Delta Flight Attendants Picket Posh Union Boss HQ for Freedom of Choice

For decades, Delta Air Lines flight attendants have repeatedly rebuked Association of Flight Attendants (AFA) union organizers' efforts to take monopoly bargaining control over their workplaces.

Despite a recent intense union organizing campaign, AFA union officials have lost yet another union organizing election, but true to form, AFA union bosses refuse to leave this independent-minded group of employees alone due to their blind lust for more forced union dues dollars.

So yesterday, more than thirty flight attendants from across the country met outside the AFA union headquarters on their day off to send them a message: "Leave us alone!"

From one participating flight attendant:

Flight attendants [from] more than seven bases spent three hours in the wind and bitter cold. The bundled-up group marched in front of the Communications Workers of America building, the posh home of AFA... Each flight attendant carried homemade signs with messages, ranging from “Respect Our Choice,” to “No Means No” and “No Union, No Dues, No Problem.”

Hats (and beanies) off to this courageous group of independent-minded employees as they take a stand for their workplace rights.

Read more about how fed-up Delta flight attendants are taking the fight to AFA union bosses in the July/August 2010 edition (pdf) of National Right to Work's newsletter, Foundation Action.

July/August Foundation Action Newsletter Is Now Available Online

Be among the first to read the July/August edition of the National Right to Work Foundation’s bimonthly newsletter.

In the latest issue of Foundation Action, you can read about some of the Foundation’s most recent cases defending the victims of compulsory unionism abuses – including our cover story about a Connecticut woman targeted by union militants with a harassment campaign that included the planting of cocaine in her office to get her fired.

She's not alone in facing union intimidation.  Workers in Phoenix are witnessing first-hand Big Labor's war on the secret ballot, Teamster union officials tried to fine several Chicago truck drivers more than $200,000 when they refused to abandon their jobs during a so-called "sympathy strike," and a Hollywood studio teacher was illegally fired for not joining a union -- even though she actually tried to join and was refused membership.
