Delta pilots vote to strike
Delta Air Lines pilots have overwhelmingly voted to strike.
The Air Line Pilots Association said 99% voted to authorize a strike if a new contract agreement with Delta isn’t agreed.
“Delta’s nearly 15,000 pilots sent a clear message to management that we are willing to go the distance to secure a contract that reflects the value we bring to Delta,” said Capt. Jason Ambrosi, chair of Delta’s pilot union.
Pilots won’t be able to strike until there is an official stalemate in negotiations.
The union says pilots are working under a contract agreed way back in 2016
New contract discussions have been ongoing since April 2019 without agreement.
The contract talks were suspended for almost two years during the pandemic, and restarted in January.
Delta says there are several mediated steps to pass before a strike is possible.
“Delta and ALPA have made significant progress in our negotiations and have only a few contract sections left to resolve,” the airline said.
“We are confident that the parties will reach an agreement that is fair and equitable.”
