Haha. Valid point. I was trying to be funny but you’re right. Back to the politics thread.

nice story, however current fedex class fills are from people interviewed last year.

In fairness, I thought it was at least a little funny.

Theres a seemingly serious post on SkyNet asking if we can wear Human Trafficking pins to support that cause. So far, no replies.

As this applies to Delta and it’s on a Delta page, I feel this thread works.

Human Trafficking isn’t politics.

So naive of me to think the same of protecting the rights of minorities. I stand corrected.

Should ask EB if the company is still giving out Delta People Care lanyards. Might be a collector's item soon.

It kind of seems like you’re missing the point here.

Theres the rub. The BLM organization is very political. Having a pin seemingly in support of it will be viewed as political.

Protecting the rights of minorities is not political, it’s an established right.
