PROFESSIONAL AIRWAYS SYSTEMS SPECIALISTS AND U. S. DEPT. OF TRANSPORTATION FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION WASHINGTON, D.C. 0-NG-2801, Case No. 0-NG-2802 (July 13, 2005)
These consolidated cases came before the Authority on negotiability appeals. Each case concerned the negotiability of two proposals that would incorporate the same training provisions from the parties' collective bargaining agreement into a mid-term memorandum of agreement. The Authority found that the proposals were outside the duty to bargain. The Authority found that the proposals affected management's rights to assign employees and assign work, and that they did not constitute appropriate arrangements. Lastly, the Authority held that the proposals were not within the duty to bargain pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 106(l).
