What Would Collective Bargaining Rights Mean for You?

Federal employees join a union because they want a voice at work. This includes a legally binding contract to win better wages and other workplace benefits, fair and equitable working conditions, dignity on the job and overall work and life balance. Specifically, collective bargaining makes your work life better by:

* Clearing the way for a negotiated contract between TSA and AFGE that clearly defines wages, rights, and benefits. Workplace rules will be improved and standardized all TSOs are treated equally.

* Ensuring that management informs the union and thus its members of any proposed changes in personnel policy, procedures, and/or working conditions.

* Giving you the opportunity to have a neutral third party to resolve grievances, not leaving every decision to management or the TSA-run Disciplinary Review Board or the management influenced Peer Review Board.

* Taking favoritism and discrimination out of processes governing performance, promotion, overtime, shift bids, health and safety, etc.

AFGE is the largest union in DHS and the federal government, representing more than 600,000 employees nationwide. No union has bargained more contracts in the federal sector than AFGE.
