A potential government bailout has become the latest flash point in Delta Air Lines Inc.’s longstanding battle with labor organizers trying to unionize the company’s flight attendants.
Delta’s senior vice president of in-flight service, Allison Ausband, accused the Association of Flight Attendants of opposing any assistance to the company. The union, which has called on Congress to attach certain conditions to any support, has been “suggesting that Delta should be excluded from any potential federal aid,” Ausband said Wednesday in a memo to employees.
