This system has great checks and balances with binding arbitration and a "no strike" clause. It causes both sides to come to the table and to make meaningful concessions. We have done so in Bettendorf quite successfully. That is all were asking for with this legislationto give public safety officers elsewhere this kind of opportunity. Many of our Federal workers. such as Capitol Police. Border Patrol agents. Customs agents. immigration enforcement officers. have the right of collective bargaining. It helps them to serve our Nations security interests. Again. it is time that we provide this now to the 21 States where our public safety people are not allowed to bargain collectively.
