Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey called on Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian to remain neutral as flight attendants continue efforts to unionize. The senators accused management of using messaging that could discourage organizing, including allegedly suggesting that unionization could threaten employees’ future pay and benefits. Delta denied interfering with the campaign, saying it supports employees’ right to decide whether they want union representation and maintains a non-interference policy. The dispute is part of a broader organizing campaign involving Delta flight attendants, fleet service workers, and technicians that has been underway since 2022.
