A photo of a poster that discourages Delta employees to join the union has gone viral for its argument that union fees would be better spent on video games.
Discovered by Common Dreams editor Eoin Higgins, the poster is being lampooned for its tone deaf bargaining with the message “Union Dues cost around $700 a year. A new video game system with the latest hits sounds like fun. Put your money towards that instead of paying dues to the union."If the poster is legitimate, Delta Airlines is seemingly attempting to bust a nascent union from forming within its workforce.
According to Delta, IAM agents will supposedly show up at worker homes unannounced, spam workers with pro-union missives via email or text, and show a complete disregard for worker privacy. Delta also states on their site that the IAM’s deception begins at the Delta Workers Union nomenclature, which implies the IAM and Delta Workers Union are separate entities, despite being the same thing.
The website also provides links to 30 unlisted YouTube videos that all double down on what could be lost in the process and the IAM’s “inherently deceptive” nature. If the gaming poster that spread on Twitter is an attempt by Delta to snuff out a potential workers union, it wouldn’t be their first. According to a Business Insider post, Delta once de-unionized 17,000 workers when they merged with Northwest Airlines in 2008. Prior to the merger, Northwest was heavily unionized, while Delta was not.
“Delta has resorted to defaming and spewing lies and misrepresentations about the IAM. They also continually display anti-IAM propaganda in the workplace. These are all hallmark signs of how well the IAM campaigns are doing and how scared Delta is of their employees having a voice in their careers.
