The administration has to payback the unions for their support. Once in the door, the rules will gradually evolve until all aspects of compensation and work issues are covered.

I guess we can expect more problems at the airport as well as more disasters.

Who didn’t see this s*** coming. The Barry regime is all about unions. The U.S. taxpayers get screwed over again.

I seem to remember when they first formed TSA and one of the big sticking points was unionization. They finally had to pass it without the unionization; but, now with Obama, they will simply do what the Congress decided not to do, by regulation instead of legislation.

Wow. A government created socialist voting bloc with police powers.
I'm sure the founders would OK with that.
To: Second Amendment First
And when MUSLIM TERRORISTs finally decide to show up the TSA for the incompetent reactionaries they truly are by handing a full-scale disaster to them right on their doorstep, we can rest assured that TSA will be protected through the 'collective bargaining' process. The traveling public? Well, that's just another story entirely.
If George W. ever ended up in Hell, it will be for creating DHS and TSA.

No doubt these folks will be getting automatic cost of living increases... don't be surprised in 20 years when there's newly retired TSA employees entitled to 6-figure/year pensions + free health care benies.
It will happen unless Congress and hopefully a conservative president in 2013 pushes back.

I always like to tell the story about a TSA “agent” I was talking to 30 days after 9/11. Two weeks earlier she was a hair stylist. They are, for the most part, typical government workers. Maybe they can transfer a bunch of postal workers to the TSA.

the Republicans need to put an end to these Federal Employees unionizing.They have No need for a union they are already protected by the civil service system.
The Next thing the Dem’s will try to unionize will be the military.

Yep. But virtually all conservatives were OK with it at the time.

Well, as they said right at the beginning of this whole thing, “If we want to professionalize, we must Federalize!”
Anyone who, back then, didn’t see this kind of thing in the cards was truly born yesterday, and is doubtless beyond all redemption.
