I\u2019ll get right to it. I\u2019m an airport screener. I hope I\u2019m not going to get fired for talking about this. The bill that\u2019s before the Senate now about giving us collective bargaining, they\u2019re twisting this bill to make it out like we\u2019re getting collective bargaining, and the bill actually just takes away dictatorial powers given to the TSA administrator. He has more power than any federal bureaucrat in the entire country.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Why do you want to unionize? <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Oh, my goodness.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: What reason do you want to unionize for?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: I don\u2019t want to unionize. I want to be a Title V federal employee. That\u2019s what the law does.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: But you\u2019re going to end up being a member of a union. This is Democrat Party payback to them. You understand that you are going to be a member of a union?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Absolutely.

It\u2019s not. It\u2019s about taking away the power from Kip Hawley. He can fire us at will.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, okay. It may be about that, but this is politics. This is playing politics with national security. Look, you\u2019re going to become a member of a union. You\u2019re going to be able to go on strike. Bin Laden\u2019s going to know when you\u2019re on strike. Bammo!
