Screeners seeking bargaining rights

[dArKeR]

Union leaders are pushing the Bush administration to allow some 50,000 federal airport baggage and passenger screeners the right to collective bargaining under union representation, saying they’ll take their case to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary.

THE PUSH FOR collective-bargaining rights comes as the Transportation Security Administration has cut some 6,000 screener jobs at airports nationwide in an effort to get its budget under control, and near the one-year anniversary of the deadline to have a federal screener workforce in place.
Ironically, the federal jobs themselves, created by congressional mandate in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, could be in jeopardy. In November 2004, owing to federal legislation, airports will have the right to choose whether they want to keep the federalized screener workforce or return to private hiring.
