There are many ways to improve air travel. Unionizing the TSA isn’t one of them.
Until recently, the Transportation Security Administration was operating under a very sensible policy: no collective bargaining. Why introduce the possibility of strikes and protracted negotiations to an agency in charge of ensuring the safety of millions of air passengers?
Now, however, TSA head John Pistole has announced that the government will engage in limited collective bargaining with the TSA if its employees vote to unionize.
