Tentative TSA Election Details Set
We’re halfway home—you and NTEU.

The union election that will determine your exclusive representative has been tentatively scheduled for a six-week period running from March 9 through April 19. A meeting was held between the parties to the election today and a tentative agreement on these dates was reached. The dates are expected to be finalized shortly after TSA resolves two pending issues.

You will be able to cast your secret vote for NTEU either electronically or by calling a toll-free number.

Once the consent agreement is final, the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA), a three-member federal body that oversees federal sector labor-management relations—including union representation elections—will be sending you election information at your address of record with TSA.

At the end of the ballot period, the FLRA will count the votes on April 20, 2011, and ultimately certify a winning union, the union that receives a majority of the votes.


At the meeting, the parties identified eligible voters. Eligible voters include Transportation Security Officers (TSOs), Lead Transportation Security Officers (LTSOs), Behavioral Detection Officers (BDOs), Security Training Instructors (STIs) and National Deployment Officers (NDOs), who were on the payroll as of Jan. 15, 2011. BDOs will now be eligible to vote in the election. Although TSA initially opposed BDO eligibility, the agency changed its position at today’s meeting.

You do not have to take any steps in this process—except for the most important one for you and your family.

I wonder what the union rep will do to passengers the "workers" find offensive?
