One More Thought

I just wanted to add on to what Howard posted yesterday. Not only are we not getting paid shift differential, but we're not getting paid additional for Sunday premiums, PASS, or for job collaterals (TSA pays for additional skills and certifications). Gerry Berry has blatantly admitted that we're not getting paid the same as our TSA brethren and sisters by stating that our pay is "very, very close to the feds", even though we are required per ATSA( Aviation Transportation Security Act) to be paid the equivalent or better.

The one question that needs to be asked of John Pistole is this: If he has universally decided that there is no "substantial advantage" to privatizing security at the airports, then why in the hell is he going to allow the current 16 privatized airports to remain privatized? We know that there is a disadvantage, certainly when it comes to cost. So why continue it?

And I'm still trying to figure out where these proponents of privatized security are getting their information about how it is easier to get rid of less desirable Officers! I ask all of you, in the eight years of Covenant Aviation Security's existence at SFO, how many people have been fired for being rude or a lazy worker?

Inquiring minds want to know...
