Wow, I had no idea that Homeland Security was unionized!

Thanks for filling me in.

How did it get unionized? I thought a good part of the battle in the 2002 elections was over the issue of how democrats obstructed the creation of Homeland Security by insisting it be under union control.

What am I missing here?

How did it get unionized?

The individual agencies that were reorganized to make up Homeland Security are unionized. I can't speak for the other agencies that merged into it, but I know Customs, Immigration, and Agriculture have unions.

I think the union flap was primarily with TSA, since I believe they were created from scratch rather than reorganized from somewhere else. (Somebody correct me here, if I'm wrong.)
