LOVED this quote:
“I am shocked that this country’s
cancerous attack on bargaining rights took away my voice at work today, and
obliterated the hard work of women and men who came before me to build a contract and a career. In the face of workplace intimidation nearly ten thousand of us stood up and by the slightest margin our rights were stripped away. I can’t believe the agency that is charged with overseeing bargaining rights turned its back on me and my coworkers.” stated Delta Flight Attendant Belea Bower.
Interesting line by someone losing $34k/year as a result of the changes:
