Jan 18 (Reuters) - Southwest Airlines Co's (LUV.N) pilot union has called for a strike authorization vote, weeks after a tech meltdown at the carrier left tens of thousands of passengers stranded across the United States. Casey Murray, president of Southwest Airlines Pilot Association (SWAPA), said in a statement. The strike authorization vote will take place beginning May 1 and will be counted at the end of that month, said SWAPA, which represents more than 10,000 pilots. Southwest pilots have been locked in talks over a new contract with the airline for nearly three years.

☆ 'Secure 2.0' would provide a limited federal 'match' on contributions for retirement savers with lower income
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-22 | by ( Sarah O'Brien | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Under a provision included in a legislative proposal known as "Secure 2.0" — which is included in an omnibus appropriations bill that cleared the Senate on Thursday and awaited a House vote — a retirement "saver's match" would be implemented, essentially changing how an existing tax credit works. That amount would be a maximum 50% of up to $2,000 in contributions to a qualifying account (so a maximum $1,000 match per individual). The current credit isn't always useful for taxpayersThe move to allow a federal matching contribution is being sought because the current tax credit is nonrefundable, meaning that if you owe no federal income tax, you don't get the credit. The match would be "a direct, substantial way to increase the retirement savings of lower and middle-income workers, and incentivize good retirement planning habits," Carlisle said. More than 108 million people would be eligible for the saver's match, according to the American Retirement Association.

CNN —Golden State fans wait anxiously for a verdict on Steph Curry as the superstar guard will get an MRI after he suffered a shoulder injury in the Warriors’ 125-119 loss to the Indiana Pacers.

Lentils, beans, and peas are low-carbon protein sources that can help prevent fertilizer pollution.

We don't need to research what they do for the human body — there's mountains of research proving that. We don't need to research how many ways there are to cook it, because there's mountains of cookbooks also proving that. But we do need to understand what is this hesitancy among Americans to eat beans," Ichikawa told Insider.

"We believe it's unfair," he added, pointing out that none of the South Korean automaker's EVs qualify for the credit. Munoz said U.S. legislators should offer companies investing in the United States some type of waiver or a longer transition period. Automakers are trying to figure out how their vehicles will meet the new law's requirements to qualify for EV tax credits. Details of the act are still being ironed out and the U.S. Treasury is currently taking comments on how to implement the rules around the EV tax credits. "We're pretty well positioned," he said at the Reuters conference, citing the Detroit automaker's four U.S. battery plants the company has announced and its raw materials supply deals.

☆ A TALK WITH MILAN KUNDERA

The nature of his achievement may explain in part why Kundera is so fiercely protective of his privacy. Warned by mutual friends that the Soviet subjugation of his country had made Kundera mistrustful of Russians - all Russians - I felt I should mention my Russian origin. MILAN KUNDERA AND HIS WIFE, VERA, LIVE ON ONE of the quiet sidestreets of Montparnasse; their small apartment is a remodeled garret with a view of dove-gray Parisian roofs. Some are by Czechoslovak artists; the others are by Kundera himself - multicolored outsized heads and long-fingered hands, like Kundera's own. Vera Kundera is a pretty brunette, hair cut short, slender in blue jeans.
