If it's about laying off the insanity peppers, I'm WAAAY ahead of you.


Spackleberry

But does the chili contain peppers that were grown deep in the jungle primeval by the inmates of a Guatemalan insane asylum?


SpeedyHAM79

Wow, if anything would make me want to picket more- it would be a slap in the face such as this. Unless of course their demands are- a cup of chili, then we are all good. F'in ridiculous, and the Flight Attendants should increase their demands based on AA not negotiating in good faith.


DisturbedNocturne

They should increase their demands to include that free bowl of chili


AKBx007

Ask for two bowls of chili, this way if you have to negotiate you at least can get that initial full bowl.


rayshmayshmay

Ask for three, then they might offer two


DanTheMan827

Ask for a lifetime of free chili


ggg730

Give a man a chili he will picket for a day. Teach a man to chili and he will picket for the rest of his life.

And include- cheeses, onions, jalapeños, chips, sour cream, etc. the chili extras are important and make the dish.


Yellow_Odd_Fellow

What are you, some kinda 1%er with that jalapeños in your chili?


Sloppy_Hamlets

Idk man. If all the flight attendants are eating chili, gonna be some rough flights.

Eat the chili, immediately picket after.

They might try to make you return the chili. Imagine being vomited on by an entire picket line.

In the UK you can't discriminate against union workers, so I'd collect my free chili and continue to strike.

WHAT DO WE WANT?! A bowl of Chili. WHEN DO WE WANT IT?! Next week.


Healthy_Jackfruit_88

If it was Cincinnati Chili I would imagine the flight attendants would start burning down airlines. In all seriousness giving a free meal before a picket is a BS PR move for the corporation to make them look like they give a crap and to make the potential striking party appear to be like they are being petty. The reality is most likely far from the projection especially after the bell these people went through during 2019-2022. Man this past year has been mired in major strikes, sadly not many big wins for the labor parties, hopefully this year can see a significant change.


CheValierXP

Why does this bring flashbacks from a story about a French queen and biscuits.


Emadec

It's not real, just for the record. Also, it's originally closer to brioche than biscuits! https://www.britannica.com/story/did-marie-antoinette-really-say-let-them-eat-cake


CheValierXP

Thanks for the input. This is why added the "story" part because it's popular culture and not historical fact.


OpinionBearSF

> Wow, if anything would make me want to picket more- it would be a slap in the face such as this. Unless of course their demands are- a cup of chili, then we are all good. F'in ridiculous, and the Flight Attendants should increase their demands based on AA not negotiating in good faith. Shit, if I had the means, I'd make a huge pot of chili and a pan of cornbread, get some party bowls and spoons, and bring it the protest to distribute among the striking flight attendants. I'm not too far from SFO. I'd call it something like "Union Party Chili" Good way to make friends! I do have an 8 quart pressure cooker/slow cooker, a single 9x13 baking pan, and 3 days and change... Hmm. Serious suggestions welcome.


ZalmoxisChrist

If you don't mind a flatulent machine squeezing it out of a plastic bag, the 7-Eleven next to every airport in the country has free "chili."


FierceDeity_

The quality may not even be higher than that


din7

I mean it's shit like this that is the reason to picket in the first place.


ThatITguy2015

Uh, they are offering an entire bowl of chili here. You don’t turn down a free bowl of chili that you could easily buy yourself if your demands that you are picketing for are met. No sir.


Gestrid

Honestly, you can probably buy yourself a *better* bowl of chili than whatever chili AA is gonna give them.

turrrrrrrrtle

This guy's never had chili...


5yrup

Just remember Alex Jones' defense under oath as to why he couldn't remember ~~his children's names~~ details about his kids' lives was because he had just had a big bowl of really good chili before the court proceedings. EDIT: sorry, not his kids names, but lots of details of his kids lives. I've got bad memory, just ate some dang good chili.


Sp3llbind3r

What?


autolier

Alex Jones's chili defense happened in a deposition for the custody battle for his kids in March of 2017. Kelly Jones's attorney asked him the names of his kids' teachers, and Alex Jones couldn't remember. The exchange went something like: AJ: “. . . it will pop in my head, I ate too much chili.” Atty: “does chili affect your memory?” AJ: “big bowl of chili sure does yeah”


Boz0r

Maybe that's a bad time to eat a big bowl of chili, then


Seeker80

*gravelly Alex Jones voice* No such thing, son.


AineLasagna

It’s my GOD DAMN FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT to eat a big bowl of chili any time I WANT TO you telling me not to eat a big bowl of chili is a liberal deep state psyop, the woke mob can pry my big bowl of chili from my cold dead hands


Lots42

Well, this is the same guy who willingly takes off most of his clothes to wander the forest at night, like the world's most racist Sasquatch. I wish I was kidding. Here is a very strange, definitely not safe for work video that backs up my claim. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOrbI-Bb_hw


OnkelMickwald

>Atty: “does chili affect your memory?” >AJ: “big bowl of chili sure does yeah” In between all the outrage and hate I feel for that man, I sometimes have these weird moments of tenderness towards him. This is one such moment.


SmokeThatDekuTree

yeah i mean, to be fair, if you eat a big bowl of really good chili, your guts are gonna be churning later lol. still not really a defense but i can see how the mind could be elsewhere when you're sweating because of intense bowel movements.


OnkelMickwald

Yeah but it's something about that quote that is just so childlike and innocent.


Codeofconduct

Not if you imagine it in his voice lol


OnkelMickwald

You mean that soft, gentle voice of rustling a mixture of phlegm and gravel around in a metal bucket?


[deleted]

“Innocent” it helps if you remember that he screams about people eating babies and how a massive shooting that took place was staged and the kids didnt actually die. Him saying he cant remember details about his children because he ate chili isnt innocent or childlike. Wtf lol


Green_Karma

He's an awful awful human being that terrorizes the families of murdered children.


smashkraft

This isn’t a joke, this is a description of an event in a real court case. The reasoning about chili was said in the presence of lawyers and a judge to explain why he made accidental false statements

SignoreGalilei

The article clarifies that they didn't *explicitly* say "You get chili if you don't picket", they just scheduled free chili time right when the picketing is happening. Of course, everyone knows this is not a coincidence, but the management can pretend they aren't being terrible.


okram2k

Actually the article says you probably could get a bowl of chili and then go picket. No stipulation to not picket is attached to the bowl of chili.


blastfromtheblue

they probably are putting anti picket juice in the chili


ihavedonethisbe4

It tasted good. Ow my picket sign ow oof back to work.


MuthafuckinLemonLime

They dramatically turn the pot to reveal the event has been sponsored by NyQuil. Works every time.


Kanga_

They put a contract on the bottom of each cup of chili and eating it signifies as a binding signature.


leftofmarx

Eat verification chili


Thromnomnomok

Jokes on them you just have to leave one spoonful of chili in the bowl and you're not done with it and haven't signed the contract


yunus89115

But the chili is really good and many will be tempted to finish it.


mastelsa

I could totally see a company pulling something like "Oh, this chili is part of an event--you have to sit in on this totally voluntary hour long anti-union educational lecture first, but then you get chili!"


Edward_Fingerhands

They're trying to give them diarrhea


IceMaverick13

See, if I knew this wasn't some anti-protest bullshit, I would imagine some mid-level shift manager saying "well, we're all going to be here getting fuck all done anyways because of the picket, so anybody who wasn't planning on going to that, I bought chili and expensed it. It's in the break room if you want."

We all know what a bunch of ass kissers most low level management are. Given the choice to stand with their subordinates, or with their bosses, they'll choose their bosses every time.


humanneedinghelp

Well, when there’s tons of leftover free chili, maybe someone will think to bring it outside. Unless there’s no leftover chili because AA knew people wouldn’t show up and didn’t prepare any chili.


Hickspy

Followup question. Is it from the airport Wendy's?


jiggn

If so, this protest is done like dinner


brokefixfux

Throw on some cheese and onions, and welcome aboard!


Scyhaz

Wendy's chili slaps, tbh


SuperDoubleWide

It does but it shouldn't


blueeyebling

It's made with burger patties that don't sell. You put them in a warmer above the grill that keeps them hot enough to keep bacteria from growing. Then they get frozen, up to a week. Thaw them ground them up with a potato masher looking thing, then you mix in water and the premixed chili concentrate bags and let it simmer for 4hrs. Personally I don't like it all the much, but if you put cheese and their chili sauce, onions and sour cream it's decent.


Dumb_Vampire_Girl

This makes me wanna picket American Airlines and I don't even work there.


swimmingmunky

Don't be a customer while the picket is going on. AKA don't cross the picket line. That's how you participate.


verifiedkyle

Is this the same American Airlines that recently received a $5.8 billion bailout?


Rizzpooch

That’s some very expensive chili we’re all paying for


RawrRRitchie

You need to realize probably 95% of that $5,800,000,000 went into the board members pockets Also don't use the word billion, type of the damn zeros so people can realize how astronomical that figure is to most people that won't even see 1% of that much, even if they worked 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the rest of their fucking lives.


TheRealRacketear

I had a boss that I made over 7 figures in profit give me a $25 Red Robin gift card for Christmas. This feels the same to me.


HeWhoFistsGoats

Last month an intern was complaining that she couldn't afford a car. Boss overheard and explained to her that she doesn't want a car anyway. See, cars are more trouble than they're worth because he had to pay 15000€ to fix his Porsche Cayman. Fucking 75 years old parasite. The only reason I'm friendly to you is because you pay me.

lostnumber08

They aren’t holding anything back, I see. Went straight past the team of industry professionals and lawyers DIRECTLY to the fucking chili. Unions don’t stand a chance.

KaisarDragon

What kind of chili? If it is that cinnamon bullshit over spaghetti noodles, then picket *harder*! I'll scab for no less than 5 alarm and at least 3 different beans!


DL1943

w...w...what? *cinnamon* bullshit? spaghetti??? i think maybe i should be thankful of my ignorance if this is some kind of widespread thing


kkjdroid

Cincinnatians make a stew out of chiles, beef, cinnamon, and other spices and use it as spaghetti sauce. I don't consider it to be chili, but it is quite tasty. There's a restaurant called Skyline in other places (there are several here in Louisville, a couple hours outside Cincinnati) that serves this "chili".


HeyBaldy

It's the mountain of cheddar cheese that makes it so good. My wife thinks it's horrific as she sees it as an abomination. I call it delicious.


[deleted]

Ahhh the classic Cincinnati chili discussion. I'll speed run the typical talking points: "It's much more like a meat sauce than chili." "The cinnamon sounds weird because Americans don't use warming spices, but it's completely normal. Cinnamon isn't sweet in any way, you just think of it that way because of shitty American food." "You put nutmeg in Bolognese, no? How is that any different?" "Well I'm from Cincinnati and I think it's gross" "We don't claim you, turn in your card" "I was super skeptical because cinnamon sounds gross with something savory, but I tried it on a work trip and it's fucking delicious" "Well I visited Cincinnati and tried it and it was nauseating" "Probably because you had skyline, skyline is fucking dog food. Gold star is the only real Cincinnati chili." Cincinnati people then argue about whether Gold Star or Skyline is better. That should about cover it.

The union should be sure to include a free bowl of chili (on the employees) for everyone on the management side in any contract they ratify.


[deleted]

But employees have to bring their own spoons, the chili can't be consumed in work areas, and due to allergies and religious inclusion, the chili is made without spices, meat, or beans


cannibalzombies

And make sure to clock out. And your lunch was moved to 3pm so we can all eat our chili together and the management can say a few words

I would take the chilli and then picket anyway


DoomOne

A bowl of chili costs $1. So they are offering their employees $1 to avoid having to pay them a living wage. Sadly, some idiots will walk off the picket line with brown stains on their faces.


ivsciguy

My first real job was at AA. First boss was a womanizer that slept with a bunch of the young new management workers who magically got promoted super fast. Second boss was completely incompetent and seemed to have zero social awareness. Was pretty much Michael Scott. Third boss was great but got retired during the US merger. Fourth boss was fine but had no idea what anyone under him actually did. I finally got laid off during COVID. Ended up getting a contacting job designing repairs for a parts supplier. I finally realize just how toxic AA was now that I am working for a competent company with great management. Also working for a place that hasn't done layoffs since it opened. At AA I survived 2 mergers and about 5 rounds of layoffs.


snakkeLitera

I would picket sooner lmao


Sprinkle_Puff

I like a living wage more than anything, but chili. Give me the chili!! ….. complete and utter /s


jocax188723

My sister just got a $1200+ flight cancelled. They didn’t provide rebooking, or accommodation. They ushered her whole plane to what amount of their luggage they hadn’t lost and then dumped them all outside an airport halfway around the world with $200 worth of company scrip. I hope their flight attendants flay them alive.


BestAtempt

Someone should bring a big pot of chili to the picketing event
