A story in the Jan. 12 issue of Aviation Daily, “U.S. Chamber of Commerce Wants NMB Provision Out of FAA Bill,” mischaracterized the position of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on a union matter in the FAA reauthorization bill. Bruce Josten, the chamber’s executive VP for government affairs, wants to see House language changing rules for union elections retained in the bill, Chamber spokeswoman Blair Latoff said in an e-mail.
