Department of Homeland Security abruptly ends collective bargaining with more than 45,000 TSA workers.
-
On Friday the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ended collective bargaining with Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees. DHS put out a statement, “This action will ensure Americans will have a more effective and modernized workforces across the nation’s transportation networks.” This action is illegal. The National Labor Relations act (1935) specifically protects the ability to bargain collectively.
The DHS in coordination with the Federal Government seem to be trying to end unions and union protections.https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/rights-we-protect/the-law/employees/collective-bargaining-rights
