Senators Step into Controller Pay Dispute
New Jersey Sen.

New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D) and high-time general aviation pilot Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) have introduced bipartisan legislation that would ensure good-faith collective bargaining for FAA employees and provide for an impartial impasse resolution process. At the same time, it would restart contract talks between the agency and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (Natca).

According to the two lead cosponsors, the bill, S.3416, “The Federal Aviation Administration Employee Retention Act,” would restore fairness to the collective bargaining process for Natca, the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists (Pass) and other employee unions.
