IAM files charges against Delta over anti-union campaign

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) has filed charges with the US National Mediation Board against Delta Air Lines, alleging the carrier’s anti-union activities violate Delta employees’ right to unionise “free from interference, influence or coercion exercised by the carrier.” “The IAM has provided the NMB with evidence showing Delta has run an unlawful, systematic anti-union campaign that includes intimidation, discipline and terminations of union activists,” IAM general-VP Sito Pantoja said. “Last week, the public was able to see what many behind the walls of Delta have always known; that Delta will go to great lengths to suppress their employees’ collective voices.” Delta says that IAM’s interference claims are “completely baseless”. <br/>
