‘Air traffic controllers cannot do their work without us’
The #Trump admin has defended its cuts at the Federal Aviation Administration by saying #safety-critical employees weren’t affected. Experts disagree.

The first wave of WH-ordered firings at the #FAA included employees who play important roles in the #safety of #AirTravel — despite the #Trump admin’s assurances that no “critical” staff had been axed.
>130 of the eliminated workers held jobs that directly or indirectly support the air traffic controllers, facilities & technologies that the FAA uses to keep planes & their passengers safe, acc/to the union that represents them, the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists.
@Nonilex More evidence of the Trump crash - except this one is costing lives. American lives.
