That bogus union vote rule was in effect for decades!! Now, thanks to this NMB, a simple majority wins. Delta's employee groups and Skywest's pilot group will be unionized on the next go around. Bank on it. This is huge.
Then why after negotiating for over 5 years did they put us on ICE. The LEAST they could have done was tell us to meet back with them in a couple of weeks.
