National Representatives will be elected to two - year terms that begin on September 1, 2016. The following bargaining units will elect National Representatives: (1) Drug Abate ment Inspectors and Investigators (AAM - 800); (2) Aircraft Certification Services (AIR); (3) En Route Automation; (4) Terminal Automation; (5) Airports (ARP); (6) Office of Chief Counsel (AGC); and (7) Flight Service (FSS). (Due to NATCA's recent success in the election to determine the exclusive representative for the AFN unit (which has absorbed the Regions and Center Operations (ARC) unit), a National Representative for the ARC unit will not be able to be elected until the organizational realignment of th e AFN unit is complete. NATCA is moving expeditiously, in conjunction with the FAA, to facilitate the completion of this realignment, but it is not anticipated that the relevant membership and representational issues will be clarified and resolved in time for the National Representative for the unit to be included in this election.)
