TSA, EEOC Nominations Take Next Steps
Both Erroll Southers' nomination to lead the Transportation Security Administration and Chai Feldblum's nomination to be a member of the Equal Employment advanced today, as the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee approved Southers' nomination and Feldblum had her first confirmation hearing. It's good news to see both of these nominations proceeding. TSA has substantial workforce issues, and looming over them, the question of whether workers there will be granted collective bargaining rights, something Southers will have to decide. And EEOC is desperately short of members right now. In all the flurry over health care reform, it's easy to forget that for some agencies, not much has changed since the administration. At least these two are closer to having leaders, now.
