THINK IT'S OVER?
Not a chance!


The vote for dignity and respect at Delta came closer than any other vote Delta has had for the ramp in its history. There were only some 500 votes out of about 14,000 that separated victory now or victory at the next step in the process.

Every single person working at Delta Air Lines, yes votes or no, witnessed the interference Delta perpetrated during the election process. It would be irresponsible not to challenge this unfair manipulation by Delta and we fully expect the IAM to protest this on our behalf.

The loss of pension, vacation, sick and injury coverage, justice on the job, superior overtime rules, and cheaper insurance with better coverage are some of the things lost with the last vote count. But, there will be another chance to revive these things.

A challenge brought to the National Mediation Board is sure to result in some form of relief for us as Delta ramp employees. We can save these things, get the higher pay Delta has dangled as a bribe and secure it all in a guaranteed contract.

Think we are giving up? Not a chance!
