Introduced to the House of Reps. Very similar to H.R.2881 that was introduced in 2007 that passed in the House but stalled in the Senate. Looks like it's likely to pass this time based on the new administration. To be effective fiscal year 2009. Great news!

The first link shows the news piece and supporters (NATCA is one of them) the second link in the actual bill. Title VI - FAA Employees and Organization Section 601 discusses the ATC side of things.

Mirt You're despicable!! Minnesota

I am reading through this, and from what I can tell, it looks like a restoration of the old contract, with back pay, with new negotiations starting from there. Sounds like a good deal all around.

If I am reading it right that is..

What section are you reading this in, this things over 200 pgs, im not finding any of that.

Thanks

Start at section "TITLE VI—FAA EMPLOYEES AND ORGANIZATION" and start reading, it's a few paragraphs long. It starts out by making arbitration the method of resolving contract impasse in the FAA, and moves on to going back to the last mutually negotiated agreement, then a little lower talks about back pay and such. If this manages to pass both house and senate, I don't think it will run into any problems from President Obama.

reads like everything goes back before the cuts and the inposed work rules with back pay,

That last post is assuming it makes it through the house, senate and our " A true champion for fair collective bargaining rights and aviation safety. " Obama signs the thing.
