ATLANTA – U.S. Rep. Sanford Bishop, D-Ga., wrote a letter to Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian calling on Delta Air Lines to uphold its reputation for excellence and fairness by respecting the rights of its employees to decide on unionization without interference.
Upwards of 55,000 Delta employees are currently engaged in a campaign to join unions. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers is currently organizing Delta ramp, cargo, and tower workers. The Association of Flight Attendants is signing up flight attendants, and the Teamsters are supporting technicians and related crafts.
