All work and no pay makes TSA workers poor, and makes the rest of America even more insecure.
Only in Trump’s America!
The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents a chunk of TSA employees, said screeners were becoming increasingly panicked as the partial shutdown drags on, diminishing their chances of getting paid Friday.
“Every day, I’m getting calls from my members about their extreme hardships and need for a paycheck,” Hydrick Thomas, president of AFGE’s TSA Council said. “Some of them have already quit and many are considering quitting the federal workforce because of this shutdown.”
He added that a wave of resignations could create “a massive security risk for American travelers” since TSA cannot hire new screeners during a shutdown.
