IAM Withdraws NMB Election Application

[WorldTraveler]

The NMB would have to determine there were sufficient cards; if the IAM was confident they had them, they could have continued with the election regardless of the presence of fraudulent cards.

There simply is not legal evidence of a sufficient number of DL employees who want to buy union services which don't deliver.

Keep forgetting the point that DL anti-union FAs admitted to conducting fraud, yet DL hasnt done anything to them.
 
And all the evidence has been sent to the DOJ, screenshots, signatures, cards, IP addresses.

 

[WorldTraveler]

and just like a Pharisee, you stand around ready to throw the stones.

If the evidence says that someone tampered with the process, I am pretty confident the DOJ will act and I am very content at leaving the process with the DOJ.

given that they are investigating, what DL does is inconsequential although DL very well might choose to act on the DOJ's findings.

In the meantime, you better make darn sure the IAM and its supporters have the cleanest noses in the universe.

Yep, and anytime they wanna get on it, would be great. The company won't do anymore than the absolute minimum legally required by the DOJ and/or NMB.

...And really, why would they? They've already got what they wanted.

 

[WorldTraveler]

the minimum required is called the minimum wage and the minimum legally required.

You and the vast majority of other DL employees are paid far above the minimum wage.

Even where legal requirements exist, such as crew rest seats, DL pilots are given crew rest that MEETS those requirements while DL FAs have crew rest facilities that vastly exceeds what other airlines provide including unionized AA and FA but also in some cases exceeds what DL pilots get. Every DL widebody int'l aircraft has lie flat FA crew rest off of the main passenger deck. AA and UA can't say that.

The reason why DL employees vote NO SALE for union representation is because they get far above the minimum that unions have set as the bar at other airlines.

Gee, look at what is arriving at IAM HDQ!
 

 
Delta Flight Attendants haven't skipped a beat in signing our new, individualized A-cards with today being the largest delivery thus far to IAM Headquarters.

A-cards are coming in faster than they can be recorded. Reports are that several thousand have been received at IAM Headquarters in Washington DC and our demand to gain the right to vote is growing and strong.

To gain the vote we deserve, at least 50 percent of all Delta Flight Attendants must sign their new, individualized A-cards. Don't wait. Sign, date and return your A-card today so we can have the right to vote.

Remember, signing an A-card only means that we want the right to vote. It's not a vote for or against unionization.

If you haven't received your new A-card in the mail, you can request it here: http://www.iamdelta.net/acard/

Gee-Willikers! Maybe the IAM won't screw it up again!

 

[WorldTraveler]

the IAM needs over 10K cards. it was a given that a certain number of people would send in a card regardless.

If there were 10K valid cards, the IAM wouldn't have pulled the application.

it's basic math.

 

[700UW]

And tell us why the NMB told the IAM about fraudulent cards and called in the DOJ?

Why are the anti-union DL FAs who admitted fraudulent behavior haven't been disciplined for their actions?

 

[WorldTraveler]

because the representation application came from the IAM? that was REALLY tough.

You seem thrilled to death to leave it to the DOJ and NMB but you can't let the same process play out with regard to finding out what went wrong.

Doesn't sound to me that you have a lot of confidence that they will do what they are supposed to do with the investigation.

 

[robbedagain]

some of those anti union peeps are also the ones who cries to mgmt.   or is part of mgmt.

Look here DOg looking for a biscuit from his cheerleaders.

Where did I say the EIG will sAve anyone?
The EIG is one of the many tools that delta F/A's have at their disposal.
So far the MAJORITy of DELTA F/a's think it's a better alternative to the IAM.
Concern yourself with your own workgroup and I'll Do the same with mine.

Typical from your type. 
 
Personal attack then shut up and only talk about yourself. Very typical.

700--
Who knows for sure what DL employees truly want- they had their legal right to vote stolen from them.
Like the RoTR says, "speed wins." Let's have the NMB call for a vote right now and let the chips fall where they may.

Please! Do tell, who stole it from them? The NMB?

 

[southwind]

Yep, and anytime they wanna get on it, would be great. The company won't do anymore than the absolute minimum legally required by the DOJ and/or NMB.

Please name one company that would do more than the minimum to have their company infiltrated by a union!

And tell us why the NMB told the IAM about fraudulent cards and called in the DOJ?
Why are the anti-union DL FAs who admitted fraudulent behavior haven't been disciplined for their actions?

So, you know for a fact, even before the DOJ knows, that union peeps had nothing to do with fradulant cards,, Sherlock?

 

[Kev3188]

Please! Do tell, who stole it from them? The NMB?

 
The people (or parties) that acted intentionally to derail the election process, of course.
