Title: ●Airline Employee Protection Program
Abstract: This final rule will rescind the Airline Employee Protection Program regulations at 29 CFR 220 that were issued to implement the Rehire Program established by section 43 of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978. The program was intended to assist airline workers who were laid off as a result of airline deregulation by providing a first right of hire for designated employees covered by air carriers. Because of administrative and judicial delays, the Departments final rule implementing the program was not issued until 1985, 7 years after enactment of the Act. The regulation became effective January 27, 1986. In 1998, Congress repealed section 43 of the Airline Deregulation Act in section 199(a)(6) of the Workforce Investment Act (Pub. L. 105-220). Consequently, the regulations implementing the Airline Employee Protection Program are now without force or effect.
