Unions unfazed by TSA nominee’s punt on collective bargaining – Government Executive
During his confirmation hearing on Thursday, President Obama’s nominee to head the Transportation Security Administration largely punted on the issue of collective bargaining rights. Nevertheless, federal employee unions said TSA needs a permanent leader and John Pistole should be confirmed.
When asked whether he supported collective bargaining rights, Pistole said he would review the matter and consult Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, who ultimately would make a recommendation to Obama.
