it apparently isn't just the TWU that fear mongers. It seems to be the norm for unions as a whole.

(Re)securing representation isn't something that just happens...
really? Every time I fly I see calm employees who do their jobs well and say they are happy with their current work environment and esp. the profit sharing they will receive.
with all due respect, you aren't seeing the same DL that I or the majority of DL's own employees see.... if what you see was reality, then we'd have no shortage of votes confirmed.
Sum total of votes scheduled ZERO.
Sum total of new unions appointed as DL employee representatives since the merger. ZERO
I can appreciate the difference of opinion you bring to the discussion. I really do.
but I can assure you that if things at DL were as dire as you paint them, then you should have no problem getting the unions you say DL employees want... and yet that just is not happening.
saying that WN employees are paid well because they are unionized but DL employees are well paid because the company is trying to keep the unions out makes absolutely no sense.
DL and WN employees make what they do because they are playing on the same side as their company who is doing very well.
unity works great at getting both sides what they want. unions in the US airline industry represent the historic contentious environment that DL employees want to stay far away from.
