The American Federation Government Employees - AFGE - is organizing the Transportation Security Officers (TSO's) of the Transportation Security Administration. They will soon have Collective Bargaining Rights under the Barack Obama administration. Kay Bailey Hutchison recently denounced their right to collective bargaining. Need I tell you more?
AFGE is requesting Union support and presence at IAH and Hobby Airports. Wear your Union colors. Signs name tags will be provided. Let's all stand up for the TSO's right to have a Union and to bargain collectively.
Date: December 15, 2009
Time: 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (11:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. most critical time)
Place: Hobby Airport - Baggage Claim Area
Date: December 17, 2009
Time: 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (11:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. most critical time)
Place: IAH - Terminal B - Baggage Claim Area
I have a large supply of luggage tags (that we will wear) and can be used on your luggage when you travel. I will have these available. If you would like a luggage tag before these dates, please come by the Harris County AFL-CIO Council and pick one up.
Your presence and support for the TSO's is very important. They need to know that there are other Union members that support them!
Thank you.

Secretary-Treasurer
