Another Union Payback By Obama

Who cares about America’s security?  Definitely Barack Obama and his administration don’t care about our security.  John S. Pistole, the director of the Transportation Security Administration announced on Friday that a union would be allowed to bargain over working conditions on behalf of the nation’s 45,000 airport security officers.

Reaction from lawmakers came along predictable party lines, with Democrats, along with union leaders, praising Mr. Pistole’s, decision. Republican lawmakers condemned the move, suggesting that they would push ahead with efforts to legislatively terminate the collective bargaining rights.

“This will be President Obama’s biggest gift to organized labor,” Representative John L. Mica, Republican of Florida and chairman of the House Transportation Committee, said in a statement, adding that it was “all bad news for the traveler, the taxpayer and aviation security” because it would limit the flexibility of the agency, despite assurances from Mr. Pistole that it would not.

“The safety of the traveling public is our top priority, and we will not negotiate on security,” Mr. Pistole said in a statement. “But morale and employee engagement cannot be separated from achieving superior security.”

The agency has traditionally ranked low in surveys of federal workers that assess morale and job satisfaction, a ranking that Mr. Pistole hopes will improve if the workers are allowed to join a union that bargains on their behalf.

Obama will do whatever it takes to make the unions happy.  They contribute millions of dollars every year to the Democrats.  Our safety is of no concern to Obama or the Democrats.  The union money is.
