Air traffic controllers told to keep working during shutdown
The union representing the nation's air traffic controllers is directing its members to keep working during the U.S. government shutdown now stretching into its second week, with the labor group warning that failure to report for duty could lead to termination.
The National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) told members Monday that it discourages federal employees from taking any actions to compromise air safety. The group represents more than 20,000 air traffic controllers, engineers and professionals in aviation safety-related roles.
"Air traffic controllers and other aviation safety professionals take their responsibility to protect the safety of the flying public very seriously. Participating in a job action could result in removal from federal service," NATCA said in a message to members posted in part on the group's website. "It is not only illegal, but it also undermines NATCA's credibility and severely weakens our ability to effectively advocate for you and your families."
Sick calls edge up
The union's warning came as Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Monday at a news conference at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey that TSA has seen a slight increase in air traffic controllers calling in sick since the shutdown began last week.
"We're tracking sick calls, sick leave. And have we had a slight tick up in sick calls? Yes," he told reporters. "You'll see delays come from that. ... Our priorities are safety, and so if we have additional calls, we will reduce the flow consistent with a rate that's safe for the American people."
Duffy also acknowledged the potential effect on worker morale of being required to work without pay.
"They have bills," he said. "So now they're thinking about that at the same time that they're controlling the airspace, which I don't like that. … We want them to leave their personal problems at the door when they go into a tower or into a facility."
The Federal Aviation Administration defines air traffic controllers as essential workers, requiring them to stay on the job during government closures despite going unpaid. Essential employees required to continue working during a shutdown are guaranteed back pay once the stalemate ends and lawmakers restore government funding.
"We cannot stress enough that it is essential to avoid any actions that could reflect poorly on you, our Union, or our professions," NATCA said in the message to workers. "We urge you to stand in solidarity with your brothers and sisters by continuing to exhibit the same unwavering professionalism that the aviation community and the American people deserve."
