 FAA Imposes Pact On Air Controllers
Quote: FAA Imposes Pact On Air Controllers
Move Comes Two Months After Contract Talks Stalled; House May Intervene
WASHINGTON, June 6, 2006
(AP) The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday it would impose its own contract on the nation's air traffic controllers, two months after negotiations on a new contract broke down.
"The FAA's proposed change takes effect as of today, and we will begin the process of implementing our proposal," FAA Administrator Marion Blakey said in a statement Monday.
The FAA's proposal would preserve base salaries and premiums for living in high-cost areas, but new controllers would earn 30 percent less than what the existing work force earns.
