They could fix this with one line in some bill renaming a post office
somewhere.


Whether any group of employees needs a union is a decision that should
be left to the employees.

There was a fuss here by the mindless righties that Obama had not yet
named a TSA director. The usual morons participated. Well, the fault
lies with the senator from South Carolina.

It is still stuck in committee. If they wanted to they could bring it
to a vote tomorrow.

I am not sure "union" and Federal government really go together. There
used to be a law.

Looks like someone's spoofing Harry again.

This imposter fails to mention it took the Obama administration more
than eight months to nominate anyone to lead the Transportation
Security Administration and the Customs and Border Protection agency.



Well, DeMint has blocked it for four/five months, but it sure is easy to
blame Obama isn't it.

Think back.... mid-1800... there was this big war... between the North
and the South... The Unio... vs. the Rebs... come on, you're probably
old enough to remember.



Lincoln was far too generous to the defeated south. I've always thought
he should have been much, much harsher to those known to have been
involved in planning and executing the insurrection/secession and those
who profited in any way from slavery *and* their families. Any and all
property any of them owned should have been taken away and divided up
amongst the families of the former slaves. All the
insurrectionsts/secessionists should have been executed, excluding the
non-officers in the southern military forces.


Hell, I think Lincoln was such a moron, someone should have shot him.

hey nom, does it turn you on to know i am sitting her naked as i read
your posts/

Demint is a raving ****ing lunatic. It's no surprise that The Idiot

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

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.

Amen.

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.
