It should be illegal to put up stuff like this.
Yeah, it should not in the “it would be nice” sense, but in the “it’s mental that it isn’t” sense.
That’s like one month of US health insurance next year. Way more than worth it over being at the whims of some fuckhead corporation

Bullseye!
I guess Delta thinks their employees are complete fucking morons.
Well, most of them are Americans…

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?
Exactly!
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.
It cost them 700, not you. You will gain from an Union
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

Your choice of articles makes me think you pronounce union like onion
Dystopic shit.
Utterly hellish. In the UK, which is very far from being a Utopia, this would be almost unthinkable. Real Black Mirror stuff. Sure, the companies may not want you to join the union, but to actively advertise against it is breathtakingly shitty.
Classic misdirection: compare dues to a toy instead of the extra pay, healthcare, and protections.
This is why corporate America wants our population uneducated and tuned out and hooked on AI slop and distractions.

Explain how.
Wages can be exchanged for goods and services.
Unions can be exchanged for goods and services.
Onions can be exchanged for bideo bames 👽
It’s a complicated concept but higher wages means you make more money.
Many years ago I had to explain to a coworker how progressive taxation works. He was like “that’s a great idea! We should do that! It’s stupid that now your pay goes up but you take home less because you get taxed more”
I had to tell him, yes it is a good idea. It’s how it works now. You don’t get more pay and suddenly your whole income is taxed more.
He’d had no idea
I’ve literally heard coworkers mention the whole “I actually don’t want a raise because my taxes would go up and I’d make less” bullshit before. I do what I can to redirect them when I hear it, but some people are extremely dug into their worldview and don’t want to be helped. Like acknowledging a progressive tax rate would require acknowledging that their entire concept of income and taxation is built on a lie.
I had an outright argument with one of my own coworkers about this very subject less than six months ago. Even with all of the insane bullshit going on outside today people still just refuse to look up and read any sort of information for themselves.
Higher whatsit? Huh? What are your taking about? These words don’t normally go together I don’t understand.
No they don’t.

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.
Thats not how tax deductions work.
That just means you’re not paying taxes on the income. It’s not like you get the entire $700 back in taxes, because your tax rate probably isn’t 100%. If you pay 30% in taxes, (no clue what you actually pay), writing off the $700 would simply mean you pay $210 less on your taxes.
Union dues aren’t an income.
You are allowed to deduct the money you spent on union dues from your income, thereby lowering your taxable income. So on that portion of income that you deducted, you don’t pay taxes. That’s how all deductions work.
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.
Union fees are also 100% tax deductible in Australia, so it’s all a win-win.
