Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian in a letter to members of Congress on Wednesday discussed steps the company has taken to help its employees, two days after more than 100 House members in a separate letter called on him to stay neutral in union talks at the company.

Bastian highlighted a $1.4 billion profit-sharing arrangement for front-line workers and an emergency savings program, in which participating employees “can earn $1,000 from Delta to fund a rainy day account.”

“At Delta, our No. 1 job is taking care of our people — our success flows from this simple concept. Sharing profits with our people, along with providing tools and education to help manage and grow their wealth, is part of our responsibility as a values-led organization,” Bastian said in the lett

Bingo! My first thought, too. He must be really worried about something. Is FJB ready to nationalize the airlines?

I once worked on a consulting project for Delta. It was by far the worst run company I ever had any dealings with.

I think the question is why are congress critters telling a CEO that he should not have a say in his employee labor negotiations.

“Well, the article says they wrote him first.”

One would only know that by reading the actual article which breaks Free Republic tradition! :-)

Most of these Companies are in suck up mode given their precarious state in the hands of these leftists and RINOs with occasional saving grace by a handful of conservatives.

Maybe he’s heading off President “Stop your price gouging”? You know, the well-meaning elderly gentleman with the poor memory who never even ran a lemonade stand.

Back in ‘82 (that's 19 82), the airline was losing money. The employees were concerned and also a bit embarrassed that were the only major carrier with out a recently introduced 767.

So they pitched in and bought one for the company they loved!

Boy, how times change!

Those who are kneejerk freemarketeers will say that a CEO's primary responsibility is to his company's shareholders.

Screw the customers and the employees.

ANY/EVERY CEO is “INVOLVED” in UNION talks.

CONGRESS is who should stay out of this.

BUT—SINCE BIDEN IN WEDDED TO THE IDEA THAT EVERY SINGLE JOB IN THE US SHOULD BE UNION-—I GUESS HE IS PUSHING CONGRESS TO BE INVOLVED

Too bad your No. 1 job isn’t getting people to their destinations safely and on time.

Why do they want the CEO to stay “neutral” in union negotiations? That’s part of his job duties and fiduciary responsibility to investors.

Delta employees should get a bonus for every flight that doesn’t suck.

Based on my past two years of flying experience…very few bonuses would be paid.
