Rashida Tlaib: “Delta workers deserve the right to organize without intimidation from Delta executives. We know that when workers come…”

“Delta workers deserve the right to organize without intimidation from Delta executives. We know that when workers come together in solidarity, they create a strong, collective voice for safer work environments. We must empower all the workers to speak out against injustice in their workplace, not silence them. Recently, the Labor Caucus met with Delta flight attendants that are organizing with Delta AFA as well as Delta workers from Teamsters, machinists unions, to hear about their unionizing efforts. I heard many of their stories, Mr. Speaker, about being targeted for union organizing efforts after decades of loyalty to the company. This is unacceptable, and frankly, shameful. It is clear that Delta executives are engaging in bullying, union busting, retaliation, and even suspension of their employees for their union campaigns. As a proud daughter of the UAW, I know the power of a union, and I will continue to fight for every worker to have the right to organize unions and collectively bargain for better working conditions and higher and fair pay without fear of being targeted or fired. Mr. Speaker, I call on my colleagues to stand with the workers and hold Delta executives accountable for their antiunion tactics. Honoring the Life of Faye Awada”
