Delta Hits Turbulence With CWA Organizing Video
Monday, August 30, 2010(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA has
produced a great new organizing video – The New Delta
Family – focusing on flight attendants' “frustration over how
their airline has changed for the worse with a revolving door of changing
management and executives,” reports the CWA
District 2 website. “Flight attendants at Northwest, which merged with
Delta, don't want to lose the bargaining rights they've had for 60 years.
They're working with Delta flight attendants to make sure that all flight
attendants get the respect and protections of a union contract.” The video
compiles comments from Delta flight attendants with up to 40 years of service
describing how they now have a chance to restore a lost sense of family by
voting for the union. The organizing campaign affects 21,000 flight attendants
at the merged airline country-wide, including about 350 attendants in the
Washington region. Click
