Delta flight attendants wrapping important vote

Month-long voting ends tomorrow for Delta flight attendants for the issue on the table on whether to unionize. It’s a vote being closely watched by the entire airline industry. Union organizers have concern about the possibility of outsourcing flight attendant work to foreign national flight attendants. Atlanta-based Delta is in the process of completing a merger with Northwest Airlines.

Delta recommends 'no' for flight attendant unionization

Delta Air Lines has a message for its flight attendants, telling them they’d be better off if they did not unionize. In a month, the group will begin voting on whether to become the second major work group with the Atlanta-based carrier to be represented by a union. If a majority vote is achieved to approve a union, Delta’s 12-thousand active flight attendants would be represented by the Association of Flight Attendants. A similar effort to unionize was rejected in voting results from February 2002.
