CEO of Delta Air Lines, Ed Bastian, has penned an open letter to business, government, and community leaders explaining the importance of financial well-being and the steps the company takes to financially support its employees. Two days earlier, members of the House had attempted to persuade him to stay neutral amid ongoing union talks at the airline.
Last November, a national scale effort was undertaken by three unions, the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA), the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, to unionize over 50,000 of Delta’s roughly 95,000 workers.
