Title: Airline Deregulation: Employee Benefit Program | |
Abstract: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia held that section 43 of the Airline Deregulation Act was unconstitutional. On July 16, 1985, the U.S. Court of Appeals decided that employee protection provisions of section 43 were severable from the legislative veto provisions. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on March 25, 1987, that the legislative veto provisions were unconstitutional but the employee protection provisions were constitutional; therefore, rulemaking on the monetary benefits aspect of the employee protection program can proceed. In 1991 DOT determined there were no job losses due to deregulation. In September 1993, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ordered DOT to develop broader guidelines to apply to air carriers, which may result in a finding of job losses. DOL has reinstituted clearance on the proposed rule. No benefits are payable to eligible workers until DOT determines that an air carrier experienced a qualifying dislocation and Congress appropriates the money to award benefits. To date, neither of these actions has occurred. | |
