Default Today's Vote

I've been away from my tv and computer all afternoon. What ever came out of today's vote, in order to shed the agency imposed work rules?

Provides that any proposed changes implemented by the FAA on and after July 10, 2005, without the agreement of the FAA and its employees, shall: (1) be null and void and be governed by their last mutual agreement; (2) resume negotiations between the parties until a new contract is adopted; and (3) if an agreement is not reached within 45 days after negotiations resume, then the dispute shall be submitted to Federal Service Impasses Panel for binding arbitration. Makes FAA employees eligible for back pay that are subject to changes that have been declared null and void. Authorizes appropriations.
Basically it requires by law that the FAA scraps the 2006 contract and start negotiating again.
