交通部长警告空中交通管制员勿因停摆请病假
摘要
交通部长肖恩·达菲警告空中交通管制员在政府停摆期间不要请病假，强调这可能导致中断和相应后果。
交通部长肖恩·达菲对空中交通管制员在持续的政府停摆期间请病假表示担忧，称此类行为正在对空中交通造成重大干扰，且不会被容忍。
“如果我们有一些员工没有表现出我们所需的敬业精神，我们将解雇他们，”达菲表示，并指出在停摆期间，超过90%的管制员仍坚持上班。
全国各地的机场因管制员短缺而出现延误，像加利福尼亚的伯班克和田纳西的纳什维尔等小型机场受到的影响尤为严重。新泽西纽瓦克、芝加哥、丹佛和达拉斯-沃斯堡等主要枢纽机场也出现了延误。
联邦航空管理局（FAA）已面临管制员严重短缺的问题。达菲已将增加招聘作为优先事项，但他表示那些“问题儿童”管制员可能会被解雇。
交通部发言人重申了这一立场，称“如果有极少数故意缺勤并扰乱我们运营的不良行为者，必将面临后果。”
全国空中交通管制员协会（NATCA）呼吁其成员在停摆期间继续工作。
“NATCA声明，参与罢工行动可能导致被联邦服务除名，”强调在此期间保持专业精神的重要性。
管制员们担心停摆期间的经济困难，因为他们在无薪工作。达菲承认这些挑战，但强调需要敬业精神以维持空中交通运营。
