Speech #1100021548

I strongly feel that Federal TSOs are the first people to care about safety in our airports. I would remind my colleagues that many Federal workers who are critical to our Nations security. such as Capitol Police. Border Patrol agents. Customs agents. and immigration enforcement officers are all allowed to collectively bargain while ably serving our Nations security interests. We are simply saying that TSOs should have the same rights and responsibilities as other Federal workers performing similar functions who also are allowed to collectively bargain but not to strike or disclose information that would somehow jeopardize national security. I would also like to point out that last fall. the United Nations International Labor Organization opined that TSOs should have the right to organize.
