Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said on Monday that there is 'no possibility' of a pilot strike during the holiday travel season that includes Thanksgiving and Christmas.
However, the union said that's not the case.
Delta pilots, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association , tweeted that "CEO Ed Bastian got it wrong" and that "the law of the U.S. allows unions to strike."The comments came a week after Delta pilots overwhelmingly voted to authorize union leaders to strike, if necessary, to get a new contract agreement with the carrier.
Delta Air Lines passenger jets rest on the tarmac, July 21, 2021, at Boston Logan International Airport, in Boston.is frustrated with how long it's been taking to get a deal done, saying its pilots are working under pay rates, contractual provisions and benefits that were negotiated six years ago. Negotiations for a new contract started in April 2019 but were paused in March 2020 for nearly two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Talks resumed in January 2022.
Delta also issued a similar statement last week, saying that "under that federal law, there are many steps remaining in the process and many opportunities left for collaborative negotiations before a strike is even allowed to be considered." Before a strike can even take place, the ALPA says the National Mediation Board must decide that any other mediation efforts would not be helpful and offer both sides the opportunity to arbitrate the contract dispute.
