In reply to the discussion: Georgia governor forced to cancel Hollywood trip to avoid protesters [View all]DemoTex
(25,396 posts)28. Delta Air Lines could punish Georgia much more than the film industry can.
With 33,000 employees statewide, Delta is Georgias No. 1 private employer, directly responsible for $43.5 billion in economic impact a year. (Delta website)
Delta acquired Northwest in 2008. Northwest's headquaters was Minneapolis-St. Paul.
If Delta cared for its employees - especially the women - it would pick up and move to Minnesota immediately.
But it won't happen. Delta is almost as atavistic as Georgia's GOP lege and governor.

Stop it! Vote the bastards out and rescind the law. It might take 4-6 year but it can be done.

A $9 BILLION loss to the state seems like a lot to lose. Maybe they didn't think this
