AFL-CIO - 815 16th Street NW
In the wake of September 11, 2001, the Congress created the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to protect airline passengers from future terrorist attacks. Unfortunately, one of the first acts of the Bush administrations TSA was to prohibit collective bargaining for 41,000 TSOs. Despite being denied the right to bargain collectively for the last eight years, over 12,000 TSOs have joined the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE).
