“PATCO on steroids”: Trump’s TSA union busting sparks calls for a general strike

On Friday, the Trump administration took the largest violation step in the union in American history when it canceled the collective negotiation rights of tens of thousands of Transportation Security Department (TSA) Workers responsible for examining nearly three million passengers fly in the United States every day.
In a press release submitted by the Minister of Internal Security (DHS), Christie Nom, Previously the most famous for implementing the 14 -month cricket gameThe agency said, “Eliminating collective bargaining removes bureaucratic obstacles that will enhance the lightness of movement in the workforce, enhance productivity and flexibility, with innovation as well“
With Elon Musk pushing hundreds of thousands of federal civilian employees without the due legal procedures and agencies created in Congress such as the United States Agency for International Development, this recent illegal measure in the Ministry of National Security represents an escalation in the unification of the authoritarian power of Trump/Moses. There can be no authority held by any collective interest that may in any way be limited to the unified executive authority. And not only the unions formed by workers through teamwork targeted by Trump/Musk. Looking at the last Trump Executive orders target Lawyers with penalties who represented Trump’s opponents.
“I hope we learn Patco lesson. It was completely within our ability to rush alongside air traffic monitors and imagine if we did it in 1981 and what is a different world we will get today.”
Dr. Evert Kelly is a president The American Federation of Government Employees This represents approximately 800,000 federal workers in dozens of basic jobs headlines from the Prison Office to the Administration of Old Warriors Affairs, which is interested in millions of old warriors.
“Today, Minister Nayyoud and the Trump administration violated the right of national Americans to join the Union in an unjustified attack,” Kelly said in a statement. “47,000 transport security officers appear in more than 400 airports across the country every day to ensure that our sky is safe for air travel. Many of them are the veterans who moved from serving their country in the armed forces to wearing a second uniform that protects the homeland and ensuring another terrorist attack, such as September 11, which did not happen again.
Sarah Nelson, President The CWA Association, which represents 55,000, told 20 airlines, a salon in an interview on Saturday that a unilateral move was “Patco on doping”, indicating the launch of President Reagan’s collective 11,000 amazing air traffic monitors.
The President of the Federation has suggested that the ongoing attack by Trump/the military council caught the federal union civil service should push the national public strike.
Patco was installed by Reagan, a former head of the union, the American labor movement of a generation with the federation’s density decreased from 20 percent to ten percent. It was up to 35 percent in the fifties. Not surprisingly, we can say the design, American worker WageS And benefits such as All pensions are all The concentration of wealth and inequality increased beyond what was seen during the age of sect in America.
At the same timeand Nelson warns that the Nayyem Union endangers the nation’s air travel security at risk, while increasing the possibility of longer lines for passengers, as TSA returns to the high rotation rate that he saw before the emergence of mass bargaining Top wages settled These basic workforce.
First of all, this sends a message to the rest of the American companies that do not concern contracts-that you can only tear them. Nelson told Salon: “This will be an echo that everyone feel … everything about authoritarian control and nothing less. “
Nelson continued. “Basically, let’s remember what TSA is doing and from where it comes.” Nelson said: “When we have formed TSA and we issued the federal workforce that not only binds TSA to all other intelligence agencies to be able to take appropriate intelligence to be able to search for real threats and be able to mitigate this and that was really really important.”
Nelson said: “Improved security once TSA is formed.” “When we fought in order to be able to obtain the rights to bargaining for transport security officers in TSA, security improvement again because you had a union, and if people saw something that was not true, they could raise their hands and be clear and these issues will be taken seriously without fear of revenge against doing so.”
Nelson said she is enthusiastic about the response she gets from their colleagues from work leaders about standing at the level of Trump’s attack and musk on federal civil service unions.
“I hope to learn Patco’s lesson. It was within our ability to rush alongside air traffic monitors and imagine if we did it in 1981 and what is a different world we will get today. But this is greater than that and people realize it.” “What we must understand is that the responsible people, and the people who do this do this to make the federal workforce miserable, to make us all miserable and frustrated and reduce our own space to inspire scarcity and competition between workers so that we do not start together and stop them.”
Nelson continued. “This is the same purpose. This is not the normal consideration of how to run a successful workplace – it is the opposite of what the intention is here. Once you understand that it becomes much easier to understand the reason for the presence of very few options but to join and organize a general blow to an end to everyone.
