, warned the chief of the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).The mines were located in a buffer zone between the plant’s internal and external barriers and were facing away from the facility; they were spotted during a Sunday walk-around by IAEA inspectors.“Having such explosives on the site is inconsistent with the IAEA safety standards and nuclear security guidance and creates additional psychological pressure on plant staff,” the agency’s Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said in a statement issued Monday.This is the second month in a row that the U.N. atomic watchdog has reported the presence of explosives both outside and inside the perimeter of the nuclear plant, which Russian security personnel on site explained were for defensive purposes.Grossi’s warning comes as authorities in Kyiv are also rais...

UK plan to slash carbon emissions risks public ‘backlash,’ senior minister warns

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:00:42 GMT

LONDON — U.K. plans to tackle climate change risk a “backlash” if they hit voters in the pocket, a senior government minister warned Tuesday, amid intense debate in British politics about environmental policy. Both the ruling Conservatives and opposition Labour Party have vowed to learn lessons from a London by-election widely seen as a de facto referendum on a green tax aimed at cleaning up the capital city’s air.Pushed on that result, Leveling Up Secretary Michael Gove told Times Radio Tuesday: “It’s important that the government does press ahead with appropriate and thoughtful steps in order to safeguard the environment — but there are some specific areas where the cost that is being imposed on individuals risks creating a backlash.”The U.K. government has in recent days hinted it may back away from some of its key climate policies — amid pressure from MPs on the right of the Conservative party. In a series of interviews with broadcasters Monda...

Heating Up!

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:00:42 GMT

The warm and humid air is back for more today. This summer has been the summer of humidity, not so much the summer of heat. That’ll change later this week. Today is not about the heat, though. We’ll climb to the middle 80s with muggy and sticky air back for more. You’ll probably notice a touch more humidity today than what it felt yesterday. We’ll also see a few storms pop up this afternoon and evening.The storms we see later today will be scattered and it won’t storm everywhere nor will it storm all afternoon and evening long. It will be on and off, probably more off than on. That said, with the humidity and warm air in place, that’ll be enough storm fuel to produce a few strong or severe storms. I think our main threat will simply be downpours and lightning. Lightning can be plenty dangerous and you should head inside if you hear thunder or see lightning, but it’s not enough for a storm to be classified as severe. The severe component of t...
