ATLANTA (AP) -- The union that represents Northwest Airlines flight attendants is suing Delta Air Lines.

The union wants to stop company from integrating the two carriers' seniority lists until the combined group is given the chance to vote on union representation.

Northwest's 8,000 flight attendants are represented by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA. Delta's 14,000 flight attendants are not part of any union.

Atlanta-based Delta bought Northwest for $2.8 billion in stock on October 29.
