Delta told workers to spend money on video games and beer instead of union dues. It didn’t go well.
Delta Air Lines planes are seen reflected at Salt Lake City International Airport on July 5. By Eli Rosenberg Eli Rosenberg General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow May 10 at 6:02 AM Two posters made by Delta as part of an effort to dissuade thousands of its workers from joining a union drew a torrent of criticism after they were posted on social media Thursday.
“You know what sounds fun @Delta,” Rick Smith, a liberal podcaster, tweeted. “Health care. A living wage. Dignity. Respect. A voice on the job. Safe working condition. Retirement security. $700 Is a great investment once you look at all you benefit from.” I say to Delta: Stop trying to undercut workers' right to form a union and negotiate for better wages. https://t.co/8fx30jIfJf
“Some are like what you saw today — a stupid insulting message to spend your money on a video game system instead of union dues,” he said. “They try to interfere with the employees’ exercise of freedom of association. And that’s not allowed.” Funny that @Delta thinks this is going to work. Young workers aren’t dummies. pic.twitter.com/2l8DMHUg04
“It’s a multibillion-dollar industry,” Compa said. “It’s standard operating procedure for companies when workers start organizing."— Occupy Wall Street May 10, 2019 Carlson said Delta had been meeting with employees to push back on the union campaign. “There’s all this wealth flowing to the top, and workers are starting to say, wait a minute, we deserve a share of this,” he said. “The expectation was that [millennials] were very individualistic and they wouldn’t be interested in unionizing. But they’ve faced the same problems that workers in a subordinated employment relationship have always faced — pressure for more production, more hours of work ... all the while holding down wages and benefits.
