He's right. TSA workers should not be in a labor union.

God bless Demint. Too bad his intelligence courage and determination
are
so rare in Washington.

South Carolina is ready when you are.... maybe you can get a tour of
the Appalachian Trail.... if you are strong enough on family
values.....

Demint is a raving ****ing lunatic. It's no surprise that The Idiot
Jim would be among his fans. He's the asshole who's been blocking
Obama's nomination for TSA, based on his fear of TSA going union.

Demint, ready to **** the country so he can tell people he's as smart
as them Jews when it comes to savin' money.


This goes beyond simply saving money. The TSA changed their SOP in a
matter of hours last week, If there was a union around they might have
had to renegotiate a contract or they would have a "work slowdown"
(although that is an ambiguous less term when you are talking about a
government employee).
As I said, if that was all this was all about, they can fix it with a
one line entry on some piece of legislation that they are voting on.
Just say there will be no unions in TSA screeners, in the appropriate
federal statute.


Completely untrue and diengenous tripe. You and Demint are so terrified of
unions that you would rather leave the general population at risk. What
heros.

a couple days ago Thunder said there was no connection between not
having a TSA director and the attempted bombing. You folks have to get
your story together.

... and how will having a union make us safer?

When you look at the GSA benefits and salary I still don't understand
why we need the extra bureaucracy of a union in there gumming up the
works. These people make 130% of the private industry wage and have
the same benefit package as Harry Reid.


I and Thunder don't coordinate our posts.

So, it would be a bit more expensive. At least they would have some voice.
Is this a reason to hold up the security of the nation? Are you telling me
that we should not have a person at the top coordinating functions, dealing
with Congress, etc.? Or, is Demint just interested in playing politics?
Occam's Razor.
