This Agreement is made by and between the National Association of Air Traffic Specialists ("NAATS" or "the union") and the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA" or "the Agency"), collectively known as "the Parties." This Agreement represents the Parties understanding of the agency's proposal to use CRU-X at air traffic control facilities where NAATS bargaining unit members work. This agreement shall be posted at all facilities with NAATS bargaining unit members within 30 days of its effective date. This agreement shall remain in effect until cancelled by mutual agreement of the Parties.

Section 1. Where personal computers (PC�s) are available a PC will be provided in each area of specialization which is easily available for BUE�s to access CRU-X.

Section 2. The Employer agrees that CRU-X shall not be used as the sole means to notify NAATS bargaining unit members of schedule changes unless mutually agreed by the Parties at the local level.

Section 3. If an entry on the CRU-X "sign-in" feature is amended, the Employer shall notify the affected BUE. If the bargaining unit member does not agree with the amendment he/she may use the negotiated grievance procedure contained in Article 67 of the NAATS/FAA Agreement.

Section 4. The Parties agree that only the NAATS bargaining unit member will have access to his/her CRU-X password. There is no exception, including system administrators. Further, the Employer agrees to encrypt password documentation.

Section 5. The duty supervisor shall be responsible for ensuring unit members are aware of the time they will be needed to return to operational duties. Any method used shall be subject to negotiations by the Parties at the local level.

Section 6. This Agreement does not constitute a waiver of any union statutory or contractual right. Further negotiations are reserved at the local level on those matters that are otherwise negotiable.
