Musk, X Corp to settle US$500-million lawsuit over Twitter firings
NEW YORK — Elon Musk and his social media company X Corp have reached a tentative agreement to settle a lawsuit filed by former Twitter employees who said they were owed US$500 million in severance pay. Attorneys for X Corp and the former Twitter employees reported the deal in a Wednesday court filing, in which both sides asked a U.S. appeals court to delay an upcoming court hearing so that they could finalize a deal that would pay the fired employees and end the litigation. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. ADVERTISEMENT Musk fired approximately 6,000 employees after his 2022 acquisition of Twitter, which he rebranded X. Several employees sued over their terminations and severance pay, and other lawsuits are still pending in courts in Delaware and California. The settlement would resolve a proposed class action filed in California by Courtney McMillian, who previously oversaw Twitter's employee benefits programs as its 'head of total rewards,' and Ronald Cooper, who was an operations manager. A federal judge in San Francisco dismissed the employees' lawsuit in July 2024, and they appealed to the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Court of Appeals. The Ninth Circuit had been scheduled to hear oral arguments on Sept. 17. Attorneys for Musk and McMillian did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Thursday. The lawsuit argued that a 2019 severance plan guaranteed that most Twitter workers would receive two months of their base pay plus one week of pay for each full year of service if they were laid off. Senior employees such as McMillian were owed six months of base pay, according to the lawsuit. But Twitter only gave laid-off workers at most one month of severance pay, and many of them did not receive anything, according to the lawsuit. Twitter laid off more than half of its workforce as a cost-cutting measure after Musk acquired the company. (Reporting by Dietrich Knauth, Editing by Alexia Garamfalvi and Rod Nickel)

Verizon vs. AT&T: Which Telecom Stock Has More Upside Potential?
Verizon Communications Inc. VZ and AT&T, Inc. T are prominent players in the telecommunications industry. As one of the leading wireless carriers in the United States, Verizon delivers communication services to a vast customer base across the public sector, small, medium businesses and global enterprises as well. AT&T is also one of the larger telecom companies in North America, boasts a large user base and offers a wide array of communication and business solutions that include wireless, local exchange, long-distance, data/broadband and Internet, video, managed networking, wholesale and cloud-based services. Per Grand View Research, the U.S. telecom services market is expected to witness a 6.6% compound annual growth rate between 2024 and 2030. The U.S. Fiber to the home market size is projected to grow from $10.7 billion to $21.5 billion in 2030 with a CAGR of 12.7%. Let us analyze in depth the competitive strengths and weaknesses of the companies to understand which of AT&T or Verizon is in a better position to maximize gains from these emerging market trends. The Case for AT&T 5G deployment and adoption in the United States is driven by a multitude of forces. Spectrum availability and regulatory support were the initial drivers of 5G growth, but currently growing usage of several high-end applications across several sectors has become a key driver. 5G networks enable high-speed internet with low latency. Advanced use cases such as AI applications, IoT devices and cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) applications require a network connectivity. AT&T is focusing on network infrastructure modernization to gain from this 5G boom. In order to have a seamless transition among Wi-Fi, Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and 5G services, AT&T intends to deploy a standards-based nationwide mobile 5G network. Its 5G service entails the utilization of millimeter wave spectrum for deployment in dense pockets, while in suburban and rural areas, it intends to deploy 5G on mid- and low-band spectrum holdings. The company's also aggressively expanding its fiber infrastructure across the country. Its fiber broadband network has reached 30 million consumer and business locations across the United States. The company is also collaborating with Ericsson to deploy a commercial-scale open radio access network (Open RAN) across the country to help build a more robust ecosystem of network infrastructure providers and suppliers. The Open RAN architecture facilitates healthy competition among vendors for the supply of essential components and reduces dependence on a single manufacturer. It is likely to offer more flexibility, lower costs and help develop novel ideas to monetize the network. AT&T aims to deploy Open RAN for 70% of its wireless network traffic across open-capable platforms by late 2026. AT&T is also collaborating with Microsoft to move its 5G mobile network to the latter's cloud. The process will start with AT&T's 5G core, which is the 5G network's main software that connects mobile users with the Internet. The move will enable AT&T to enhance productivity and deliver large-scale network services to meet customers' needs. The company has extended its long-standing business relationship with Google Cloud to offer end-to-end solutions for improved customer experiences. However, the company's margin is affected by intensifying competition in the 5G and Fiber Broadband market. The company faces stiff competition from other industry leaders such as T-Mobile, US, Inc. TMUS and Verizon. T-Mobile has a strong position in the U.S. 5G market. The company's 5G network covers 98% of Americans, or 330 million people in the country. About 55% of postpaid customers are using a 5G phone, and 5G devices account for more than half of the total network traffic. The company is steadily expanding into underserved rural regions, which could pose a challenge to AT&T's 5G initiatives. The Case for Verizon Verizon is witnessing significant 5G adoption and fixed wireless broadband momentum. The telecom giant plans to accelerate the availability of its 5G Ultra-Wideband network across the country. Its 5G network hinges on three fundamental drivers to deliver the full potential of next-generation wireless technology. These include massive spectrum holdings, particularly in the millimeter-wave bands for faster data transfer, end-to-end deep fiber resources and the ability to deploy a large number of small cells. The company's C-Band spectrum offers greater coverage for 5G networks and greater speeds than on low-band spectrum, and paves the way to provide differentiated service of 5G Ultra-Wideband to millions of customers. Verizon's customer segmentation strategy, which categorizes different client groups, helps it deliver tailored solutions to different sectors. Such personalized offerings help in client retention and drive average revenue per account growth. Its three-year price lock guarantee will ensure the core monthly plan price for calling, data and texting will not change in the next three-year period, excluding taxes, fees and perks. The company also introduced cutting-edge AI-native features to boost customer service. Such initiatives are driving customer engagement. However, the company operates in a highly competitive U.S. wireless market. High market saturation has made the customer base highly price sensitive, leaving little room for price adjustments. In a bid to expand its customer base, Verizon is spending heavily on promotion and is also offering lucrative discounts, which are weighing on company recorded high capital expenditures in order to support the launch and continued build-out of its 5G Ultra Wideband network, deployment of significant fiber assets across the country and upgrade to Intelligent Edge Network architecture. It remains unclear if and when a reasonable return can be achieved from such investments. To counter these issues, the company has been steadily expanding its portfolio offerings to develop advanced use cases. It has introduced Edge Transportation Exchange, a state-of-the-art mobile-network vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication platform for connected vehicles. The cutting-edge solution incorporates Verizon's industry-leading 5G, LTE mobile networks, and Verizon 5G Edge mobile edge compute to enable vehicles to communicate and share important data with each other. Such initiatives open up new streams for revenue generation and bode well for long-term growth. How Do Zacks Estimates Compare for VZ & T? The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Verizon's 2025 sales and EPS implies year-over-year growth of 2.51% and 2.4%, respectively. The EPS estimates have moved northward over the past 60 days. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AT&T's 2025 sales indicates growth of 2.16% year over year, while EPS is projected to decline 9.29%. The EPS estimates have been trending upward over the past 60 days. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Price Performance & Valuation of VZ & T Over the past year, Verizon has gained 9.6% compared with the industry 's growth of 27%. T has gained 50.8% over the same period. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Verizon looks more attractive than AT&T from a valuation standpoint. Going by the price/earnings ratio, Verizon's shares currently trade at 9.28 forward earnings, lower than 13.41 for AT&T. VZ or T: Which is a Better Pick? Verizon and AT&T carry a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) each. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. Both companies are swiftly strengthening their 5G infrastructure and are also aggressively venturing into the fiber broadband market. However, with a customer-centric business model, AT&T is witnessing healthy momentum in its postpaid wireless business with a lower churn rate and increased adoption of higher-tier unlimited plans. Strategic collaboration with various industry leaders to improve customer experience is a positive factor. Its extensive network modernization efforts will boost prospects in the long run. With better price performance and upward estimate revision, AT&T appears to be a better investment option at the moment.

U.S. flight attendants are fed up like their Air Canada peers. Here's why they aren't likely to strike
At the end of work trips, Nathan Miller goes home to a makeshift bedroom in his parents' house in Virginia. The 29-year-old flight attendant is part of a PSA Airlines crew based in Philadelphia, but Miller says he can't afford to live there. He makes about US$24,000 a year working full-time for the American Airlines subsidiary. Despite often staffing multiple flights a day, Miller commutes by plane between Virginia Beach and Philadelphia International Airport, a distance of about 215 miles. 'I've considered finding a whole new job. It's not something that I want to do,' Miller, who joined PSA two years ago, said. 'But it's not sustainable.' His situation isn't unique. Frustrations among flight attendants at both regional and legacy airlines have been building for years over paychecks that many of them say don't match the weight of what their jobs demand. Compounding the discontent over hourly wages is a long-standing airline practice of not paying attendants for the work they perform on the ground, like getting passengers on and off planes. Air Canada's flight attendants put a public spotlight on these simmering issues when about 10,000 of them walked off the job last weekend, forcing the airline to cancel more than 3,000 flights. The strike ended Tuesday with a tentative deal that includes wage increases and, for the first time, pay for boarding passengers. In the United States, however, the nearly century-old Railway Labor Act makes it far more difficult for union flight attendants like Miller, a member of the Association of Flight Attendants, to strike than most other American workers. Unlike the Boeing factory workers and Hollywood writers and actors who collectively stopped work in recent years, U.S. airline workers can only strike if federal mediators declare an impasse — and even then, the president or Congress can intervene. For that reason, airline strikes are exceedingly rare. The last major one in the U.S. was over a decade ago by Spirit Airlines pilots, and most attempts since then have failed. American Airlines flight attendants tried in 2023 but were blocked by mediators. Without the ultimate bargaining chip, airline labor unions have seen their power eroded in contract talks that now stretch far beyond historical norms, according to Sara Nelson, the international president of the AFA. Negotiations that once took between a year and 18 months now drag on for three years, sometimes more. 'The right to strike is fundamental to collective bargaining, but it has been chipped away,' Nelson said. Her union represents 50,000 attendants, including the ones at United Airlines, Alaska Airlines and PSA Airlines. On Monday, she joined PSA flight attendants in protest outside Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, near where an airliner operated by PSA crashed into the Potomac River in January after colliding with an Army helicopter. All 67 people on the two aircraft were killed, including the plane's pilot, co-pilot and two flight attendants. The airline's flight attendants also demonstrated outside three other U.S. airports. In a statement, PSA called the demonstrations 'one of the important ways flight attendants express their desire to get a deal done — and we share the same goal.' Flight attendants say their jobs have become more demanding in recent years. Planes are fuller, and faster turnaround times between flights are expected. Customers may see them mostly as uniforms that serve food and beverages, but the many hats attendants juggle include handling in-flight emergencies, deescalating conflicts and managing unruly passengers. 'We have to know how to put out a lithium battery fire while at 30,000 feet, or perform CPR on a passenger who's had a heart attack. We're trained to evacuate a plane in 90 seconds, and we're always the last ones off,' said Becky Black, a PSA flight attendant in Dayton, Ohio, who is part of the union's negotiating team. And yet, Black says, their pay hasn't kept pace. PSA flight attendants have been bargaining for over two years for better wages and boarding pay. Alaska flight attendants spent just as long in talks before reaching a deal in February. At American, flight attendants began negotiations on a new contract in 2020 but didn't get one until 2024. Southwest Airlines attendants pushed even longer — over five years — before winning a new deal last year that delivered an immediate 22 per cent wage hike and annual 3 per cent increases through 2027. 'It was a great relief,' Alison Head, a longtime Southwest flight attendant based in Atlanta, said. 'Coming out of COVID, where you saw prices were high and individuals struggling, it really meant something.' The contract didn't include boarding pay but secured the industry's first paid maternity and parental leave, a historic win for the largely female workforce. A mother of two, Head said she returned to work 'fairly quickly' after having her first child because she couldn't afford to stay home. 'Now, new parents don't have to make that same hard decision,' she said. Many of her peers at other airlines are still waiting for their new contracts. At United, attendants rejected a tentative agreement last month, with 71 per cent voting no. The union is now surveying its members to understand why and plans to return to the bargaining table in December. One major sticking point: boarding pay. While Delta became the first U.S. airline to offer it in 2022 — followed by American and Alaska — many flight attendants still aren't compensated during what they call the busiest part of their shift. Back in Virginia Beach, Miller is still trying to make it work. On family vacations during his childhood, Miller said he was fascinated by flight attendants and their ability to make people feel comfortable and safe. Now he's got his dream job, but he isn't sure he can afford to keep doing it. --- Rio Yamat, The Associated Press
