Delta Air Lines, American Airlines and United Airlines say they have
suspended workers for social media posts about last week’s .
“We were made aware of Delta employees whose social media content,
related to the recent murder of activist Charlie Kirk, went well beyond
healthy, respectful debate,” Delta CEO Ed Bastian said in an internal
memo shared with CNN.
“These social posts stand in stark contrast to our values and our
social media policy, and these employees have been suspended pending an
investigation,” Bastian said in the memo.
In a statement, American Airlines says some employees who posted to
“promote such violence on social media were immediately removed from
service.”
The moves are among the latest corporate blowback on workers following
pressure from the Trump administration to fire those who “were caught
celebrating the assassination.”
“This behavior is disgusting and they should be fired,”
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy posted on X Saturday. “Any
company responsible for the safety of the traveling public cannot
tolerate that behavior.”
United Airlines also sent a memo to pilots reminding them of the
company’s social media policy.
Late Sunday, the airline confirmed to CNN that it has suspended workers
over the last few days.
In a statement, United Airlines said, “We’ve been clear with our
customers and employees that there’s zero tolerance for politically
motivated violence or any attempt to justify it.”
