LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD...LET THE NMB HEAR FROM YOU.......

ANOTHER DELTA VOICE ADDS HIS CONCERNS

As a Delta Air Lines employee for more then twenty years I've seen many changes. I've seen changes for the good, for the bad, and changes made just for the sake of trying something different. With the Delta/Northwest merger looming on the horizon many more changes are in the future. How these changes are going to effect you are largely in your own hands. One of the most important questions you have to ask yourself is about 'Union Represention.' Ask yourself, "are you being fairly compensated?" "Are you happy with your sick leave policy? Does management hold YOUR best interest at heart?" "Will they next year?" "Or the year after?" "Does management consider you a asset or dispensable?" "Will your job be contracted out in the name of company savings?"



In the coming days the National Mediation Board (NMB) will be meeting, on their list of discussions topics will be a proposal to change the rules and the procedures in Airline mergers. The proposed change says that when “there is a certified representative on one of the affected carrier(s) but no certified representative on the other, the Board will exercise its discretion and extend the certification only where there is more than a substantial majority, as determined by the Board. Authorization cards may only be used to supplement the showing of interest necessary to trigger an election; they may not be used towards getting a certification extended.”



Let the NMB know the employees of the merged Delta/Northwest airline deserve the right to a fair vote, And that the "substantial" vote would only work in favor of the company and rob the employees of fair represention from the IAM.



I urge you to click on the link and let the NMB know that you stand for employee rights, and the right to be represented by the IAM.
