Representative Rashida Tlaib was detained with members of the labor union Unite Here Friday in a protest against Delta Airlines at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. 'We won't stop until we get #fairwages and #healthcare,' Tlaib tweeted.
Michigan Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib was detained by police as she participated in a demonstration at Detroit Metropolitan Airport Friday. Tlaib joined with airport catering employees in their protest for higher wages and a better health care program.
"This afternoon, members of UniteHere! gathered at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport," read a statement from an airport spokesperson."The union had a permit to demonstrate. Nine of the participants sat in the roadway on the McNamara Terminal Departures Level." Unite Here, a nationwide labor union for service and hospitality workers, organized the protest on the same day that Delta Airlines gave a total of $1.6 billion in profit-sharing bonuses to some of its employees.
Protests organized by Unite Here also took place in five other states across the U.S. including New York, Pennsylvania, California, Washington and North Carolina.
