AFGE Stands with TSA Workers
The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) ^ | 10/8/14 | The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE)

AFGE is proud to represent the more than 45,000 Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) who risk their own safety daily to ensure the safety of travelers in our airports. Because of their bravery, countless families travel daily by air without incident. Our union is committed to protecting the pay, benefits, and workplace rights you deserve.

Hmm,I searched for ebola on the The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) website and this is what the search returned.

Search

I would think some of the 45,000 Transportation Security Officers,not to mention the other 605,000 AFGE union members would like a little more info.

Maybe not,I don't belong to a union.

There’s more risk being a passenger than there is being a TSA agent. Their greatest job risk is getting caught stealing or smuggling drugs.

Well,if I was a TSA worker,I would have some questions.

I couldn't get fired,cause I'm in a union;)

risk their own safety daily...

The only threat to their safety is from pissed off travelers.

“...risk their own safety daily...”

Bullcrap.

“Because of their bravery...”

Double bullcrap. Treating like-abiding travelling citizens like prison inmates sure as hell isn’t “brave.”

I’m sure the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),is getting the word out to the TSA workers on how to protect themselves,oh,wait,the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)is an agency represented by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE),guess they could enter “ebola” into the DHS website search,might turn up something?

When TSA was first created it was my understanding they would not be unionized. Kind of like when the 1986 amnesty bill was passed it was with the understanding that the border would be closed off. Democrats make promises and break them with impunity while the Republicans back off and do nothing...time and time again. If the Republicans don’t get a spine real soon we can kiss the Republic goodbye.

yeah but they’ll still only use the one pair of gloves all day...

Imagine what could be lurking on the gloves that handle your child...

Sounds like the AFGE boys are hoping to get the TSA guys to fondle their “junk”.

You wouldn't get fired for not doing your job but I bet that would get you fired.

Jim Traficant was as crooked as they come but he didn't go to jail until he spoke out against Clinton from the floor of the House.

We also need to thank the TSA for banging two sticks together every morning to keep the elephants and tigers away from the airports.
