TSA Airport Screeners Vote to Join Union
The American Federation of Government Employees said Thursday it has won the right to represent more than 40,000 airport-security screeners employed by the federal government, months after the Obama administration cleared the way for the workers to organize.
The screeners, who work for the Transportation Security Administration, chose the AFGE in a runoff vote against the National Treasury Employees Union by a margin of 8,903 to 8,447 votes. The vote began May 23 and ended Tuesday. In a previous vote tallied in April, neither of the two unions received the majority needed to win.

Now, why was it that I refused to fly? :???:
Oh, yeah........... :hammer:

My local radio talk jock said we are truly headed for Armageddon, I believe he is right. And the government just keeps it foot floor on the gas over the cliff. The post office spend $115 Million Dollars EVERY TWO WEEKS on pensions alone. Now the TSA slugs have a union?

And I have to fly in August. :(

TSA knows that the people are gunning for their jobs. Unions are a way to hold onto power as long as possible.
Unions mean they are above many laws. Union violence often goes unpunished.
Unions mean they will never have to reform or treat people with respect.
Unions make it nearly impossible to fire the worst offenders.
Unions give TSA the power to shut down airports across the nation on a whim, and spineless politicians will do nothing.
Unions make graft and corruption protected affairs.
Unions are the whip that will enslave America.

Hasn't this been tried by other unionized airport workers? How'd that work out for them?
(Yes, I know that instance wasn't one involving your stereotypical "spineless politician")

Reagan was first and foremost a statesman. Further he has a spine.
Obama will grovel before the union. Even though as govt employees, they cannot strike: not a one would be fired.
