Rep. Rashida Tlaib briefly detained during protest at Detroit Metro Airport
Congresswoman was released shortly afterward
ROMULUS, Mich. – Rep. Rashida Tlaib was briefly detained Friday by police during a protest at Detroit Metro Airport.
Tlaib joined other activists and blocked traffic outside the Delta Air Lines McNamara Terminal during a demonstration against low wages.
She later released a statement calling on Delta to raise wages for its catering workers.
Delta has not commented, but the company that employs union workers says it remains committed to negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement in good faith.
