Don't remember seeing this before, thought it was interesting. I have no horse in this race, nor do I know how true this is.

There used to be limits on the amount of time each person could be on position with mandatory break periods. Now, these work times can be more than two hours, and break time has been shortened. Recovery time away from the control room is needed during shifts. The new rules say that if the person on break is caught resting with eyes closed, he or she will be suspended up to 10 days for the first offense, with dismissal for the third. This seems counter-productive. What better way to combat eyestrain and headache?
