CWA Wins Piedmont Election, Challenges Delta Loss

CWA pulled off a major organizing victory on November 4th, when gate and ramp agents at the US Airways subsidiary Piedmont Airlines voted 1,170 to 638 in favor of joining the Communications Workers of America. Unfortunately, the results weren?t as positive a day earlier, when a massive anti-union campaign by Delta Airlines left the union 328 votes short of victory in the vote on union representation by 22,000 Delta flight attendants.
