WAKE UP!

Delta employees who have already lost their jobs <think dehubbing DFW> were, for the most part, not able to find jobs in the same industry, let alone pay bracket.

My ex-husband is working for less than half of what he made with Delta. He also had to join a union to get his new job and he hates being part of it.

He is one of the lucky ones, many of his friends are installing satellite TV antennas and such just to try and put food on the table.

In all the union rhetoric I've heard I've never heard what your Plan B is. You know, for how you are going to pay your bills if Delta goes under.
