Delta Hits Turbulence With CWA Organizing Video

(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 here to read the full story.
