These are real life choices that involve your future at Delta.

The message, tone and philosophies could not be in starker contrast to one another.

1. Delta Human Resources Manual first three lines reads as follows:
“This section of Delta’s Human Resources Practices Manual sets forth the terms and conditions of employment. Delta reserves the right to amend these terms and conditions of employment at any time for any reason. Just as all personnel have the right to resign their employment with Delta at any time and for any reason they choose, Delta may terminate the employment relationship with any employee at any time and for any reason.”
Versus …
2. The current IAM PMNW Clerical, Office, Fleet and Passenger Service Agreement (COFPS Contract) Article 1, page 1, states:
“The purpose of this agreement is, in the mutual interest of the company and of the employees, to provide for the operation of the services of the company under methods which will further to the fullest extent possible the safety of air transportation, the efficiency of operation and the continuity of employment under conditions of reasonable hours, proper compensation and reasonable working conditions.”

We believe these few sentences speak volumes. We believe the choice is obvious, also, as to which work environment and work philosophy you would want to be involved with.

You decide!

If you decided the second option is the answer, then you need to sign an election request card today. It provides you with the opportunity to petition the National Mediation Board to hold an election to decide union representation issues. Without an election, the first option is the best you can expect.
