Hundreds of FAA staff fired by Trump administration, union says happymamay

The Trump administration began launching hundreds of federal aviation administration (FAA), according to the Union of Professional Aviation Safety Specialists, after weeks of a deadly plane collided in Washington, DC.

Alex Spiro said that several hundreds of testing of the agency’s test – who were generally in their positions for a period of less than a year – received the news via e -mail late Friday night, a statement from Pass.

It is part of the cost drive, driven by it Government efficiency department in Elon Musk (Doug)This aims to significantly reduce the federal workforce.

Spearo has shot “shameful” and said they “will increase the burden of work and put new responsibilities on a work that already stretches.”

BBC contacted the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Ministry of Transport for comment.

According to Spero, affected workers include systems, safety inspectors, maintenance mechanics and administrative employees, among others.

This step was criticized, Spearo said that the Angolan armed forces “are already facing a challenge by employees”, and that the decision to cut employees “is unreasonable in the wake of three fatal accidents last month,” including A killer crash at Ronald Reagan Airport in Washington, DC, where 67 people were killed.

Jason King, one of those who have been developed, said it is concerned about how this step affects the safety of flying.

He told Wusa9, a company affiliated with the American BBC partner, that the shooting of the people participating directly in the air safety “related to public safety in the national airspace.”

Mr. King, whose work in the Federal Aviation Administration participated in handling safety concerns directly, said that the cuts “threaten the public’s confidence and increase the possibility of future accidents.”

“The flight safety should never be treated as a budget element that can be completely reduced,” he added.

On Monday, a team of Elon Musk’s Spacex was appointed to visit FAA to suggest improvements to the air traffic control system in the United States, after the Washington DC plane collided in January.

Although the National Transport Safety Council has not yet determined the cause of the collision, the employment levels in air traffic control at the airport were less than normal levels in the evening of the accident.

Transport Minister Sean Duffy said that the visit of the Spacex team to FAA will give them a “direct look at the current system”, and will allow them to know how “the new global air monitoring system” of the world style that will be envy of the world. “

He added that he is planning to visit the FAA Academy – which provides training for the workforce of the organization – later this week, to learn more about employees’ education “and how we can ensure that the best evidence for our plane.”

President Donald Trump caused controversy last month When he suggested that its former diversity programs have reduced employment standards that could affect the crash of Washington, DC.

The Trump administration has ordered government agencies to launch almost all test staff, who have not yet obtained job protection. It is a step that can affect hundreds of thousands of people.

Among those who lost their jobs in Friday discounts, half of the centers of diseases control of diseases were called “pathogens”.

Researchers – officers who are officially served in a two -year program in the organization’s epidemiological intelligence service – are often published on the front lines for the outbreak of major diseases.

Many members of the plan continued in the agency’s ranks.

President Trump also asked the Supreme Court to allow him To launch the head of the Independent Ethics Agency Which protects federal employees who are informed.

Hampton Delinger, head of the US Adviser’s Office, sued the Trump administration after being expelled last month.

This is the first issue related to a series of executive procedures for Trump to reach the country’s highest court.

Since assuming his post, the President has reduced more than dozens of general inspectors in various federal agencies.
