If management agrees in contract negotiations and you have that in your contract you can force the issue. delta management was never going to agree to such a clause in our contract and no such clause existed.
Delta management could have merged ASA and Comair any time they wanted without DALPA having any say in the matter. They were however never going to do that for reasons almost to numerous to list. In most cases managements at other airlines have reached the same conclusion.
