Union seeks to delay labor vote among Delta, NWA employees

Just another example of unions doing what is best for them and worst for their members and society. And union bosses wonder why people despise unions.

George, Unions will do what is best for their membership. You just dont like unions. Too bad. Unions are on the move in the south. Unions are getting a strong hold in America once again. Go you Delta workers. Vote UNION YES!!!

No Bill, it's another example that when the Union and Democrats who don't get what they want, they change the rules... Period. Don't worry George, the Delta employees still will not unionize, even with the convoluted “new” rules.

Our country is in a struggle for economic recovery. These moves by the Delta employees and the union they are trying to form is just their part of this struggle. Unions and 'union bosses'? No, this is about fairness, a voice in the workplace and a better chance of sharing in the economic recovery that we all hope will come.

600 workers at SLC with a good union contract? They will make their money here and spend it here. I can't imagine something better for our community. We should all support this effort.

Regardless which way it goes they need to get the vote done and over with as soon as possible. This stalemate situation isn't going to help anyone in the long run.

A union vote cannot take place until the airline is operating as a single carrier. Delta management would like you to believe that this is true because they have painted some planes and changed some signs. The fact is that they are still using different computer systems and operation under General Operating Manuals. Therefore until Delta management gets their act together and the ground employees are operating as one company, legally there cannot be a union election.
