Low wages and job cuts are the the issues facing Federal employees at Montana Airports who work for the Transportation Security Administration.
Federal Transportation Security Officers make $13.50 an hour to start, after years as a federal employee most in missoula make more. They are now facing their federal jobs being outsourced to a contractor under the provisions of ATSA and the SPP. Trinity in partnership with Lockheed Martin are coming after those jobs. The reality is instead of federal money coming into and staying in the state as salary; the year following the airport going private salaries will be cut in half. In the first wave 1/3d of the officers will not be hired back (even though they are supposed to have the right of first refusal to work for the private contractor). Money once provided by we the federal tax paying Montanans will be flowing out of state.
Recent job loses in the state impact the local economy, (insert job lose numbers to Montana)
In Missoula recently Senator John Tester spoke to Greg Philips, Deputy Director of the Missoula Int. Airport and asked him some questions relating to the Airport's motivation for considering privatization. Mr. Philips stated they were motivated primarily for monetary reasons and that they were attempting to partner with a private contractor to share in profits of a federally paid contract. This as a Montana Governmental Body selling federal jobs to increase their public coffers. Will the profit sharing be equal to the decrease in salaries and benefits and the lost jobs? How will that profit be spent? On airport improvements? Who will do those improvements? Local people or large corporations from other states influenced by the partnership. Who holds the purse strings to Trinity company the one seeking the SPP contracts in Montana? If you follow it back you will find Lockheed Martin. How can a select few Airport Authority Board member's make decisions of such magnitude and consequence that effect so many Montana citizens who depend and deserve the highest level of Aviation Security that a Federal Security workforce has provided for the last 8 years? The threat to Aviation continues to be paramount and with the proximity of a foreign border in our backyard, this is not the right option for Montana airports. There are many issues facing Montana but privatizing the airports is not the answer for Montana. I ask you to continue to look at this issue and not support anymore "outsourcing" of government jobs that will leave more Montanans with less wages and benefits.
