BRONX NEWS: Delta workers voting on whether to join union

Delta Air Lines workers rallied along with elected officials on Friday to drum up support for a key union vote.

Nearly 3,000 New York Delta employees are eligible to vote on whether to become members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. Ballots are due by Nov. 18. The vote was the result of the 2008 merger of Delta and Northwest Airlines.

The rally was attended by Reps. Anthony Weiner (D-Queens, Brooklyn) and Jerrold Nadler (D-Manhattan) among other elected officials at the Doubletree Hotel in Jamaica, Queens.

The association is the largest airline union in the U.S. It represents more than 100,000 airline workers.
