Delta Air Lines pilots voted overwhelmingly in favor of a strike-authorization ballot, the union representing nearly 15,000 pilots said on Monday.
The Air Lines Pilots Association said 99% of the more than 96% of pilots voting authorized union leaders to call a strike, if necessary, to achieve a contract. Before a strike could take place, the National Mediation Board would first decide that additional mediation efforts would not be productive and offer the parties an opportunity to arbitrate.
