I’ve flown with Delta for 25 years.

When the Northwest Flight Attendants joined our ranks, I was impressed by the culture they brought, and the protections the union contract gave them. When we had a chance to vote for a union in 2010, I voted yes.

Delta management never sees your card and will never know your card status.

The law that protects your right to organize and protects you from management retaliation is called the Railway Labor Act (RLA). It's your right to choose legal representation with AFA.

Management can’t stop blaming us and our “unscheduled absences” for their own poor schedule and operational planning.

Now they’re sending implicit threats about trying to dissuade us from legitimate use of FMLA in a recent email. In their words:

The uniforms Delta is forcing us to wear contain toxic chemicals. In some cases, pieces have nearly ten times the limit set by clothing companies like H&M.

Labor Day weekend is a time to celebrate the American worker’s accomplishments of the past, but also an opportunity to recommit ourselves to improving our own future.

I never realized how important my union was until I lost it.

I started my career at Northwest in 2007, and I flew under a contract and AFA protection until we lost our union in November of 2010.

At the time, Delta told us, “Give it a year, and you won’t want your union back.”
