Be a Facebook Friend of TSA Workers
For more than eight years, the 40,000 uniformed officers at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) have fought to win back the collective bargaining rights the Bush administration stole away from them.
You have the chance to join in their fight without even moving from your computer keyboard. AFGE member Lance Stewart, the creator of the Facebook page for TSA workers, just launched a drive to win 100,000 friends for the Transportation Security Officers (TSOs).
If a dog named Buddy can have a Facebook page with almost 125,000 members, I know we can also exceed 100,000 members in support of the TSO’s fight for justice….Let’s get the House of Labor behind this by having every labor supporter on Facebook join our page.
Be a friend. It would be a good way to answer back to Sen. Jim DeMint (D-S.C.) who irrationally claims that allowing TSA workers to join a union would threaten national security and allow terrorists easy opportunities to attack the United States.

This post was mentioned on Twitter by JustaDog: Union scamming hard to get TSA workers unionized so they can unjustly force workers to pay dues to union bosses. http://bit.ly/4qluM6...
uberVU get a frigging life! I can see how we had eight years of Bush with guys like you. TSA workers deserve the right to organize and bargain collectively just like most other workers!
The only injustice that TSA workers face is the fact that Bush took away their right to organize and bargain. No body is forcing them to pay dues, they do it because they realize without a union there will never be justice for them!
TSA will be an open shop which means that union membership WILL NOT be a condition of employment. No TSA Officer can or will be forced to pay any money to the union.
Membership is and will remain a voluntary decision. With that said, more than 12,000 TSA officers are currently members of AFGE even though they are legally prohibited from negotiating a legally binding contract with the agency. This is a powerful testament to both AFGE and the TSA officers themselves.
To the general public this should be a clear message that working conditions need to be addressed.
Collective Bargaining coupled with full workplace rights will enable these men and women to address workplace safety issues, ensure adequate training to effectively complete their mission and provide protection when they point out potential security breaches.
