Here is my email to Jim Swanson this morning regarding the implementation of the ATSAP program at EWR. NATCA EasternRegion does not support the ATSAP program at this time EWR will not participate in it. The NASA ASRS form is the proper method of complying with the "no disciplne" procedure for OE's.
Jim,
It has come to my attention that Mr. Rick Day has issued a memorandum, dated June 30, 2009, to all managers regarding the implementation of ATSAP at all facilities. While I understand that NATCA has entered into an agreement with the Agency regarding the implementation of ATSAP, I must make it clear now to avoid any misunderstanding or confusion in the future.
The ATSAP program is voluntary and NATCA and NATCA bargaining unit employees of Newark Tower will participate on a schedule determined by the Union at the Regional and local level, not by the Agency and certainly not by Mr. Day.
If the Agency is interested in addressing the concerns of the Union at the local level regarding participation in the ATSAP program, please feel free to have Mr. Day contact me directly
If you have begun implementation, I firmly maintain that you cease and desist from imposing this voluntary program unwillingly on members of the bargaining unit.
