| First IAM Election at Delta Air Lines Underway
February 4, 2010- The National Mediation Board (NMB) yesterday mailed
telephone and Internet voting instructions to nearly 100 Delta Air Lines
and Northwest Airlines flight simulator technicians, opening a three
week voting period in the first IAM election since Delta acquired
Northwest. Pre-merger Northwest Sim Techs are IAM members, while their
Delta counterparts are currently non-union. Voting will end at 2pm ET on
February 25, 2010.
"Voter participation is critical in this election," said General Vice
President Robert Roach, Jr. "NMB rules count any eligible voter who
chooses not to participate in the elections - for whatever reason - to
have voted against union representation."
