LOS ANGELES: Delta Air Lines tried to convince employees their money is better spent on a new gaming console than union dues in a poster for its anti-union site that has been shared frequently via Twitter in the past few days but seemingly was first spotted and shared by Common Dreams’ Eoin Higgins.

“Union dues cost around US$700 (RM2,915) a year,” bold text on the poster proclaims. “A new videogame system with the latest hits sounds like fun. Put your money towards that instead of paying dues to the union.”
