When Unions Go Wild

FAA looks, finds featherbedding at New York TRACON: N90_Ex-Summ.pdf (application/pdf Object)

Schumer, Clinton see no problem:

The union found friends in Washington, where New York Senators Charles Schumer and Hillary Rodham Clinton both expressed support for the controllers. "To say that little overtime and no new employees are needed at one of the busiest towers in the nation defies credibility," Schumer said in a statement. "We don't need more reports, we need amicable solutions," Clinton said.

Note that Schumer is so clueless he refers to "one of the busiest towers in the country" when the report is about the New York TRACON, a totally separate facility. How about STFU, Senator, before you remove all doubt how big a fool you are? And Clinton's response is pure autopilot phone it in politi-garbage, per usual. She probably asked an aide afterwards, "What is the FAA again?"
