DELTA PILOTS VOTE TO AUTHORIZE STRIKE
Travel Market Report reports that the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), which represents 15,000 Delta Air Lines pilots, voted on Monday to authorize a strike if a deal isn't reached on a new employee contract. The National Mediation Board, the independent agency that coordinates labor relations in the US railroad and airline industry, will offer Delta management and the ALPA an opportunity to arbitrate a deal. Should either party decline arbitration, the two would enter a 30-day “cooling-off” period. After that, ALPA would have the right to strike, and Delta would have the right to lock out its pilots.
