This crisis of poverty has been building for over a decade. Now, catering workers are calling on @Delta to take responsibility & show leadership by rewarding service & loyalty. Delta must ensure that #1Job is enough to live with dignity for ALL airline workers! pic.twitter.com/9mPkpiIyHN

It's time for @Delta to make sure that the airline catering workers who prepare its in-flight food and beverage have good jobs and affordable health care.
A freer, more just world is coming.#1job #unitehere #delta pic.twitter.com/GasQKxGQdI

Freezing temps can't stop us. @Delta needs to hear that one job should be enough for the airline catering workers who prepare its in-flight food and beverage… So, we're converging on Delta's McNamara Terminal at DTW for a direct action today.#1job #unitehere #ValentinesDay pic.twitter.com/j3qKypp3pV
