If this does happen, does this mean that when they don't get the pay increase they want, the union will have them go on strike? Yippee, the TSA want to unionise.

TSA Worker is right (except I don't think your head is in your arse, hehehe). The TSA workers have a right to unionize and, if the offer to do so is put to their vote, they have the right to say yea or nay. Nothing wrong with that--saying yea or nay to an invitation to join a union is the American way. Not allowing the workers to even have that yea or nay is oppressive and Un-American. It's far too soon to say exactly or even approximately what Obama will do, since he was elected less than a week ago and his inauguration is still 2 months away.

TSA employees are CIVILIAN workers (not military workers). Yes, we perform some of the same functions, but so does the capital police, FBI, CIA, etc. Your comparison is not fully logical. If workers could unite then we would have an opportunity to run the agency better... Food for thought: Maybe the reason why the general flying public HATES the agency has more to do with the management decisions being made and not the worker implementing the stupid decisions. get you head out of your arze.
