Airport security, now with 75% more standing around!

TSA bosses last year granted workers the ability to collectively bargain.

Under the plan, TSA screeners would be prohibited from striking, just like other federal employees.

Am I missing something here?

1) They already obtained the right to bargain.
2) They can't strike even if they unionize

So WTF is the benefit of unionizing? So they can pay hefty dues like a chump?

It's so they can collect the dues and then donate collectively to a political figure who will return the favor by giving them rediculous benefits and pay raises. They'll basically be barganing with themselves.
