The International Association of Machinists has an ongoing union organizing campaign for cargo and ramp workers at Delta Airlines. In response, Delta, which made five and a half billion dollars in profit last year, has produced some of the most cartoonish, misleading anti-union propaganda you may ever be lucky enough to see!


Delta’s stock has nearly tripled in the past five years, making its investors and executives very rich. Naturally, these executives and investors are only concerned about preserving the special corporate culture and helping the cargo and ramp workers and protecting them from being preyed upon by a union that might sneakily win them better pay and benefits. In addition to the very poorly acted anti-union video you see on top of this post, Delta has put up a website, DontRiskItDontSignIt.com (union cards, that is). Though I am sure Delta paid millions to some union-busting consultants for this site, it lacks a certain subtlety. For example:

They make the all time classic corporate threat



Their explanation of what labor unions do



The site prominently warns



It includes an ACTUAL cartoon of a “fat cat” union leader, counting money.




I love it!

If anyone is dumb enough to believe this they may not deserve the raise that a union would get them.
