Air Traffic Controller Union Wins Court Case On Overtime Pay

http://www.laborradio.org/node/9145

By Doug Cunningham

The National Air Traffic Controller�s Association says a federal court victory on overtime pay affirms that the FAA can�t just railroad everything past the union without other federal oversight. The union won a case that found the FAA violated the federal Fair Labor Standards Act by imposing comp time and credit hours rather than paying time and a half overtime dating back to 1996. More than 7400 workers are due financial compensation from the ruling by U.S. Court of Federal Claims Judge Emily Hewitt. The union calls it a resounding victory.
