Delta Air Lines is changing its employee uniform policy to ban non-U.S. country or nationality pins following the backlash over flight attendants wearing Palestinian flag pins called 'Hamas badges.'
Delta's shift in policy was meant to ensure a welcoming environment, reflecting their commitment to diversity and connection while addressing tensions around the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The airline's previous uniform policy allowed more flexibility with accessories, but a social media storm prompted the stricter rule to avoid controversies related to geopolitical conflicts.
Delta apologized for an employee's response condemning the flight attendants wearing Palestinian pins, denouncing it as 'anti-Palestinian racism,' and removed the employee from social media communications.
