Flight attendants for Delta Airlines are taking another shot at gaining union representation. Jesse Russell reports:

With Delta Airlines considering a merger with Northwest or United Airlines, flight attendants are aiming once again for union representation. Workers are seeking representation by the Association of Flight Attendants, a division of the Communication Workers of America. If 35 percent of the flight attendants file cards on Thursday in favor of an election, the National Mediation Board will call an election. The last time the flight attendants sought union representation at Delta was in 2001. In that election, representation was rejected. The AFA already represents the flight attendants at Northwest Airlines. Overall, the union represents more than 55,000 attendants in the industry. An announcement about a merger could come as early as this week.
