The International Association of Machinists says it will launch a campaign Monday to organize about 6,000 fleet-service workers at Delta Air Lines

That is probably what Bastian was saying also with his recent comments. He probably got wind of this early on.

That's what happens when you treat workers like garbage.....they organize.

Unions....a regretable necessity

From Whitehursts Oct 11 online chat.

Q.Yesterday an article quoted Ed Bastian as saying at the Aviation Forecast Conference that our "employee costs and labor costs are still uncompetitive". By what measure is this statement made? After all we have given it is disheartening to read quotes like this time and time again. We have nothing left to give.

Jim Whitehurst: I think that was taken out of context. He was referring to where our costs were in September 2005 when we filed for bankruptcy. Given the sacrifices you have all made since that time, costs are competitive now.

I think that Delta's executives and leaders are uncompetitive, stupid, greedy, and overpaid.
