THREE QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

If you are a Delta employee who will be eligible to participate in one of the upcoming union representation elections, there are some critical questions you should ask yourself.

Question No. 1: Why does Delta management try so hard to discourage
you from receiving our literature and signing an authorization card
requesting the NMB to hold an election?

Have you noticed that many coworkers won’t take our information or sign
an authorization card simply out of fear that Delta management will find
out? Employees see managers and performance leads bullying
coworkers when they find out that union literature or even simple
discussion exists in the work place. They will snatch information right out
of someone’s hand. They tell employees union discussion is not allowed
anyplace nor anytime on the Delta property, including lunch and break
time. This is a violation of federal law. They speak out of the other side
of their mouths, though, and tell you it is important that you make an
informed decision and union representation is ultimately your choice.
Additionally, the company posts daily, on their web site, every slanted
statement, erroneous fact and negative piece of propaganda about the
union. You can read that on company time and company property any
time you want, though.

Question No. 2: Why does Delta separate pre-merger Northwest and
Delta employees into separate break rooms where it isn’t necessary to
do so?

It appears that limiting contact limits the ability of employees from having
civil, healthy and intelligent dialogue about union representation.
Management fears that once you hear the truth about union
representation from coworkers who are actually represented by a union,
you just might want what that membership has to offer.

Question No. 3: What does Delta management fear most about a union
representation election?

The answer, in a word, is control. Winning a union representation
election is the first step towards a collective bargaining agreement where
you have a voice and a vote on wages, benefits and work rules. A union
and a contract bring fairness and dignity to the job. A union and a
contract prevent management from having total control in your future.
Remember, what happens at work doesn’t just impact the worker, it also
impacts the worker’s family.
