Right?

I'm a big supporter of normal unions - but "unions" for government thugs feel different. We all know the police union only exists to keep cops away from consequences, I'm sure the airport security theater thugs were in a similar boat.

No government employee should have a union that helps them fight against the interests of the public they are (hypothetically) serving. It's nonsensical.

It keeps the incompetent around.

The TSA regularly has people get more handsy than they need to.
