Rashida Tlaib detained during airline workers’ protest at Detroit Airport

Rep. Rashida Tlaib was briefly detained by police Friday during a protest with airline workers at Detroit Metro Airport. The congresswoman was on hand to demand better pay and health care for the employees.

“We won’t stop until we get #fairwages & #healthcare. These courageous people got arrested tonight at DTW b/c they believe workers deserve human dignity,” the Michigan Democrat said in a tweeted statement, sharing a smiling photo of herself with protesters. “Shame on you @Delta for leaving workers behind and letting them live in poverty. @unitehere

“These workers are suffering and living under unimaginable conditions all because Delta wants to make more profits on the backs of the poor,” she added.

Tlaib herself was not processed as an arrest with the other protesters, according to a protester on hand and was swiftly released.
