Wicker on Fox Discussing TSA Collective Bargaining's Impact on National Security

WASHINGTON, DC -- Senator Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) appeared on Fox News this morning to talk about the Obama Administration's decision to allow Transportation Security Administration (TSA) personnel to collectively bargain. This week, Senator Wicker's amendment to exclude TSA personnel from collective bargaining agreements is expected to be voted on in the Senate.

Last week, Wicker said, "The Obama Administration's actions today to move forward on unionizing our TSA workforce with collective bargaining rights could hamper our national security. Earlier this week, I offered an amendment, which is currently being debated in the Senate, that would prohibit collective bargaining for TSA security screeners. Despite the fact that the Senate is considering this very issue, the Administration decided to move forward with this ill-advised policy."
