Delta draws fire from Sanders, Warren on union complaint

The machinists union and a group of US senators including Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are accusing Delta Air Lines of foul play in the struggle over whether 40,000 of its employees will unionise. The International Association of Machinists, filed a complaint Wednesday with the National Mediation Board accusing the company of “systematic, widespread and egregious forms of interference with employee choice” on unionisation. “Delta’s unlawful campaign has included disciplining and firing union activists, destroying union campaign materials, changing company policies to further frustrate unionisation, and cornering employees in one-on-one meetings to interrogate them and attempt to influence their actions,” the unions’ attorneys allege in their filing. Delta called the complaints ``completely baseless.'' <br/>
