		<description><![CDATA[The massive modernization bill costing more than $64 billion over four years will allow the nation’s air traffic control system to switch from radar to GPS technology.  It’s a move that allows the country to finally enter the 21st Century with respect to its air traffic control capabilities, thereby making the skies safer and plane travel more cost efficient. In addition, unmanned drone flights can start flying American skies in the next several years. <a href="http://www.biglaborbailout.com/2012/02/07/congress-chooses-modernization-over-big-labor/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite opposition from some labor bosses, the legislation appropriately requires the support of 50 percent of workers to conduct a union election, ensures that run-off elections are between the top two ballot recipients including the no-union vote, compels the National Mediation Board (NMB) to conduct public hearings in advance of significant rulemaking and requires the Government Accountability Office to audit the NMB every two years. <a href="http://www.biglaborbailout.com/2012/02/07/faa-legislation-protects-workers-in-critical-transportation-sector/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
