Hello Delta Workers!
On this Labor Day weekend, I want to extend my sincere gratitude to all of you who work hard every day to keep Delta Air Lines running smoothly. You are the backbone of the airline industry, and your work is essential to the safe and efficient movement of people and goods.
Labor Day is the perfect time to reflect on what it means to be in a union. Being an IAM member means having a voice in your workplace and the ability to negotiate for better wages, benefits and working conditions.
Delta Air Lines is an extremely profitable company, and its executives are making billions of dollars in compensation. But they are not sharing that wealth with the workers who make the company’s success possible. That’s why it’s so important for you to join the IAM. Together, we can fight for a fair share of the profits and ensure that all Delta workers have a good quality of life.
I know that joining a union can be a daunting task, but I promise that you will not be alone. The IAM has a long history of fighting for the rights of working people, and we will be with you every step of the way. The IAM will be right by your side, standing up against corporate greed and pushing back against the anti-union.

Being in a union means building a better future for ourselves and our families, generations down the line. It means access to a good, sustainable job in the industries of the future. It means earning wages that help us afford a home and keep up with rising rents, and it means knowing that your retirement is secure. Our future—and the future of our families—is better in a union.
On this Labor Day weekend, we will remember the two most important things in the workplace—respect and dignity. The IAM is committed to fighting for you to have a voice on the job.
Together, we can make a difference.
In solidarity,
Richie Johnsen
IAM Air Transport Territory General Vice President
