The FAA and its largest union, the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, announced today they have reached a tentative agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement covering air traffic control specialists assigned to terminal and en route facilities, traffic management coordinators/specialists, controllers assigned to the flight service option and Notice to Airmen specialists.
The tentative agreement culminates a swift and very effective interest-based bargaining process that began in January. It reflects the strong collaborative relationship that FAA and NATCA have established over the past seven years. The current collective bargaining agreement was signed in 2009 and extended in 2012.
