Here is what they can bargain on: grievance procedures-- that helps on morale--nonemergency scheduling--that helps on morale-- awards and recognitions, uniforms, bidding on shifts and procedures used for how they bid on shifts--who gets the 2 a.m. shift, who gets the 7 a.m. shift--all nonemergency types of situations. This will help give them better morale and will help in terms of ensuring security. Do not take my word for it. Take the Administrator's word for it, Administrator John Pistole, who said this will help ensure the safety of the traveling public.
