Some Delta flight attendants could unionize. This comes as the airline considers merging with Northwest Airlines or United Airlines.
A similar effort to unionize in 2002 failed.
According to an international union of flight attendants, Delta’s workers will begin filing cards Thursday to request an election that will decide if, collectively, they want union representation. If least 35 percent of Delta’s twelve thousand active flight attendants file cards, they will then vote to determine if they’ll be part of union.
Delta’s pilots are currently the only major work group unionized at the company.
