NATCA will make it a high priority issue to protect the jobs functions and salaries of all its members affected by consolidation, co-location, and outsourcing, and re-alignment. NATCA will strategically utilize available resources and/or legal methods to protect any job functions from being removed from a NATCA bargaining unit.

Rationale: The agency has proposed the removal of the job functions of the Central Altitude Reservation Function (CARF) from the bargaining unit and displacing bargaining unit members under the guise of realignment. NATCA has a duty to represent all members of the bargaining unit fairly, in good faith, and without discrimination regardless of whether it’s a group of 10, 50 or 500. Realignment should be added as an additional prioritization of protection to PSF-7. It is imperative that NATCA should utilize legally available resources and means to fully protect and preserve the job functions during these attacks on our members. An attack on one is an attack on all.
