RETROACTIVE COMPENSATION OF PROFIT SHARING PETITION | DELTA WORKERS UNITE

RETROACTIVE COMPENSATION OF PROFIT SHARING PETITION

Dear Delta Air Lines,
We were all excited to receive a letter from Ed Bastian on September 27th, 2017, which announced that, to align our compensation with our values, Delta Air Lines would reinstate the old profit sharing formula which offered significantly higher profit sharing payouts than the newer formula. This way, we would again be in line with our other Delta employees: the pilots, starting on October 1st, 2017.
By making this announcement, our company has taken the first step in correcting something that, in the words of our CEO, “didn’t align with our one-team culture and didn’t feel like Delta.”
While we are happy that the company has taken this first step, we, the undersigned employees, feel that to truly align with our CEO’s statement, Delta Air Lines should retroactively compensate us for the profit sharing payout that we did not receive for all the year 2016 and the first three quarters of 2017 under the new profit sharing formula.
As Above and Below Wing ACS Employees, Reservations and Sale Agents, and Flight Attendants, we worked as diligently as the pilots to make Delta Air Lines the most profitable airline, and the best airline, in the country. By retroactively compensating us, Delta Air Lines would bring our 2016 and 2017 profit sharing compensation in line with the pilots, something we can all agree, is the fair, and equitable thing to do.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned Delta Air Lines Employees

Can't get what you don't ask for. If it were me I'd ask too.

Lol. According to Ed, we took smaller raises to keep our ps. Their request will never happen. We truly do negotiate for every employee group. I would like to see that end. I thought it did end, but after 2 years of negotiating chaos after we turned down TA, things have returned to stable again where all employee group's raises are equal.

They agreed to give it up. Didn't they (whoever they are) vote on a contract which in turn changed their PS?!

NO!!! Next time run the numbers before voting "Yes".

No, the company imposed the trade on them. The company gave them a big fat raise to avoid a me-too raise for the pilots during contract negotiations but pulled a good slice of their PS. Employee groups shouldn't be fighting each other, management is the boogie man.

Ok. Thanks!

LOL!

Tell that to my kidney stones.

Who are the ramp organizing committee?

I'd rather we negotiate for advances that end up going to our co-workers, than those coworkers forming a union. Our own union has some real characters that threaten to torpedo what we've got. I can't even imagine an FA union.

A flight attendant union isn't a bad thing. It lets them fend for themselves usually less successfully than pilot unions. This is based on just about every other airline's flight attendant unions.
