Earlier this week, PASS filed a national grievance claiming that when the FAA delayed paying “excepted” employees who worked during the shutdown furlough it violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and must pay damages to all impacted employees. The grievance mirrors the claims set forth in a lawsuit recently filed in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims by a group of federal employees. PASS is asking that the grievance be held in abeyance pending resolution of the lawsuit. More information will be provided as the case is processed.
