Busy Summer

So I haven't been doing a great job of keeping this site updated over the last couple of months. Truth be told, I haven't had the chance to get out and ride very much so far.

I've been really busy with my duties as local NATCA president and facility representative at the air traffic control tower where I work.

In 2006, the FAA threw out our contract and imposed their own set of working conditions. Thankfully, the Obama Administration came through on their promise to get us back to the table to negotiate a real collective bargaining agreement.

The tentatively agreed upon articles were released late last month and the articles that were sent to binding arbitration were released this week.

Needless to say, I've been spending a lot of time reading the materials, attending training, and educating our membership on the tentative pact. It is definitely time well spent, and the upcoming changes will be great for our bargaining unit.

I have done a couple of rides over the last month and will post articles over the next day or so.

(The photo at the top of this entry is from our local union meeting that we held at the 5/3 Field before watching a Mud Hens baseball game. It was the best meeting ever!)
