Delta flight attendants to vote on unionization

Flight attendants at Delta Air Lines will vote on union representation, starting at the end of this month.

Former Northwest Airlines flight attendants at Delta are represented by a union. But historically, Delta's flight attendants have not been unionized. The upcoming vote will decide if all flight attendants at the airline will be represented by a union, or not.

The vote begins September 29 and concludes November 3. Delta has about 20,000 flight attendants. About 7,000 of them formerly flew for Northwest. Delta acquired Northwest in 2008.
