U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., was briefly detained by police Friday when she joined airline catering employees in a protest at Detroit Metro Airport, according to reports.
Photos posted on social media showed Tlaib, 43, sitting in the road outside the airport’s Delta terminal, along with eight other protesters - while a larger group of protesters demonstrated on the sidewalk nearby.

The cops don’t even want her.
I read where the caters make about 15.00 an hour and to have health insurance Delta would take out 100.00 a week from their paychecks so many have opted not to have the health insurance in order to have more money. I thought folks were required tot have Obamacare and they needed to purchase it on the marketplace if not available via employer and I thought it was just so affordable according to Obama folks.
Delta by the way handed out 1.3 billion in profit sharing checks to their employees on Friday.
Being retired and a veteran, I never paid any mind to that O’care stuff, since I have the VA.
I guess that 15/hr just won’t stretch well enough to kids who did not learn about handling money, from home or school.
