Results are expected at 1 p.m. Central Time, the Association of Flight Attendants-Communications Workers of America said. The National Mediation Board, the federal agency enforcing labor law in the transportation industry, is administering the election.
For the nearly 14,000 Delta flight attendants, a victory will mean union representation for the first time, and Northwest’s 7,000 AFA-CWA flight attendants will keep the bargaining rights they’ve had for more than 50 years. The two airlines merged two years ago.
“In this election, every single vote counts,” the union said. “One vote could mean the difference between Delta unilaterally determining what we get, or us having the opportunity to sit down at the table and negotiate what\'s in our best interest.”
Airline workers for the first time have democratic voting procedures since the National Mediation Board implemented rules in June that follow the same standard as elections for public office in the United States.
Voting also is under way for some ground workers at Delta who are seeking representation by the International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers. Results will be announced later this month.
