Delta, Piedmont Elections Results in Next Week

Lots of election results next week.

Ballots will be counted on Nov. 3 in the election covering 21,000 flight attendants at Delta Air Lines, which merged with Northwest earlier this year. 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 next day, ballots will be counted in the election covering 3,000 passenger service ramp and gate agents at Piedmont.

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 U.S.
