\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tCelebrating Federal Employees!\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Since 1985, Congress has designated the first full week of May as Public Service Recognition Week (PSRW) to show appreciation for the men and women who make up the nation\u2019s civil service. PSRW has always been an opportunity for the country to acknowledge the important work PASS members and all federal employees do every day to keep our nation running. But this year is different. Since January, there has been a barrage of memos and actions taken by the administration aimed at federal employees. Through executive orders and negative social media posts making false claims about professionalism and performance, a target has been placed squarely on the backs of our country\u2019s civil servants. \u201cBut that will not stop PASS from recognizing the federal employees we represent at the Federal Aviation Administration and Department of Defense,\u201d said National President Dave Spero. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t take away anything from celebrating the stellar government service they provide on a daily basis.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t

The Critical Incident Stress Management Program (CISM) is a joint initiative between PASS and the FAA that has been designed to help Air Traffic Organization (ATO) and Aviation Safety (AVS) employees effectively manage stress following a critical incident. Critical incidents include airplane accidents, natural disasters or the death of a coworker on the job. The program is intended to help individuals identify and cope with their responses to such events. The focus of CISM is to provide reassurance and to minimize the harmful effects of job stress, particularly in crisis or emergency situations. {slider title=”PASS CISM Team” open=”false”} National CoordinatorsJustin Achord (ATO) Mary Oaks (AVS) Team membersHal Adkins (ATO) Tarun ‘T’ Sudama (ATO)Shirleen Thomas-Jones (ATO)Tim Sisk (AVS)Carl Newton (AVS) {slider title=”Contacting CISM”} Whether you or someone you know has been involved in an accident, sustained an injury, or has experienced any sort of traumatic event, do not hesitate to call or text an on-call PASS CISM coordinator for assistance at (202) 773-1744.

\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tAVS CBA Travel Rules for Return-to-Office\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

I wanted to follow up on the message you received from PASS on Friday afternoon regarding the FAA\u2019s implementation of the full-time, in-person, in-office presence or Return-to-Office (RTO) policy. The agency is now imposing a change in long ago implemented workplace flexibilities on you by directing you to report in person regularly and routinely to a facility for your assigned duties. This is solely an FAA decision influenced by executive orders and DOT guidance. Nothing has been agreed to by PASS. You have rights and protections under our collective bargaining agreement (CBA) which is a legally enforceable document. PASS will enforce the provisions to which both parties have agreed. We also know that many of you either had full-time routine telework agreements, had no assigned facility, and\/or had your home as your Official Duty Station (ODS). The ODS is the city, county and state or foreign location as identified in blocks 38 and 39 of your SF-50. If your ODS lists your residence city, county and state and then it is likely you were a full-time telework or a remote worker. ODS, Travel, Expenses and Compensation Article 100 covers many of the Travel and Per Diem rules but most of the circumstances outlined below will utilize Article 104, Local\/Work Site Travel.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tPASS on Reinstatement of Probationary Employees at FAA\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

PASS National President David Spero released the following statement regarding the reinstatement of terminated probationary employees at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA): “It is welcome news PASS received today that effective this week, the FAA is reinstating the 132 employees we represented who were summarily fired on February 14, 2025, while they were in their probationary period. They will receive back pay from February 15 and should return to duty status on March 20. “While the agency is complying with a Maryland court ruling handed down last week that said the terminations at various agencies\u2014including the Department of Transportation\u2014were unlawful, this is a win for public safety and for a critical workforce dedicated to the FAA\u2019s mission. Haphazardly eliminating positions and encouraging resignations creates a demoralizing effect on the workforce. The fact that these excellent civil servants, many of whom are veterans and all are members of our communities, can now return to duty and collect a well-deserved paycheck for their professional skills will lift their spirits and those of their colleagues immensely.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t

Today, David Spero, national president of the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists, AFL-CIO (PASS), testified in front of Congress to address air traffic control systems maintained by employees PASS represents at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); the lack of adequate staffing among the airway transportation systems specialists workforce and the resources needed to maintain the world\u2019s largest, safest and most complex air traffic control system. President Spero began his remarks during the House Transportation and Infrastructure Aviation Subcommittee hearing on America Builds: Air Traffic Control System Infrastructure and Staffing, by addressing the chaos and turmoil aimed at federal employees over the last six weeks. \u201cPASS is concerned by the confusing messages from the administration regarding deferred resignations, terminating probationary employees without cause and the efforts to purge the federal workforce,\u201d he told lawmakers. \u201cHaphazardly eliminating positions and encouraging resignations are having a demoralizing effect on the workforce. They are a distraction for employees performing safety-critical duties,\u201d he continued. \u201cAll parts of this aviation ecosystem work together to accomplish a critical goal\u2014the safety of the American flying public.\u201d Read the full testimony President Spero then turned to the airway transportation systems specialists workforce represented by PASS. These employees in the FAA\u2019s Air Traffic Organization Technical Operations unit ensure the functionality of communications, computers, navigational aids<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t

Update: PASS received a list from the FAA on Feb. 18 of the probationary employees it represents who were terminated. The total as of now is 132. Washington, D.C.\u2014David Spero, National President of the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists (PASS), AFL-CIO, issued the following statement today on the termination of probationary employees at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA): We are troubled and disappointed by the administration\u2019s decision to fire FAA probationary employees PASS represents without cause nor based on performance or conduct. Several hundred employees have been impacted with messages being sent from an \u2018exec order\u2019 Microsoft email address, not an official .gov email address. Messages began arriving after 7 pm ET on February 14 and continued late into the night. It is possible that others will be notified over the weekend or literally barred from entering FAA buildings on Tuesday, February 18. These are not nameless, faceless bureaucrats. They are our family, friends and neighbors. They contribute to our communities. Many military veterans are among them. It is shameful to toss aside dedicated public servants who have chosen to work on behalf of their fellow Americans.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
