Hi goalie,

Remember, these TSA employees that are being punished for not harassing passengers with random searches.

The union can argue that the lower level employees ("one-stripers") would have been written up for insubordination if they had performed the random searches that their management was instructing them not to perform.

I am pretty confident that the arbitrator(s) will agree with the union and the suspended one-stripers will end up being paid for the time they sat at home.
