1999 - Access Control Specialist Joe Thomas

East Gate, Miami International Airport


Now a Senior Agent in the Safety & Security Division, created to mimic the former security division that existed at MIA until 1984 when it was abolished and personnel sent to the three operational divisions.

When I was involved with the airport workers union leadership from 1982 to 1986 I represented him at a disciplinary hearing, even though he wasn't a member of the union, where he could have been fired for broadcasting the sounds of a flushing toilet using his county handheld radio. He had been assigned a radio that was specially modified to identify that radio. Instead of being terminated he was suspended for a month without pay by George Spofford, Deputy Director of the airport.
