Machinists Help Delta Air Lines’ Workers Unionize
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers
(IAM) have unveiled a nationwide campaign to help organize more than
6,000 Ramp Service workers at Delta Air Lines.
“Delta’s ramp workers are turning to the Machinists for our hard won
experience at other airlines in crisis,” said Robert Roach, Jr., IAM
General Vice President of Transportation. “Our record of protecting
pensions during the industry’s latest assault on its employees and
the fact that the IAM is an established presence at virtually every
commercial airport in the United States was not lost on Delta’s
workforce.”
“IAM members at United Airlines, US Airways, Northwest Airlines and
Aloha Airlines are the only employees at those carriers to
successfully negotiate new defined benefit pension plans in the face
of bankruptcy-related restructuring,” said Randy Canale, president
of IAM District 141. “The IAM has the unique resources and industry
experience to guarantee Delta’s Ramp workers a voice in these
turbulent times.”
In addition to concerns over mergers, pensions, outsourcing and
bankruptcy-related restructuring, Delta’s unrepresented employees
have endured unilateral pay cuts, benefit reductions, a frozen
pension plan and discipline without the benefit of due process.
“This airline has a history of threatening employees who even
whisper the idea of a union, but Delta’s Ramp workers are ready to
fight back,” said Roach. “The Machinists Union is prepared to assist
the carrier’s other workers seeking the benefits of IAM membership
as well.”
The Machinists Union is the largest airline union in North America,
representing more than 100,000 active Ramp workers, Flight
Attendants, Mechanics, Customer Service Agents, Reservation Agents
and other airport employees.
