On a teleconference today at 3:45 EST, the administrator for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), John Pistole, will announce a framework allowing Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) to vote on union representation.
According to a press release from TSA, the framework is “for the purposes of engaging in limited, clearly defined collective bargaining at the national level only on non-security employment issues. If a union is chosen, each security officer will retain the right to choose whether or not to join the union.”
Check out Rich Cooper’s analysis on what this means for TSA and homeland security.
