Steve Sweeney Calls Out Homeland Security For Breaking Collective Bargaining Agreement

After the Department of Homeland Security announced Friday that it is terminating the collective bargaining agreement with employees of the Transportation Security Administration, Steve Sweeney issued the following statement:

“Homeland Security’s decision to end the collective bargaining agreement that protects the rights and benefits of over 50,000 men and women of the TSA is a slap in the face – not just to TSA employees, but to workers everywhere.

“Let this serve as a reminder that elections matter. That’s why it’s more important than ever that the Democrat nominated in June is a candidate who can win in November. We need to protect union members and their families. I promise to be that candidate, and when I’m elected Governor, I will fight tooth and nail to ensure we do right by our workers every single day.”
