Lays Out Plans For Negotiations On Local Washington, DC Radio
Program
Officials of AFGE laid out their negotiation strategy for TSO's
on the "Inside Government" radio program, which airs on AM1500
WFED in Washington, DC. The union is preparing to negotiate a
contract for Transportation Security Officers (TSOs). The show,
which originally aired on Friday, July 1, is now available on
demand.
AFGE National President John Gage discussed the union's historic
win in the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) union
election and the next steps in negotiating a contract for TSOs.
Gage also addressed the most important issues for TSOs including
better workplace conditions and eliminating the "Performance
Accountability and Standards System pay-for-performance model."
Also on the podcast, AFGE TSA Local 777 President Ricky McCoy
discussed the impact of AFGE's TSA election win on TSOs in Illinois
and Wisconsin. McCoy said bringing the nearly 2,200 federal TSA
employees under a collective bargaining agreement sends a strong
message to state legislators particularly in Wisconsin. The
legislature there has passed laws limiting the poser of the
state's employee unions. McCoy said the message is that
legislators cannot go after the state employee unions and then move
up to the federal level. McCoy says the message to the Wisconsin
state legislature is is "we're going to come at you as a whole to
let you know we're all in this together."
