TSA Unionization: A $30 Million Annual Gift to Union Bosses

Another reward for union bosses; another slap in the face for Americans.

When we have an administration more concerned about rewarding its union cronies than the U.S. Constitution (see ObamaCare for reference), giving union bosses access to the wallets of TSOs was only a matter of time. Now, the Transportation Security Agency’s blue shirts who are doing Janet Napolitiano’s bidding frisking, groping, molesting and seemingly sexually assaulting the American public, are about to get license for further abuse—a union card.

In a significant victory for federal employee unions, the Federal Labor Relations Authority decided Friday that Transportation Security Administration staffers will be allowed to vote on union representation.

The decision clears the way for a campaign by the government’s two largest labor organizations, the American Federation of Government Employees and the National Treasury Employees Union, to represent some 50,000 transportation security officers.

It was bound to happen. Before it became an agency known as Fourth Amendment violators, due to its critical national security responsibilities, the TSA was created in 2001as a non-union agency As labor attorney Jay Sumner notes:

Great, now Barry has an army of union protected gropers who can never be fired. Barry’s incompetence is unprecedented.

The unionization of TSA was done by the democrat congress with no veto by Bush. Great sin against America there!

[G Larry]

Let’s start asking ourselves how we can reverse all of these Union gifts Obama has instituted.

I don’t have an answer, but the nation surely needs one!

Actually Bush bragged about federalizing them. Big mistake

The TSA should be defunded.

QUESTION::When we have an administration more concerned about rewarding its union cronies than the U.S. Constitution?

ANSWER: Never!

"Anyone with a “Behavior problem” has NO business in any Government position that affects the public."

So, what do we do about the Democrats in The House, Senate, Courts, etc.?

[KeyLargo]

Great, as a union they get to enshrine laziness, incompetence, and disdain for the dignity of the travelling public all the while complaining about terrible working conditions.

Really? I had forgotten about that. One more reason to not miss Bush.

Can you imagine Ronald Reagan allowing that to happen without a veto?? I can't.

Yep. He would no doubt use the "we were at war, I had to make compromises" line, for which we are supposed to somehow forgive Ramos and Compean and the Amnesty push, refusal to push for TWO additional Senators' votes to pass ANWR drilling, not going to war against Senate Dems on behalf of Miguel Estrada, and...getting a barf bag...

[realcleanguy]

The terrorists now are union represented? Only in America

“Great, as a union they get to enshrine laziness, incompetence, and disdain for the dignity of the travelling public all the while complaining about terrible working conditions.”

Government “Star” employees.

It appears to me that THIS is that Army Obama was talking about since 2007-8, and now here it is forming in front of our very eyes under the guise of National Security.

Seems to me sane people were compelled once upon a time to board a leakey old boat, and sail to a New World to escape such atrocities, and indignations commonly thrust upon their lives by the Monarchs, Despots, and Dictators that traditionally ruled the lands of their birth.

EXACTLY how it happened back then. GW Bush did not want TSA to be Federal Workers. He wanted private businesses to be contracted for these services. The DemoCraps were adamant about them being Federal employees and GW eventually caved in

This why we are stuck today with these soon_to_be unionized jackasses
