Largest Federal Employee Union Calls for Training, Protective Equipment, to Prevent Ebola Exposure at Ports of Entry
WASHINGTON – In response to the recent Ebola crisis and the heightened risk for Transportation Security Officers, Border Patrol agents and other federal employees, the American Federation of Government Employees National President J. David Cox Sr. today issued the following statement:
“The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) urges the government to take all necessary measures to protect the public and government employees stationed at the U.S. ports of entry and other sites from potential exposure to the Ebola virus. We expect every precaution to be taken to detect and isolate infected travelers at the earliest point in their journey to the United States in order to minimize exposure and reduce the risk of infection.
“Our members at TSA, Border Patrol and elsewhere have expressed concerns about their risk of exposure. AFGE is committed to continue working with management at TSA and the Border Patrol to ensure all appropriate precautions are in place, and to ensure that our officers receive the best prevention training and personal protective equipment available.”

Hmm,I'm confused,are they urging themselves;)
Training = fancy time off in a 5 star resort
Protective Equipment = lots of money for fancy swag
or lots of money
to Prevent Ebola Exposure at Ports of Entry
THIS will cause the West Africa travel ban.
To the members of AFGE: You folks supported Obama in both elections despite him being a Malthusian who believes there are too many people living in the United States and knowing that he despises America and Americans. You would be better served if you insisted your Dear Leader closed the borders.
Either that,or Ebola will just fade away;)
Wrong
Giving a Level 4 protective suit to the vast majority of TSA Persons would be a total waste. Those trough feeders are, after all, rejects from the fast food industry.
They could not manage donning and doffing the Level 4 suit - and, they would have to be retained after every coffee break or meal break.
Obola voters all! You bought it, now the bill is due. Pay for it!
How’s that hope and change workin’ out for ya’, AFGE?
