Delta/Northwest; Seniority is everything.
The dust hasn't settled over at Delta/Northwest. The one news story I found about the trouble with the merger can be linked here: http://www.startribune.com/business/35776879.html?elr=KArksLckD8EQDUoaEyqyP4O:DW3ckUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aU7EaDiaMDCiUZ
Delta is trying to merge the seniority lists of its work groups before a free and fair election for union representation can be held. The IAM had filed a lawsuit earlier to force Delta to wait until a federal mediator calls the two one and then hold an election before preceding with the seniority list integration. Keep an eye on this one. If Delta's attempt to mesh seniority lists favor more non-union employees and a vote for representation is held...guess what.
