TV news that I saw didn't mention DL, so I assume that this cleaning company takes caare of most of the planes at MSP, not just DL.
News last week had a story about the airport commission considering a huge wage increase for wheelchair pushers and similar airport workers. There apparently have been some minor demonstrations about the issue.

Frankly, I'm already surprised they can find people to take those jobs who can also pass background checks.
You get what you pay for.

Delta planes are often dirty, including in D1. They need to invest more seriously in this.
I mean really---do you know anyone that pays 8 or 10 dollars an hour for someone to clean their home? We (gladly) pay much more than this. In return we get good service, and also are able to trust people with property that we place a high value on. Just saying. . .

Delta plays musical chairs with vendors all the time.
having said that, as people have said in this thread, its not like these vendors do that great of a job. It doesn't require advanced skill but you are still generally going to get crap work when you treat people like crap.
It wouldn't matter if they are or aren't. They aren't Delta employees, they are contractors. Delta will just dump the contract and pick another vendor.

Hah! US Air has much dirtier airplanes, and they love to tweet about them.
