Flight attendants at Delta have been trying to organize for years, with no success, but there's a new unionization drive aiming to change that
Photo: Daniel Slim/AFP/Getty Images The Association of Flight-Attendants-CWA announced on Friday that it is “putting its full resources” behind a new organizing drive at Delta Airlines. In a press release, AFA-CWA’s international president, Sara Nelson, said that her union had heard from “thousands” of Delta flight attendants. “Today, we’re excited to launch that campaign with 25,000 Delta Flight Attendants to gain a voice, respect and fairness on the job,” she added.
Flight attendants at Delta have been trying to organize for years, with no success. AFA has lost three elections at the company, most recently in 2010, when attendants voted 9,544 to 9,216 to reject a union. At the time, the union complained of “unprecedented intimidation” from Delta.
AFA’s new drive is separate from a preexisting one organized by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. IAM has been organizing Delta flight attendants and ramp attendants since 2010, the year of AFA’s last loss, but has yet to hold an election. In a statement to the press, IAM criticized AFA’s organizing drive.
