With the votes tallied on December 7, 2010, Delta Air Lines customer service agents overwhelmingly voted against unionization, a blow to unions at the former Northwest Airlines. At 8,746 votes against the union to 3,772 in favor of it, the union contract for the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) was nullified, which had represented former Northwest workers. After, the IAM filed election interference charges with the National Mediation Board against Delta Air Lines.
