(Acting) Chief Fisher - Still just acting

(Acting) Chief Fisher is acting like he did while he was acting as the chief in San Diego. He has already willingly carried out his first order from his bosses in Labor Employee Relations. At their direction, he agreed to strip all employees from the bargaining unit if they volunteer for a detail to aid the Federal Air Marshals Service. After 9-11, agents were detailed to the FAMS, but surprisingly they continued to be recognized as bargaining unit members with rights and protections. Of course this was pre-Aguilar and at a time when management actually stood up for the Patrol and the agents instead of doing anything to get promoted.
