While union leaders say these posters insult workers' intelligence, there is no denying that Delta has had considerable success beating back unionization. Delta is the least unionized major US carrier, and thanks to its aggressive anti-union campaigns, organizing drives by the flight attendants' union were defeated in 2002, 2008 and 2010. Delta's flight attendants narrowly rejected unionizing in 2010, with 9,216 voting for and 9,544 against.
