FAA, union agree on new rest rules for air-traffic controllers By Reuters

(Reuters) – The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Wednesday it had struck a deal with an employee union to ensure that air-traffic controllers receive additional rest.

The FAA in May said it was delaying requiring air-jobtraffic controllers to get 10 hours off between shifts and 12 hours off before a midnight shift that had been set to take effect in late July. The new rules will start with schedules that are to be negotiated for 2025.
