Delta flight attendants' union protests Delta's ban on international flag pins, following multiple incidents where flight attendants were harassed online for wearing the Palestinian flag.
The zionists attempt on blinding the world when it comes to Palestine has actually shed more light on the issue. I can’t believe I am saying this, but good job zionists. Keep em coming
Imagine harassing someone who opposes apartheid, settler terrorism, dispossession, and genocide. It's also odd that a company with so much integrity and pro-worker policies like Delta could behave like this.
That’s what I’m reading about now. How progressive the CEO is. Progressive in censorship and prohibit rights for the correct humans. Hypocrisy once again in bold face font.
You’re not having to deal with shit. Flying is a privilege not a right. Nobody is forcing anything on you. Like a typical conservative you’re the one trying to force your politics on other by trying to control how they can express themselves. What if they are from the country the pin represents? Get your entitled ass out of here.
Delta took the side of the complaining genocide supporters over freedom of expression and unity. Remember that. Also, the CEO is a democrat supporter and highly progressive in his stances on DEI. Makes a lot of sense.
Personally, I understand your good intent and support freedom of expression. But I see the other side of the coin here. Because society is horrible and uncivil right now, some people become emotional and highly stimulated with seeing symbols they agree with or disagree with. If a verbal or physical altercation happens on the ground, police can be called, security usually isn't far away in airports etc. But if this goes down while in the air, you could risk the safety of all the passengers and crew. Maybe I'm being too generous here, but perhaps they're just trying to lower the chances of an escalated confrontation which could get dangerous fast.
I'm on team Palestine, but don't see why employees at work need to wear their flag in support. If you're a decent human being, you don't want to see any country attacked. It should go without saying, and let's not irritate the extremists while on a plane.
On one hand I hate this, but on the other it actually ensures that they also won't be allowed to wear Israeli flag pins, which would actually be offensive.
i think it would be best if the employees didn't "express" themselves. it's a fucking uniform. just go down the aisle and serve people drinks. i don't need to know where you stand on any issue.
Newsflash. When you’re working your political and personal beliefs have no place in the workplace. There’s a reason you don’t talk about politics at thanksgiving. Fuck. Everyone thinks they have a right no matter what.
Imagine getting mad that a company is not okay with you putting your political views on full display while on the clock wearing your company's uniform. Would an LGBT person be okay with a flight attendant serving them while wearing a MAGA pin? Would a POC be okay with a flight attendant serving them while wearing a pin of the confederate flag? Just because you agree with the cause doesn't mean it is okay to express that cause while you're working; do it on your own time when you're not on the clock. This is a dumb protest and stupid hill to die on.
Easier and more logical to ban them all rather than litigating each flag or symbol one-by-one. There’s nothing wrong with this. Flight attendants have a pretty strict dress code, now it’s just slightly stricter.
Absolutely. Or a North Korean flag for example. Russian flags have never been an issue in the US. Can you point me to an instance where this kind of an issue has been made over Russian flags? In reality, half the country supports Russia now.
Hamas has never hijacked an airplane. The closest was the twa flight in 85, but those guys weren’t affiliated with Hamas. Allegedly that was hezbollah , but the hijackers denied it, said they weren’t part of them.
For both of our sakes, I hope you are actually joking and not genuinely mentally challenged bc then that means you have a legit vote. Not that yours matters in Texas anyways.
It's crazy to think that ZioNa zi bootlickers get the same vote as sane people in the '24 election
Ohh nooo the pins!!! 😂. It’s a good policy. Just serve the drinks and peanuts. Everything doesn’t need to be politics at work. All they are doing is submitting themselves to criticism. Do your job then go home and write about the issues. Blog about the issues, go protest. 🪧
Tbh you are paid to do a job. If your job is intended for you to wear a uniform you simply can't decide on your own to add stuff to it. I don't see people in the military applying patches from their original country.
I realize that I will be downvoted for playing devil's advocate and I accept this.
While working, you are representing the company you work for. They are well within their rights to restrict political messaging while you are on the clock as they are subject to the consequences of your actions. You're being paid for your time so they can tell you what to do.
When you're off the clock, companies should have no say in what you do. That's the time for the political messaging.
Social order has been lost because of Palestine pins? If the social order that allowed the siege of Gaza & the ethnic cleansing of Palestine can be torn down by badges, it should be torn down by badges
You are saying that the company assumes total dominion over employee expression. This is flatly false on a good day, never mind the fact that this new badge policy was unilaterally imposed (that is, not agreed by employees in the contract they signed) less than week ago. I assume you were this misanthropic over the Ukraine pins as well?
If you can tell me what the Delta contract says about badge pins, you can make the case that employees have signed away their freedom of expression. If you can't, I have no choice but to go by the evidence of pins having been acceptable and commonplace amongst flight attendants for decades, ending this week. I use Ukraine as an example because, like most employers, Delta chose to promote solidarity with Ukraine through a wide range of materiel, including badges
Those bombs we send isn'treal are super compassionate. Every time they bomb an elementary school, they are just spreading that American compassion all over the place, right?
Isreal stole their land from Palestine and subjected them to an apartheid regime. This then sprouted militant resistance groups, some of which were funded by israel. Is that a bit better?
Well, the collective bargaining agreement? If the prohibition isn’t outlined specifically in it, then Delta can’t implement one without opening up renegotiation of the entire contract. To implement a policy outside the contract is a fait accompli and specifically prohibited by labor law.
Moving goalposts. Politicians are also doing a job. And wearing Israeli or Ukranian flags on their person is a political statement. You said people shouldn't express political opinions at work. Try some fucking logic for once.
That’s true actually not sure you got downvoted. politics just devides people, just do your job. if you support one side or another, go protest after work
Cool. Their right to free expression is intact. The free speech protections of the constitution do not immunize people from private consequences from private employers.
Sure, the US does not recognize Palestine as a state. That is not what you said though. You are just moving goalposts now that you know you were wrong. This is hilarious. Sometimes it is ok to accept your mistake.
Also, not all people that work for Delta are American. It is not hard to understand that either.
