BE PREPARED: FOR WHAT DELTA WILL TELL YOU ABOUT UNIONS

Delta Air Lines has a long and proud history...of preventing its employees from having a meaningful voice in the workplace. Delta will spend millions of dollars on outside consultants to coach them on how to skirt the law and scare you into inaction when it comes to voting for a better future. From time to time we will expose these anti-employee techniques so you can be prepared with the truth.

What the company will tell you:

The Union is a third party "outsider" that will interfere with our "Direct Relationship".

The truth:

The Union, the IAM, is made up of working men and women who come from workplaces just like yours. In the IAM Transportation Department, all of the representatives come from their respective workplaces and are elected to the positions they hold. These individuals have years of experience working at airlines, so they speak the airline language. They also have the benefit of a good IAM education so they can properly help you in your representation.

But most importantly, your representatives at Delta will be Delta employees. In the IAM, you elect all of your local representatives from among your peers in your workplace. You will vote on the representatives who will help bargain your contracts. You will be the ones who provide the proposals that will make up your contract. You will vote on the contact that meets your collective acceptance. These are all Delta employees taking care of Delta union-related business.

Delta will tell you that the manager's open door policy will close if you become Union. This just isn't true. With a Union or without, it is up to the manger to have his door open to you. The Union doesn't stand in the way of any relationship with management. Quite the opposite, the Union only serves to enhance that unique employee-employer relationship.

The truth is, your direct relationship with Delta will only be strengthened. It will be strenghtened with the power of a contract behind you. It wil be strenghtened by the power of your voice being collective with your coworkers. Your relationship with Delta will have real meaning, and a real future.

Watch for a well-crafted anti-employee messages to come your way...and remember the truth.
