The Delta Anti-Union Flyer meme originated from a real-life propaganda poster released by Delta Air Lines in May 2019. The flyer suggested that instead of paying roughly $700 in annual union dues to the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), employees should spend that money on a 'new video game system.' The internet immediately seized on the tone-deaf nature of the advertisement, creating parodies where the $700 is spent on increasingly absurd items rather than gaming consoles. It has since become a staple for critiquing corporate 'union-busting' efforts and highlighting the perceived disconnect between executive leadership and the labor force.
