Conversion to Civil Service
Air Marshal Service
Tue Apr 21, 2009 9:08 AM

What is so often overlooked is the reasoning behind why the employees are so upset with the current system, which has never been fairly applied, and has as a result led to the promotions of unqualified personnel. Those who are best at appealing to management, for whatever reason, are the ones promoted, whereas the rest are told "there's no money available for promotions". Perhaps when the current group of administrators is finally forced to leave the Agency, things will become better, but until such time, the GS system is the only fai way to advance in TSA/FAMS.

GS Best System; Pay for Performance is Flawed
Retired

Pay for performance is flawed. Capping salaries at the top on pay for performance (payout in place of COLA)discriminates against those for base pay increases that increase TSP, life insurance and annuity. What do we not understand. If Air Traffic controllers, border patrol, who are national security roles can be unionized so can TSP security folks, Otherwise, like FBI and CIA they should be excluded per 5 USC Ch 71.

Transportation Security Workforce Enhancement Act
Transportation Security Administration

As a Transportation Security Officer since 2002 I can assure you that securing our long sought after rights under "Transportation Security Workforce Enhancement Act of 2009" is of utmost importance to all of our officers.
We have long worked under a system that gives us few rights and no avenues of redress for the mistreatment, demeaning attitudes and policies set forth by both Headquarters and local Federal Security Directors. Moral at the working level is at an all time low. We need the rights given to all other Federal agencies for our protection, and to return Dignity and Respect to the men and women that protect the flying public day in and day out. We are working people, with families and we take pride in our work. We only ask that our rights be protected and that we can be made equal to all government employees.

Yet since I'm not a GS employee I could not transfer to that job. We are under enormous stress and take our jobs seriously. The leadership should grant us our basic rights but the fact that they don't tells all of us that we don't matter to the DHS and TSA leadership. Lets pass the bill and give us our basic rights.

As soon as the TSA goes GS, and gets all the protection the GS union members get, you can forget any pretense that they are providing security to your baggage or person. We will be back to the days when you avoided Newark to keep your stuff from being ripped off. Only now you will have doper theives checking your bags everywhere.

I work under the GS system and I see the same exact thing - people who are "appealing to managment" which results in "promotions of unqualified personnel" all the time. I would like to know where the perplexing perception of the GS system being different and "fair" comes from.

Needed Reform
TSA, DHS

TSA is long overdue for reform. The myriad of abuse and illegal activities literally boggles the mind, especially since there has been no accountability, redress or objective appeal since TSA was formed in 2002. Management has used cat's paws to effect the arbitrary and capricious mandates and AFGE has been the only -- often ineffective barrier to the twilight zone of government service created by the ATSA, known as TSA.
At the very leaast, the minor infractions and ruling of the TSA version of the MSRP should be reviewed by an independent third party to correct the petty excesses found at virtually every airport in the US.
