TSA getting set to unionize
2010-11-17
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.
And some stats from the end of the article:
  • Number of TSA employees eligible for unionization: 50,000
  • TSA budget for FY 2010: $7.8 billion
  • Estimated Union Dues TSA unionization will provide union bosses at $50 per month: $2,500,000 per month or $30,000,000 per year.
  • Number of Americans whose Fourth Amendment rights have allegedly been violated: Thousands and still counting.
  • NUMBER OF TERRORISTS CAUGHT BY THE TSA: 0
    Ok Republicans. De-fund this mess now. They are already a blatant violation of the 4th amendment and getting more and more powerful. How long before they get pushed onto train stations, then bus stations, then federal buildings, then your garage? DON'T TREAD ON ME
