Oh? Video of Kennedy spilling a drink on himself while lighting up a cigar?

Had to say it! 😀
bravo! :laugh:

It's a wonder anyone can understand his drunken slurred speech.

the word bravo should sure you for abusing it.

It's you that's hard to understand, not Kennedy.
It must be the echoing resonating between her ears that makes it so hard for her to understand.
Red, lay off.
 
Where does it say in the law that workers don't have the right to organize? Or wait, I guess in our messed up world, the right to organize only means having the government on your side.

Doc Savage, did you watch the speech, where Kennedy said the amendment does NOT give them the right to strike?
I watched the speech but must have missed the part about no right to strike. But, didn't the air traffic controllers also had no right to strike...but they did it anyway.

I bet you are the life of any party lmao
 
McDonalds workers do have the right to organize...will they? No

The air traffic controllers were fired because they shut down the airports and Reagan told them to return to work or be fired.

TSA workers cant make $24 an hour becuase they would not have such a high turn over.

And those who said that airport security is not "first line defenders", they are the only line of defenders for the sky.

They should have the right to organize and eventually they will organize.

Do you really want a disgruntal underpaid, over worked TSA employees protecting the airports?

This is just more anti Union Republican BS.
 
I agree, how is this even a debate? Had the TSA employees been better trained and more comfortable with their working conditions/pay, is there any doubt they'd have at least picked up on the terrorist scent that fateful morning of 9/11? I don't think there's any question.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA



Sorry, so Kennedy goes off on a tirade not related to the issue at hand and we are supposed to congratulate him?

You're not very good at posting. Hula hooping is more your speed.
 
And since it seems people are missing the point here; the union bill is merely a precursor to a bill requiring stricter requirements for TSA workers. That in combination with better employee rights seems like a reasonable recipe for improved competence at airports. Well worth it to be sure.

Thank you and I agree with this statement. Those of you that railed against the quality of workers in the TSA have actually argued for the need of unionization/employee rights. Unless you are in favor of burger flippers securing our airports?

The dense partisan crowd is at it again. :roll:

I guess the arguments is that you want low-paid disgruntled mcdonalds employees securing the airports?

And if they were to organize they'd be unionized, low-paid, disgruntled McDonald's employees securing our airports. What about the qulity of the employees at TSA would change?

Here's a question. If all this added security was in place at our airports on September 10th, 2001, would 9/11 have been prevented?

NO. It just would have taken them an extra hour to clear security. Then again, maybe the added delay might have caused some of them to miss their planes. 😉
 
i was thinking of applying to be a TSA screener some time back. i decided the pain and aggravation of driving(would have been 2 hours each way to take the train) into Boston wasn't worth 22k a year.
