 New National Mediation Board (NMB)
Member
The U.S. Senate confirmed Linda Puchala as a
new member of the National Mediation Board on the evening of May
21, 2009. Her term will expire July 1, 2012.
-
Ms. Puchala has served as Senior Mediator and
the Associate Director of Alternative Dispute
Resolution
Services (ADR) for the National Mediation Board (NMB). She
joined the National Mediation Board in May, 1999 as a mediator,
working on both airline and railroad cases.
-
Prior to joining the NMB, Ms. Puchala had over
30 years of experience in labor relations. As a
flight
attendant at Republic Airlines, she served as

In light of our upcoming election, we look forward
to working with Ms. Puchala to ensure that the NMB adheres to
its mission of protecting airline employees’ rights to
engage in a free and fair representation election process.

Polling
This Is “Our”
Campaign
The DAL-AFA campaign continues to work hard to
reach out to all flight attendants so that everyone is informed
and educated on the many issues that affect our careers at the
‘new’ Delta. Not an easy endeavor, when our combined
group totals close to 21,000 flight attendants situated around
the globe!
We’ve received many emails from flight
attendants who support representation... heartwarming stories of
conversations with coworkers out on the line, reasons why they
feel representation and a contract are so vital for our future
and profession world-wide, and ideas for campaign communication
pieces, including issues that need to be brought to the
forefront immediately.
 Flight attendants have overwhelmingly stated that they
trust their peers and what they have to say. Sharing the facts
with regard to the differences in compensation, work rules, and
benefits at both carriers is crucial before we begin the
election process...
What do you want to hear and see in future
communication? This campaign belongs to all of us. If you have
ideas, questions, issues that you would like to see addressed,
or a story to share - please forward them by email to communications@deltaafa.org.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Flyer
Open and honest dialogue is a key component to our
representation campaign. We invite you to read, copy and
distribute this FLYER to your friends and coworkers.
Isn’t it time to start talking with each other about the
issues that really matter to all of us as flight attendants at
the ‘new’ Delta?
