She gives the Transportation Screening Officers at TSA some employee rights but not the right to collectively bargain. which most employees in the Department of Homeland Security. and throughout our Government has. Presumably. the contention is that the right to collective bargaining would interfere with the security responsibility of the agencies. but TSA in the underlying bill and under Senator MCCASKILLs amendment would have absolute authority to take whatever actions are needed to carry out its mission in an emergency without bargaining with any units. without even considering any collective bargaining agreement. The fact is that Federal security forces generally have the right to collectively bargain: Border Patrol agents. immigration officers. Customs. Federal Protective Services. and the U.S.
