you know, this all started with delta airlines. delta airlines is out of atlanta, georgia, and they've had four -- they don't like -- they don't have any unions. that's their business, not mine. and they've had four elections. unions have tried to organize four times. four times the unions have lost. so it would appear that their chances aren't very good in the future, but that doesn't stop delta. they want to make sure that we put in place a structured system which is out of kilter to a fair election for that kind of -- and other purposes with other unions. so what they then did, they sent over an essential air service policy rider on the extension. unprecedented. with which we didn't agree. and, therefore, one, you don't do it in the first place, and if you do do it, both sides have to agree to it before you send it over and then it's easy to say okay, we'll extend it, and then we include that policy because both sides have agreed to it. but they sent over an essential air service program specifically targeted at rural communitie

delta airlines said they will start processing refunds for folks who bought tickets and that is even though the tax expired while they traveled. airlines were not authorized to collect that tax after july 22nd but many airlines did raise their basic prices so that fares remained the same. they were taking in an extra $4 million a day that way. >>> inn dangered blue -- endangered blue whales are showing up early in california. a pod of more than a dozen whales were discovered off the coast of long beach. blue whales are not expected for another couple of months. >>> there is a new addiction to chp patrol cars. they have a purple ribbon. >>> and cleaning up after your dogs where people can turn pet waste into gold. . >>> an agreement is expected to be formalized over a dispute over 100 acres in the south bay. they have been battling over who will get the tax revenue from the area known as area 36. the two cities have agreed campbell will get the land and san jose will get $1 million. >>> starting today california highway patrol cars will be decorated with purple ribbons, it is part of t

now airline workers trying to organize non-union companies like delta airlines will be able to form a union if they win a majority of the votes cast in a union certification election. william gould ran the national labor relations board under president bill clinton and says the change means airline workers will be treated like every other worker trying to form a union. >> all require a majority of those actually voting. >> reporter: that's one side of the argument. on the other side, house republicans see the voting rules as another front in a political war with the obama administration and its labor union allies. in recent debates, republicans point out the rule change makes it easier to create a union, but doesn't allow workers to vote to leave a union. >> what's proposed as fairness is the height of unfair. >> reporter: so house republicans are insisting any legislation reauthorizing the federal aviation administration reinstate the old voting rules. that's how airfare taxes become a fight over organized labor. democratic senators say they won't give in to house republicans, especi

the airlines that are hardest hit. delta, u.s. airlines, united delta and jetblue. even though they have repositioned aircraft out of harm's way because of the storm, now they must get equipment where it belongs. some planes are being flown empty to get them to where they are needed. it's even harder to find a seat because of the end of summer rush and the upcoming labor day holiday. amtrak says all regional service between boston and philadelphia canceled, and express service from boston to new york is not yet operational. amtrak says if your train is canceled, though, you can get a full refund. as for pair passengers they can also get their money back if they flight is canceled. do not expect to get a free hotel room, they only have to provide accommodations if it was something mechanical or something they could prevented. and this certainly doesn't fall into that category. jenna: interesting about hotels not having that. with a lot of people who have had to evacuate and go to hotels somewhere makes money somewhere when these situations happen. you know, flooding
