Makes perfect sense to me. Inferior people always unionize in today’s workforce.
The day’s of REAL reasons to unionize are mostly all gone.
The democrats finally found a way to politically profit from terrorism.
Oh, they had those before this...this is just another way for them to politically profit from terrorism.
This is just a bone thrown to Richie Trumka to salve him over not getting Card Check, and to thank him for joining the campaign to help deal with Obama’s “white guy problem”.
Can the function of airport screening be privatized? I understand that this has been done in several locations, with good results (less wait time, more efficient use of personnel, and generally better conditions for the screeners), and it also takes away a potential source of greater bureaucratic intercession.
The screening of air passengers should have ALWAYS been the purview and duty of the airlines themselves, as they are the ones whose equipment is under threat, and whose aircrews are at risk. Government employees have no such incentive to take their duties anywhere nearly as seriously.
Now watch the cost balloon, plus you’ll not be able to fire somebody when they feel-you-up.
Workers should only be able to unionize if they can show widespread mistreatment. This is TSA, a government job, how bad can it be?
...if we thought a “screener with a badge” was bad before, any bets as to when the next “abuse of power” story appears?
The government said “Don’t complain, it could be worse.”
Now they are determined to prove it.
Awesome, government unions make everything better. /sarc
I’d let them unionize if they’d figure out how to collect their paychecks without xraying or irradiating or groping us. (We’ve stopped flying until these fine folks can do this )
First strike, they need to become the incarnation of the air traffic controllers under Reagan: unemployed.
Do you REALLY think an ObaRomney would fire govt workers?
Since I haven’t flown since Jan. 2005 and plan to never ever fly or step foot on any airport property again for the rest of my life - I don’t care.
Great — the lines will get longer and airfares will rise higher.
My bet, the answer is like the president, zero.
5.56mm
now that theyre free from worry over being fired they can really give us a good groping.
Many Freepers predicted when it was created, this (and similar ) would be the outcome when Bush authorized creation of DHS.
if the boondoggle fits...intentions dont matter.outcomes do.
