Staying Safe Online: NATCA Members Learn to Navigate the Hatch Act at NiW

May 2, 2024

At #NATCAinWashington, our members heard a critical and engaging briefing and question-and-answer session on the Hatch Act. Special Counsel to NATCA's President Eugene Freedman, along with Deputy Chief at the Office of Special Counsel Erica Hamrick, highlighted the stark realities of social media missteps. A single misguided "like," "share," or "retweet" could lead to removal from federal employment, including positions at the FAA. Our experts made it clear: Ignorance is no shield against the serious repercussions of violating the Hatch Act. Their dynamic presentation armed our NATCAvists with the knowledge needed to navigate these waters safely.
