Rep. Frank Pallone Demands U.S. Airlines Disclose Use of AI in Ticket Pricing

Rep. Frank Pallone Jr., the ranking Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, has requested information from eight major U.S. airlines regarding their use of passengers' personal data and artificial intelligence to determine ticket prices. This inquiry is part of a broader investigation into 'surveillance pricing,' a practice where companies use consumer data to set individualized prices. Pallone's concern centers on the potential for airlines to manipulate prices based on personal data, which could lead to consumers paying more. The airlines contacted include Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines. Pallone has asked these companies to respond by August 25, 2026.

Colorado Court of Appeals Rules on Wage-Discussion Retaliation Claims Without Gender Discrimination Allegations

Colorado Court of Appeals Rules on Wage-Discussion Retaliation Claims Without Gender Discrimination Allegations

The Colorado Court of Appeals has issued a significant ruling in the case of Verheggen v. Adams County Department of Human Services, determining that employees do not need to allege gender discrimination to pursue retaliation claims under the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act (EPEWA) and the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA). Emily Camp Verheggen, a former intake supervisor at the Adams County Department of Human Services, filed a lawsuit after being suspended without pay following her demand for back wages. The court found that the statutes independently prohibit employer retaliation against employees who discuss or disclose their wages, regardless of whether the complaint involves gender discrimination. This decision reverses a lower court's dismissal of Verheggen's claims, emphasizing that the anti-retaliation provisions of EPEWA and CADA are distinct from their gender discrimination components.
