Just wonderful - another Union

From CNS News:
Feds to Let Airport Screeners Gain Union Rights
The government will grant collective bargaining rights to the nation's 40,000 airport screeners, the head of the largest federal workers union said Friday.

John Gage, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, told The Associated Press he was informed of the decision at a meeting with John Pistole, head of the Transportation Security Administration.

TSA workers have tried for nearly a decade to win the same union protections as other federal employees, but Republican opponents have balked over worries that union demands could jeopardize national security or slow response times in a crisis.
Emphasis mine -- in my world, you hold on to your job by doing your job well and keeping up with current technology and methods. You advance by becoming more valuable to your employer by making your employer more money. You don't treat job stability as a given, as an entitlement. You are signing up to deliver a specific level of work and you should be expected to perform an exceptional job. Unions had their place but no longer. They do not benefit the working man and they do not benefit their employers. Posted by DaveH at February 5, 2011 7:07 PM
