Si recibió un crédito de viaje por un vuelo cancelado de Delta Air Lines, es posible que pueda reclamarlo como un reembolso en efectivo, con intereses.Como parte de un acuerdo de demanda colectiva, los clientes de Delta con vuelos cancelados entre el 1 de marzo de 2020 y el 30 de abril de 2021 tienen derecho a un reembolso completo en efectivo, en lugar de los créditos de viaje que probablemente recibieron.La demanda alega que la aerolínea incumplió sus contratos de transporte al negarse a reembolsar en efectivo los vuelos cancelados durante la pandemia del COVID-19. Si bien Delta niega haber actuado mal, la compañía acordó llegar a un acuerdo en la demanda para evitar más litigios.“Delta no admite ni reconoce que no cumplió con su contrato de transporte o que no proporcionó reembolsos de acuerdo con su contrato de transporte”, dijo la aerolínea en un comunicado proporcionado a CNBC Make It.“Desde principios de 2020 hemos reembolsado más de 11 millones de billetes por un total...

Fans try to put cloud of gambling investigation to the side as Iowa-Iowa State rivalry game arrives

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:43:18 GMT

The rivalry game between Iowa and Iowa State always ratchets up the intensity of both fan bases every year, even if the two programs are unranked as they are this season. This year’s game for the CyHawk Trophy on Saturday in Ames will be a bit different and not just because former President Donald Trump is expected to attend. Both schools are the subject of an investigation into illegal sports wagering that resulted in criminal charges and suspensions involving athletes.Five Iowa State players who were projected to be starters before the season are suspended. Three face an aggravated misdemeanor charge in connection to alleged gambling, and two agreed to plead guilty to a lesser charge. Iowa is missing at least one projected starter, who was suspended but not charged. Other football players are suspended as the two schools head into their 70th overall meeting in a series that began in 1894.“We’d be a better team with our guys out there,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. “I’m sure...

Online gig work is growing rapidly, but workers lack job protections, a World Bank report says

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:43:18 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Online gig work is growing globally, particularly in the developing world, creating an important source of employment for women and young people in poorer countries where jobs are scarce, according to a World Bank report released Thursday.The report estimates the number of global online gig workers at as many as 435 million people and says demand for gig work increased 41% between 2016 and the first quarter of 2023. That boost is generating concern, though, among worker rights advocates about the lack of strong job protections in the gig economy, where people work job to job with little security and few employment rights.While location-based gig services such as Uber, Lyft and TaskRabbit require labor like moving and delivery, online gig assignments can be largely done at home. Tasks include image tagging, data entry, website design and software development.For women in the developing world, “there aren’t enough opportunities and they really struggle to get good qu...

This room, in particular. There were some tears shed. A lot,” Osaka, who won two of her four major championships at Flushing Meadows, said with a chuckle in the Grand Slam tournament’s main interview room. “I feel a lot of joy coming back here. It’s kind of like seeing an old friend I haven’t seen in a long time.”Wednesday’s gathering, which also included Michael Phelps, a 23-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer, and U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, touched on topics such as loneliness, connecting with others via a “buddy system,” the role of social media in mental health struggles and parenting.Osaka is a 25-year-old who was born in Japan an...
