Because most, if not all, unions are corrupt and morally bankrupt. The TSA is a perfect example.
After PROMISING it would not unionize if allowed to form, and THEN after being allowed to form with this promise then subsequently promising pay would not be linked to performance if it did unionize, then AFTER unionizing saying it was ridiculous to think pay could not be linked to performance (2 broken promises back-to-back), this is what taxpayers are getting for their hundreds of millions of dollars...
An internal investigation of the Transportation Security Administration revealed security failures at dozens of the nation’s busiest airports, where undercover investigators were able to smuggle mock explosives or banned weapons through checkpoints in 95 percent of trials, ABC News has learned.
The series of tests were conducted by Homeland Security Red Teams who pose as passengers, setting out to beat the system.
According to officials briefed on the results of a recent Homeland Security Inspector General’s report, TSA agents failed 67 out of 70 tests, with Red Team members repeatedly able to get potential weapons through checkpoints.
What comes next is predictable...demands for more pay in order to improve performance results.
It's extortion.
Unions are reviled nationwide for what they have become. Public unions fleece the taxpayers, and private unions fleece their members.
If you have been lamenting the demise of unions, public support for them, and their increasing ineffectiveness + inability to truly benefit their members, now you know why (if you didn't already).
They have become indefensible and it's time to hold ALL of them accountable. The TSA is a perfect example of why this is true.
