Bond Expresses Concerns Over Homeland Security Hang Up

U.S. Senate debate over the proposal to create a Cabinet-level Department of Homeland Security goes on, with Democrats and Republicans at odds over whether the Department’s staff should be unionized. Senator Christopher Bond says the Democrats’ version of the bill would protect Department workers from dismissal – even if they are doing things that might hurt national security. Bond says national security must not take a back seat to union rights.
