      It’s a nice reminder that one is in a capitalist hellhole. Like taken from a dystopian game.

          I saw it firsthand. I think it’s an older campaign though, that was a few years ago.

        Is this dystopian game something I can afford with my savings from not paying union dues?

      I’ve seen several from this campaign and they’re so dumb I feel like someone was maliciously compliant in making these so that Delta’s opposition to the union would actually encourage more people to vote to join. Like, management came to someone in marketing, but that person actually wanted to support the union effort.

    Haha my Union Dues… 240/yr.

    Pay in the five years before the union…no increase. 20 years of union, pay up 100%.

    My union dues are about 800 a year, we’d be lucky to make only 10,000 less a year without the union, and have way less protections. Joining a union is one of the best investments you can make.

    Remember, if your company is telling you how great something is, it is great for them, not you.

      Right, if you ever see an poster or video anywhere, consider that the message was something someone felt was worth spending money on. And if it was a business, why would a business spend money unless it could somehow benefit its bottom line?

    Classic misdirection: compare dues to a toy instead of the extra pay, healthcare, and protections.

      No it’ll cost you, it comes out of your after tax wage. But it’s an investment into you and your colleagues futures for better wages, stronger protections and benefits.

        In my country you can get union dues back as a tax deduction.

        It comes out of their pocket because unions tend to negotiate for better pay

    Delta knows their audience. Many pilots lean Republican and see themselves as rugged individualists that have made their own path. Meanwhile, the only reason they’re flying in many cases are socially funded training programs. Many from the military.

    In Australia, Union fees are tax deductible.

    They don’t cost you anything in the end.

      I don’t know if tax deductible means the same thing in Australia, but they’re also deductible in Canada. That means that you don’t pay tax on the money you paid in dues, but you don’t get it back.
