The nation’s 44,000 newly unionized airport screeners have ratified their first-ever collective bargaining agreement, giving them more say in what they wear on the job, the shifts they work and the time off they take, whether they can change from part-time to full-time work or back, their union announced today.
The American Federation of Government Employees union, which won the right to represent the screeners in an election last year, said its members voted 17,326 to 1,774 in favor of ratifying the first labor deal struck with the Transportation Security Administration since the agency was founded 10 years ago in the wake of 9/11.

In a side agreement that was not part of the agreement ratified today, management and labor also agreed that, effective Nov. 1, employees would be entitled to third-party arbitration in disputed disciplinary cases.

I saw that. Can’t wait for them to strike. Perhaps that will awaken the Rumpelstiltskins out there.
Yeah, and let’s see Obama forced into doing a Reagan on them, like the air traffic controllers... without these idiots they won’t let the airports operate so it ought to get interesting real fast.
Heh, heh, heh...
There you go. Wouldn’t that be a hoot.
Hell, he’d executive order their demands into law at a moment’s notice, so that wouldn’t go anywhere.
They’re not totally stupid, they’d keep escalating and escalating... “HEY BARACK YOU OWE US ONE” but ultimately, train wreck.
Agreed...
The contract specified that they can grope no more than 20 passengers in a given hour.
