Labor Wants DHS Pledge on Union Data
Labor leaders have written to U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff urging him to declare he will not collect information about union membership.More here.
John Sweeney, president of the AFL-CIO, and Edward Wytkind of its Transportation Trades Department say they are concerned about language in an agreement the Department of Homeland Security struck with the European Union regarding the transfer of data about airline passengers.
The agreement covers a category of sensitive information, such as “personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, (and) trade union membership.”
