    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Nov 30 (Reuters) - The Teamsters has formed a coalition aimed at forming a union for more than 45,000 workers at Delta Air Lines (DAL.N), the labor union said on Thursday.

    The Teamsters are organizing Delta technicians, while AFA is signing up flight attendants, and IAM is supporting ramp, cargo, and tower workers in forming their union.

    Recently, the UAW strikes at the Detroit Three automakers resulted in record contracts, marking another major victory for labor unions over big corporations.

    “Our three unions are … knocking on thousands of doors and talking with workers at Delta,” said Teamsters southern region coordinator Wamon Hock.

    Earlier this year, airline operators across North America faced an aggressive stance by pilots and flight attendants seeking better pay and working conditions.

    Delta in March ratified a new contract with its workers, which included $7 billion in cumulative increases in wages and benefits over four years.
