Delta Air Lines Inc. was sued by flight attendants claiming the carrier is punishing them for their union membership while working for Northwest Airlines Corp. before its acquisition in 2008.

“Delta management withheld higher profit-sharing checks from over 7,500 pre-merger Northwest flight attendants based solely upon their prior union membership,” the Association of Flight Attendants said in a statement announcing the filing of the complaint today in federal court in Minneapolis.
