Vote to Unionize Airport Screeners Requires a Runoff - NYTimes.com

Vote to Unionize Airport Screeners Requires a Runoff - NYTimes.com
"Federal officials said 8,369 security screeners, who are employees of the Transportation Security Administration, had voted to join the American Federation of Government Employees, while 8,095 had voted to join the National Treasury Employees Union.
The vote against unionizing was 3,111.
Since none of the three choices received a majority, the screeners will choose between the two unions in a runoff election that will omit the option of not unionizing.
The winning union will represent the nation’s 44,000 T.S.A. screeners in contract negotiations."

What's up with this?
Only 16,000 out of 44,000 workers voted for the union and the union won?!!!
Sounds alot like the Michigan child care union scam.
