Air controllers action won't affect travelers Last Updated Fri, 09 Aug 2002 16:46:28 OTTAWA - Canada's air traffic controllers are going to start job action against their employer, Nav Canada, on Saturday morning, but travelers won't notice a thing. They're going to stop training new controllers, the only action they're allowed to take against their employer. For safety reasons, that's all the Canadian Industrial Relations Board will let them do, the Canadian Air Traffic Control Association says. The controllers have been working without a contract for a more than a year. They say working conditions are the main issue. They're allowed to work six eleven-hour shifts a week before they get overtime, and "you can make mistake if you're fatigued," a spokeswoman says. The company says the dispute is really about money.
