A short quote:
Transportation Security Administration employees plan to demonstrate Wednesday afternoon at their agency’s Arlington headquarters, calling for expanded worker protections as their union holds its annual conference in the nation’s capital.
The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents TSA employees, expects at least 125 transportation-security officers to gather for the event, demanding the right to appeal disciplinary actions to a federal review panel.

The demonstration on Wednesday coincides with AFGE’s annual conference in Washington, which started Sunday and lasts until Wednesday.

Seems kind of ironic that employees of an agency that routinely denies pax any right to transparent and impartial due process are themselves complaining that they don't enjoy adequate due process.

I have to hang with John U, first and only comment so far:

The only protections I'd like to see extended to TSA employees are whistleblower protections. They might encourage more TSA employees to leak the various hidden abuses and waste.
