Delta traditionally has had pretty good relations with their employees - hence no need for a union. Back in the late 1980s, the Delta employees went so far as to have a big fund raising effort - enough to buy one new 767 - and 'gifted' it to the airline (it was named the 'Spirit of Delta' - I flew on it a couple times).
Don't know how things are lately though - heard that things went down hill after the merger with Northwest.
