Countdown To Representation
Two Days Until Fleet Service Vote!
Ready Reserve

Pro union workers are not against Ready Reserve workers. We are against a category of worker that receives no benefits and no seniority for the time they put in. Whether a Ready Reserve worker is someone waiting for a permanent position or a Teacher who wants a second job, they deserve seniority, sick pay, OJI pay, vacation accruals and a pension. Ready Reserve employees should have a defined path to get a full time or permanent position, instead they are sent home when their bid is over or they reach the cap number of hours allowed. A union victory with 30,000 IAM members at Delta will be the spring board for a rising industry standard. The future for Delta workers should include benefits for all workers, including Ready Reserve. Our belief is that there should be no difference between any Delta workers except for the number of hours worked. That’s a future worth fighting for!
