P O L I C Y & P O S I T I O N S T A T E M E N T S 36 PSC-3 Contractor-Provided Training (4/06, 12/21) NATCA shall seek to ensure that, whenever staffing is sufficient, training provided in air traffic field facilities be performed by FAA employees. PSC-4 Contract Training/Staffing (4/06) NATCA opposes the use of bargaining unit employees in all FAA initiatives with the objective to contract out their work. SECTION D: LEGISLATIVE PSD-1 Deleted (4/18) PSD-2 Deleted (9/16) PSD-3 Windfall Elimination Provision/Government Pension Offset (4/94) NATCA shall pursue legislation to rescind the Windfall Elimination Provision/Government Pension Offset. PSD-4 Deleted (10/14) SECTION E: MEMBERSHIP & ORGANIZING PSE-1 Organizing FAA Bargaining Units (7/99) NATCA will pursue organizing the rest of unrepresented bargaining units within the FAA, with priority on air traffic services employees. PSE-2 Organizing of Contracted ATC Facilities (4/06) NATCA will pursue the organizing of all contracted air traffic control facilities. PSE-3 RNAV Inclusion (6/23) NATCA will continue to seek ways to involve RNAV members in NATCA organizing, legislative activities, and other issues impacting our Union communities. NATCA will conduct a survey of the RNAV membership to ascertain at a minimum the RNAV membership's knowledge, skills, abilities, unique talents, and the RNAV member's ability/willingness/desire to use those talents for the benefit of our Union. The RNAV Committee Chair will be invited to attend a minimum of one NEB Meeting per calendar year. SECTION F: WORKING CONDITIONS, HIRING & STAFFING PSF-1 Rehire on Contract Tower Employees (4/97, 3/12) NATCA will seek to ensure that, as contract towers represented by NATCA become upgraded to higher-level facilities and revert back to the FAA, the employees at those facilities will be given the opportunity to be hired by the FAA and remain at their facility. PSF-2 Deleted (9/10) PSF-3 Career Progression (4/06) We pride ourselves in working to ensure the American taxpayers reap maximum benefit from the dollars they spend in training air traffic controllers. In recognition of this duty, and to enhance safety, efficiency, and morale, NATCA will seek to ensure the FAA makes every effort to fill vacancies with Certified Professional Controllers who meet the qualifications and who express a desire to relocate to areas where vacancies exist. This policy also ensures the greatest return on investment possible for newly hired air traffic controllers who will, as a consequence, generally be placed in lower level ATC facilities where they have a greater opportunity to be successful.
