Whoop-Whooop.........22 voters! Wonder how many are ex-NW?

Unions can't fix safety issues.

Sure they can. I've lived it first hand.
 
 

Kev... No excuses for safety violations. OSHA...Great suggestion and quicker too.

Again, not a bad idea- and one that has been done in a few places- but that's a reactive option, not a proactive one.

The idea is to fix the system so that phone never needs to be picked up...

Less than you think...

Kev
Be absolutely assured that we share the same goal that you and your peers are the safest, best treated airline employees who run the best operation.
We may have different strategies for getting there but if your peers in a majority believe a union is best and vote one or more in, you have my full support

 

[BABABOOY]

 if this is how the IAM negotiates for their f/a's.....yeah ..um.....NO.......
Here's Letter of Agreement 18 dated November 1, 2008 with negotiated concessions from IAM's largest group of represented FAs. These concessions continue and there has been no new contract since 2010.
I'd take Delta's track record any day over false promises and the hopeless negotiating skills of the machinists. 

 

[Kev3188]

Are these items that DL F/A's negotiated on behalf of their workgroup?

Have you already decided that your own elected peers would be "hopeless?"

Dozens of IAM Delta activists and IAM representatives, including Flight Attendants on the staff off the IAM's Strategic Resources and Education Department, met this week in Atlanta, GA for a series of strategy meetings and a visibility event at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
 
“I’d like to thank all the activists who came from all over the country to meet here in Atlanta,” said IAM Delta Flight Attendant  Mat Trent. “We had very productive meetings and set forth a strategic plan to achieve our goal of filing for and ultimately winning an election for IAM representation.”
 
Dozens of activists hand-billed at the airport after the meetings, covering every door at the terminal and down in the  crew lounges. They were very well received by Delta Flight Attendants who signed election authorization cards and asked how they could help the campaign.
 
“Delta Flight Attendants are ready for union representation,” said IAM Delta Flight Attendant Adam Dennisoff. “What a great week. We are energized to make history.”

 

 

 
The IAM Delta campaign stormed Atlanta this week, holding strategy meetings and conducting visibility events at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

A viable safety committee can't happen soon enough.

Sounds to me like some peeps need a babysitter to show them the correct way to fasten a seat belt!

 

[Kev3188]

It's really too bad that you're more interested in flamebait than helping your dept. 120 coworkers have a safer work environment.

 

[southwind]

So tell me Kev, if a ramp employee, is cited for not wearing a seat belt, or not wearing the correct shoes for the job during an audit, who's fault is it?

If someone doesn't have the proper equipment to perform their duties, whose fault is it?

If someone doesn't have the proper equipment to perform their duties, whose fault is it?

So... DL isn't providing seatbelts, and now it's not the employee's responsibilities to buy their own footware?

If employees won't take personal responsibility for their own safety, having a union or not having a union doesn't really matter.

 

[Kev3188]

It's not an issue of personal responsibility; it's about expecting the same accountability from the company that they expect from us.
