TSA Handout

by | Feb 25, 2011 | Labor Relations Ink

Big Labor was just handed another 40,000 or so public employees when Transportation Security Administration head John Pistole agreed to grant partial collective bargaining rights to TSA employees. Until this decision, the TSA agents could unionize, but had no bargaining rights. Only 12,000 had joined the ranks of AFGE to date, but more agents will begin voting in March. AFGE president John Gage remarked at a press conference that the TSA ranks 240 out of 244 federal agencies on morale. Chances are good that a majority of them will opt for representation by the union.
