Senators urge Delta to 'remain neutral' in union elections

Senators urge Delta to 'remain neutral' in union elections
More than two dozen U.S. senators, all of whom have large numbers of union members in their states, are urging Delta and Northwest airlines to "remain neutral" in union elections. The senators sent a letter to the chief executives of the two carriers, which have announced plans to merge, urging them to "demonstrate a genuine commitment to cooperative labor relations." Specifically, the senators ask managements to stay clear of future union elections, including an upcoming vote by Delta flight attendants on whether to organize. Delta flight attendants begin voting for AFA-CWA representation Wednesday.
