TSA Unions

Season I'm Malcolm altered WRQ and use our tour of veterans for a begins now. At six -- but you are. What got Boston remember the.

President 787. Billion dollar stimulus package that was one of turn around the economy -- emphasizes the president has not. See the questions at a time more than 389000. As being sent to a new York College. This study that combined use of malt liquor and marijuana and young adults and you were.

An error and error and it. Call your hair stuff they had left. Connect up the rubbish -- created or saved the total of two -- who is floral must Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid blasted Republicans for blocking the nomination to barrel so others to have the transportation security administration for south Carolina Republican Jim -- makes no apologies. He's demanding assurances this others does not intend to let TSA workers unionize small and so on to a 666. Years six years there's absolutely no good reason. To submit security -- collective bargaining with the union Baldelli in the presidential campaign Barack Obama wrote the union that keeping TSO's collective bargaining rights would be a priority. Unions gave him valuable support in the election it's all about politics of payback to begin broadcasting. From a new Mellon's world headquarters builder trailer you.

Storm. Good morning JS stuff cold as you know watched. Out there today again which is still beat yeah that's -- I was looking for find you have a language form if cooks thank you Thomas in France. Doing here is John good thing you know. Brought a bunch listeners over on any conservative torso that should be an exciting time for him in those listeners who were gone and or resources are left here to enjoy winter. I'll be. I don't know what cooks he has planned you have some co host coming the next week remind my own Iraq. When I mean Nelson really obvious BM to three days while and then -- and failed to live itself so that'll be fun I'm welcome Ford of that. Anyway -- The that'd be the she should political maneuvering. To see who takes the blame. For these screw up that allowed a guy who had every kind of billboard on his T -- You know saying -- to me blocked me from going into the US revoke my visa every red flag you can imagine. Was right there are shining off of the the handsome face of the young. I I have a new name form. -- ensured this with you what do you what do you -- what's the best -- is her underpants for you BV visas -- we call. What you recall underwear slang. -- I like dvd bomber -- phrase for the sky the BB quickie. The analysts are -- the old firm. -- just got a -- your -- if you don't use your conscious mind the stuff you come up with his great. If -- C is not thinking and what comes out of his mouth is magical. Fruit of the bomb. Is great there's a headline in Britain by Bilko exceed the -- bomber is not quite as pithy but is is. Easier to use. Anyway this kid anybody could've figured out that he should have been on an airplane so who's gonna take the rap for this.

All kinds of sub plots develop what other subplot since. That could have won the Republican senator Jim dement. Had blocked the nominee to head the TSA. Why because the Democrats want to unionize its. The TSA. It's always. About unions. For. Democrats why because they don't exist. Without selling us out to unions. Democrats are the most destructive force in the country today. And that's because of their partnership with the unions. That may sound like dramatic hyperbole may sound shocking when I tell you that. It is not hyperbolic it is not an exaggeration. We have become completely. Dysfunctional. As a country because Democrats have sold us out to unions it has ruined education. In his ruined our finances because of these ridiculous to retirements at the unions have. We Ari Huey is it our cities and towns can't make ends meet. Because of financial burdens of paying people too much money. To work and to be retired. And Democrats won't fix it. Because they're afraid of scoring around with their partnership with unions and now here it is here it is in national security. September 11 was supposed to change everything September 11 were supposed to -- the event that would break through and make America functional. And here we are again with that the Republicans forced to hold up the appointment of the head of that the TSA. Because. The Democrats. Want to make them union workers now I knew bad backs 67 years ago when they created this agency. Every member used to be contract workers. Who did the security at the airports. They were private contractors. After September 11 we decided oh no we have to have federal employees do this so we can control them better right. So we can control them better. We need uniform standards we need them to be government employees -- you can fire them if they can't do their jobs properly. But what is that a setup for of course is the next step is the old Democrats want to unionize them why. Because that's what drives all policy for Democrats why do you think they want universal health care they want universal health care. So they can have tens of millions of new government workers. Who they will be able to bribe to vote for Democrats. That's the only way they get elected. And in the TSA is the same situation do you want those people. Who were standing behind. The conveyor belt. Course standing behind the machine that's inspecting your luggage. You want them to have collective bargaining rights so they can be like all the other unions who put safety second who -- quality work third. Who put the best interest of the nation for. You want them to be like all of them so they can wind their own pockets first. 61726668. Succeed because that's what Democrats are about. Never vote for Democrat again if you care about the best interest in this country because when you're voting for Democrat. You were selling. The country out. To collective bargaining rights. For everybody. So instead of having their job because they do a better than anyone else. They can have their job because of their political connections that's our society works do you want to TSA guys. Charged with rooting out terrorists. You want them any union. So they can. So they can use their leverage. To keep their job when they don't deserve it. So they can use their leverage. To make the decisions. That an elected official should make. Or bureaucrat should be able to make hoot whoo it's our great every bureaucrats make decisions but at least somehow they're connected to the electoral process. What unions are designed to do is take the power away from the people. So that we don't get to control our society anymore 61726660. Succeed Jim your NW RKO.

Tom is on -- good morning good morning Joe -- has put this site and nice right now as a Republican. Teixeira secret with some folks in Washington. Militant Islam is fighting to win. It's not fighting to -- and it has no interest. In negotiating any -- what this. Debate. Is that good at either of these facts. On ever doubted what I should get.

While millions -- to bring it around to the conversation what dawns on them in Washington is political opportunity. So everybody scrambling Republicans are doing this to everybody scrambling to figure out how they turn this thing to their advantage. And I this is our system works now because we are not engaged enough as voters --

Well it is see all ourselves. Osama bin Laden and his crew is setting up -- dreaming up these preparations. He doesn't have to worry about unions -- it doesn't have to worry about balancing budgets. All he has to worry about is winning and that's what he's focused. And.

And it's a wonderful point Jenna and I thank you for making it because there is a contrast. You have a bunch of ruthless ideological. People. Who were sitting in there in their caves. Figuring out how to dismantle the modern world and by the way the modern world we depend on has put together with wires and batteries and an end. They you know the most abstract vulnerable sorts of infrastructure. Airplanes. Modern life depends on airplanes being safe. And who Debra Democrats want to unionize safety unions. Corrupt everything Jimmy you're on WRQ good morning.

It's I -- Jim but talk like take issue would you made that blanket statement it's 6 AM -- union to setup to destroy America. -- you know it in into unions it was a setup to take up power away from the people you means what setup to give power to the people that.

Take away I didn't say that's why they were set up that's what they do and that's why Democrat correct. -- law denies that's not to -- to look different and we'll tell me why how unions make us a stronger rather than --

Giving example the -- shall work is that good but they were quiet by nature. Hold towel and in downtown bought -- when they were unionized. They -- let go all throughout for a lower paying. Apple neighboring states -- a -- because -- cell want to maximize profit they didn't wanna pay people would be.

you'll -- how does how does is that relevant to our conversation why.

What -- issue you made this statement the unions occurred destroying America you all unions are not talking about this if you wanna disable maybe you could see eight.

They'd be that the TSA should not be unionized or maybe get a good point.

But instead all the unions.

So what I'm saying is that the -- relationship between Democrats and unions. Is destroying the country because Democrats make policy based on what unions want unions why don't want what's best for the country they want what's best for themselves and aren't well look there may be an exception somewhere to be the example you're bringing up is not true because. Those workers were not unionized. And that's why they were that the -- hotel had the ability let them go -- a -- tells prerogative in my mind.

Collective bargaining would standardize. Things across the country make it much less flexible much harder for the agency to adapt. To changing threats around the world.

anyone who when push comes to shove. I don't think Americans want unions. Standing between the decision maker and the worker. For it deciding how to bring down al-Qaeda. We don't -- collective bargaining making the decision. About whether that terrorists is gonna be stranger not. And that's the danger of putting more bureaucracy and the TSA so senator -- you just heard. Is doing something heroic it seems to me and that is trying to stop that the new appointee. As the director of the TSA to take the position because Barack Obama sold out today union made a commitment to unionize TSA during the campaign.

The union representing 12000 TSO system -- argument is rubbish. Pointing out that employees of the border patrol immigration and customs enforcement the federal protective service and others all have full union representation.

No no one talked about union membership on the cops. And the firefighters went up the stairs at 9/11 that the world trade towers.

That's a lot of manipulative crap I can't believe anybody would have the gall to say what he just said. There was a story on the front page of the Boston Globe on Saturday about the deal between the Boston. The Boston fire department. Lost one of its firefighters a year ago and a crash -- remember this lieutenant Kevin Kelly. A 52 year old. Died instantly when the runaway truck he was in crashed into an apartment building in mission hill on January ninth last year -- remember that it talk.

Almost a full. You listen good beginning of the story for Saturday almost one year after a Boston fire truck found to have faulty brakes crashed. Killing a lieutenant. The Boston firefighters' union has agreed to allow the city to hire licensed mechanics. To maintain fire trucks instead of unlicensed. Firefighters. They had to pay a bribe. To the Boston firefighters. They had a bribe them. To get them to allow this city -- real much can acts. To maintain the fire trucks they claim to care about the guy who they lost but it took a year to talk a bribe. To get the firefighters in Boston -- agreed to allow real mechanics to maintain the trucks. You wanna do that to our national security you wanna do that to the TSA the guys who were there at the airports. You want them to have the power. To make everything horse so they can line their pockets so they can collect their bribes from their democratic partners we have to stop electing Democrats. Because Democrats are in bed with the unions and we have to stop we have to stop electing them immediately. Because they have destroyed education. They have destroyed -- the police and fire they have destroyed the finances of our cities and towns because of these cozy deals. The Democrats have with the unions and now it's senator Jim -- is trying to stop the TSA. -- from unionizing he's trying to stop the special deal. -- Barack Obama made with the union at the -- with the made with the TSA to help them unionize its.

That's what we've got to stop and those are the heroes Jeff you're on WRQ good morning -- off -- here.

I just like intelligence not to go to -- to -- policy against a union only -- capitalist and free as you can only. We -- that those were all the people can get or. So it was more than just called them up. -- Oldies he was proud to bond and to get into the agreement for nine years what -- job he wanted it the only reason. What you can into the and and until that's that's your job to meet union. Schedule in nine years immediately union -- to be the best -- old -- could be -- and 93 in the union can.

He waited nine years to be taking Kara. Actually shorten up -- there -- no question about it that's how works thank you Jeff. Okay go ahead.

No one talked about union membership on the cops. And the firefighters went up the stairs at 9/11 that the world trade towers. No one talks about our two officers to union members.

That kind of manipulative demagoguery should make you wanna puke. That's disgusting. That he of course there are great men. Great workers. In unions but the unions themselves are corrupting influences. And they are deal with the Democratic Party is destroying the nation -- good morning your NW RKO.

Oh wait slow attributed bureaucracy but a culture that is it was a contract dispute I believe in the -- two way radios to push them that they were exposed they have dome here in New York. -- Prevented them from Coleman can expect like they should have been able to do.

Bob I don't know I I know they had the trouble with there's been in this been a big from across the country where. There's been. The you know the fire radios don't work -- talk to the police and stuff like that. I never heard of that had to do with the unions they weren't surprised me because the unions are at the forefront. Of scoring up most of what doesn't work in this nation and now they wanna do it to airline security you watch. A union guy standing there deciding who gets on a plane. Presidential campaign Barack Obama -- the union that you can TSO's collective bargaining rights would be a priority it's all about how. Payback for the at a recent deal. Immunization. Security. Well senator. Or call for -- original provocative talk Boston's talks vision AM six A -- you all are okay.

It's somewhere in America. Tension has just suffered a heart --

Here you see tomorrow night's when he -- coach you've gone out you got your -- amateur -- You're gonna be here tell us here tomorrow night tomorrow. Could you are night Saturday good job cuts much better on drinking holidays. To be or make -- money. And -- keeping yourself safe are we're talking about the unionization of transportation. Safety administration workers. Do you want those TS those as they called on transportation safety officers. -- stand there they're 50000. Of them. They screen they inspect they ask questions their job is to make us safe there if you think back. To 2006. You remember there was a plot revealed. To blow up airplanes with liquid explosives. Within hours the TSA adjusted wrapped up new security policies. Change policies on carry on liquids all of a sudden they started throwing away your water and you're shampoo and your -- and remember that. That was done instantaneously. Now think about how unions. Generally screw up the works think about this story I was talking about the was front page in the Boston Globe on Saturday perhaps you missed it. It took a full year and it took a bribe. To get the unions to agree. To correct this situation that had resulted perhaps in the death of one of their members sit in a Boston firefighter a year ago. It took a purity and of course you remember the Sid did that the the situation with two firefighters who were found to have substances in their bloodstream. After they died in a fire and how we're still in limbo in the city of Boston over whether to have mandatory drug testing. -- unions are not in the business of fighting for what is best policy. There in the business of protecting their cash flow. This is what's made our educational system fall apart in this country. It's what ruined a bunch of stuff in our society because Democrats. Are married unions Democrats find their political power. In their partnership with the unions and as a result Democrats pursue bad policy in virtually every policy realm. Here is another one they're trying to screw up they want to unionize the TSA. Deal like that idea senator Jim dement is fighting it this is now becoming a political issue. Because Democrats want to shift the blame for the screw ups that happened last week. With the dvd bomber. Or the fruit of the moment as cooks he calls them or I got an email from. DR Tucker calls in the -- we're looking for the best name for the underwear bomber. 6172 that's just a subplot 6172666860. Do you want. Those workers to be unionized or should they be. Managed as effectively as possible which means you don't want a third party Leach involved. When. People safety is involved rich you're on WRKO Todd fiber good morning.

Hi good morning tried I can tell you passionate about this one. And I just want to preface my remarks by -- sign me up for port TSA. Check point. -- Specter -- never. Also. With regard to union. You're night agree. I keep -- dog named three units for you to -- government unions that protect government workers. Eat -- and ask a standard totally useless those clowns. They only come out at election time. Well we can't tell seeing -- right.

So can see any problems for the TSA affair were to be unionized to somebody -- store.

If if -- let's say -- say SE IU all. Where where the union to grab TSK I would keep them -- create some doubt on that because. They're shaking -- beer beer major shakedown operation. That -- you but if you had a responsible unique in the air. Like -- The Teamsters. That Dell might work I mean this thing here is what we can't -- guy you're on the front line so this well let's. -- didn't the next line. On the war on terror is it what what the TSA should do is change your hiring standards get rid of a lot of so much that don't have any job description. We have supervisors. Dvi unique.

Trouble with a being government they announced its guard who would you work every for the government took over the screen and.

Not actually know I would -- one year after. I don't --

That's part of the prominent on the governor government do the government screws up everything that's what government does thank you rich for the call 617266. 6868. Frank your next NW RQL.

Org -- a wire goods. -- in the absence of about com Lowe who wish is our hope that I wouldn't be resuscitated. It doesn't happen to yesterday's sorry I didn't need resuscitation. But this thing is really got me angry what I'm really got me what's got you. The idea that we're going to have a union are even a plot of us you know it don't. Yeah the assumption of development is actually the latest edition -- for the union to exists. And that's what the real problem and let the systemic problem we have -- restaurant.

Of the systemic problem is that Democrats fight to get unions what they want all the timing unions aren't policy organizations. Their blood pocket lining organizations they're like any other business they want more from themselves.

So the first I'm sorry. And the first thing that happens is that government -- the language rolling. So that ever ever it enabled the union to get signals under the champs. And once that happens you're really got some problems I'm gonna give you -- scenario you. You're early you said that those 50000 screeners there nationwide. Now if this goes into effect as you -- nonsense. The surest signal believe they'll make into a union law or rule. That they had to be a Dunkin' Donuts within five miles. They'll have to take actually copied breaks and to anyone want.

I don't think actually it's necessary they'll only make rules that are necessary that one kind of falls all by itself I -- for the Starbucks you would you want an upgrade. Are your downgrade from Dunkin' Donuts whichever you think it is -- era WRKO hey there Robert Thomas off in France.

Any -- English stuff I think I'm not quite union. Construction work. And guess what it. Where and when you're talking like you make blanket statement. Like you've worked out box them out fire department. This in my opinion there the most abusive.

The unions. Around -- to -- the public --

the most abusive. But. Little light on the construction worker went on another public sector that we the company did we were gonna follow up the fight for bid and.

We believe we have been what -- we -- we made competitive. -- we have to go to -- ahead. We can't you just don't get there we do we -- total. I take exception.

get our unions. All of music that you are true.

Listen there are a lot out there there are laws there to protect your unions their laws there that say. You can't do jobs if the government's building a building they have to hire union guys and pay you guys your premium. -- there that say he metaphor and irony union guys I got out we gotta pay the nonunion guys are your rates.

I like to get total what's important problem we're paying unskilled people. To ensure that it would great if you -- the winner of the -- is that the only way to build properly. It's good to coordinate more beautiful than any -- I don't have already got seven -- eight include how what's what's more I'll -- again. People competitive -- and Arnold.

Well that's exactly what I -- a new way to do it right general we see now not only in my community -- Robert -- make.

I'm glad you're called I glad I'm glad you're making the argument you make him but I wanna be able to discuss it with you. I don't know I want competitive rates that names. That means there shouldn't be a law that says I have to hire Robert and pay him 35 dollars an hour when there's a guy stand right in front of me you'll do the same work --

Clinton meanwhile the guy who aren't very because -- got to ensure that that particular work -- of the premiership he is certified. Edwards -- the job quality we need. I ate at the moment well I'm not taken station somebody have to street will probably hadn't had you ever again. Then all of a sudden I'm gonna you know I got nearly enough anyway just I don't know if that's what I know -- don't --

I don't I understand where you're shooting -- Robert and it's a nice idea to have people -- let me give you contrasting. Certification program. Hairdressers all have to be trained they have to go to hairdressing school they have to get their certificate before they're allowed to go into the -- cut your hair there's no. A commensurate. Requirement that a certain reunion way should be paid that forces us to not be able to go to super cuts are getting aircraft for fifteen box. The -- some people go pay a hundred bucks for haircut. Some people do that they do it in a free market. There's nothing about the certification process to make you'll go to electrician. Or -- good plumber org or good whatever you are. There's nothing that requires that we also. -- the pace scale. And that's where the corruption comes sent. 6172666860. I don't think we want to -- the TSA. I didn't want the guys who were in charge of airport security. To be able to say it wants. There -- be able to say their workers in ten minutes we're gonna start doing this because that's what's safety requires. And you know what a union would no no you can't do not we already -- two hours today we got we are guaranteed break. It's sickening. What unions do to productivity it's sickening how they've corrupted our political process it's sickening. The partnership between the Democratic Party in unions and how it is is dismantling. The functionality. Of our capitalistic society Brian you're next NW RQ -- here Tom is off today.

Can't wait somebody. Just before -- start without what Robert said -- I'm actually had to carry -- certified I think you'll bar exam and passed it yeah. But the thing is there's all different -- arms around speak. Some painted some -- attorneys are well other city attorney well how does that managed to happen -- early -- what Robert Bennett.

Well it's it's a good point I mean it did the two things are not connect I have said Robert thinks they're connected. He thinks in order to have qualified. Workers putting up buildings that you need to have a fixed rate. But obviously we can think of a thousand examples you just -- a good one of where that's not the case in other realms.

Exactly Hastert. And the question I have we always hear that not what happened no compromise the safety of the American public bubble bubble -- yet another spirit. They said they set -- the trial -- concerning -- the yes so. You know PSA employees yup and it and the thing is -- unions get their bargaining power. It didn't bargaining power by being able go lot of strike. Right and the sort of thing is how. On -- could it. -- beat -- at 8 PM all the PS those people go on strike. And basically shut down and it's hard is that station -- country help security.

Well that's a wonderful point and thank you for the call Brian especially since. There's a story today which I've misplaced our put it but about the guys who is that the and they clean the planes got -- they they they're threatening due out on strike so if you here's a perfect example or -- bring it up do we want the power. To go out on strike to be in the hands of the transportation safety administration workers the TS -- lose. Transportation safety officers 50000 of them. -- insure that people get properly -- going on the planes. The Democrats of course want to unionize the power of unions unfortunately doesn't just come. As Brian said from the power strike anymore because they've corrupted our political process. Unions are married. To the Democrats the Democratic Party has married the unions. So that. Policy decisions are made not in the --

Interest of the nation but there -- in the best interest of the Democratic Party and the ability of the unions give more money flowing into their coffers for 61726666. -- it's Thomas -- Well talk about six AB WRKO collective bargaining -- standardized. Things across the kind. Make it much less flexible much harder for the agency to adapt.

around. Harder for instance to react to something like that Christmas Day bombing attempt more than 2006. Plot to blow up airplanes -- liquid explosives.

The locals also likes no one else can do. Shoes Boston's talk station -- executive.

You don't want your stereo hi ladies it's -- from the Harry -- showing I have great news for you for only a limited time show.
