practice of voter suppression would no longer have meaning in a more
democratic election.
It’s important to note that the NMB has not yet made the declaration of “single
carrier status” for the flight attendants at NW and DL. The single carrier
determination is what triggers an election at a carrier in a merger situation. Delta
and its anti-union campaign are quick to point to the recent USA3000 election in
which flight attendants voted for union representation. The USA3000 election
proceeded under the current NMB rules because single carrier status was not
necessary for the NMB to hold an election. Since we are not yet voting, there is
no election. No single carrier, no election. We are ready to vote and will wait for
the Board to make its ruling and consideration of the TTD petition.
The NMB will lay out its timeline and comment on the TTD request when it has
reviewed all appropriate information. Until that time, activists at Delta will
continue to talk to one another about representation. Delta is the largest
organizing campaign in the labor movement in years; more than 20,000
employees in one world-class bargaining unit will soon have the opportunity to
vote.
DEMYSTIFYING SCOPE
There is a lot of talk about “Scope.” What exactly is “Scope?” Scope is the
legally binding provision in our contract (Section 1.B.) go to:
http://www.nwaafa.org/contract/section1/ that spells out exactly what flying we,
as Northwest Flight Attendants, are entitled to work. Key provisions of our Scope
language have survived decades of changes in management, unions, and the
aviation industry. Recent attempts have been made to downplay the importance
of Scope language in our contract. You may have even seen or read some
insinuation that Scope is no more than a mouthwash. We invite you to familiarize
yourself with Section 1 and decide for yourself why Scope is the leading section
of flight attendant, pilot and mostly all Collective Bargaining Agreements. Go to:
http://nwaafa.org/docs/NWA_AFA_Scope_Statement_OCT09.pdf for a Q&A
related to Scope language.

SPLIT LINES - FOR RESERVES AND LINEHOLDERS
Due to all the merger related programming, the company was unable to complete
all the Split Line programming that is necessary for a November launch of the
new Split Line Program. That means the program is now scheduled to launch in
January, since we don't want to make the December bidding any more
complicated or stressful than it already can be for all of us. In the meantime,
please read over Letter of Agreement 41 for details about this new program.
I've spoken to a lot of Reserves while commuting to the MEC office in MSP and
many don't yet realize that both Regular and Reserve lineholders will be eligible
to bid for this new program. LOA 41can be found on the Negotiations Committee
page or click here:
