Trump Revokes Collective Bargaining Rights At TSA To Crush Union
HuffPost
Union leaders have warned such a move would diminish working conditions and threaten safety at an agency infamous for low morale.
The Trump administration said Friday that it is ending collective bargaining at the Transportation Security Administration, effectively revoking union protections for thousands of airport security officers.
In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security claimed the move would “safeguard our transportation systems and keep Americans safe.”
“Eliminating collective bargaining removes bureaucratic hurdles that will strengthen workforce agility [and] enhance productivity and resiliency, while also jumpstarting innovation,” the agency said.
Workers at TSA, which Congress created in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, do not enjoy the same union rights as employees at most other federal agencies. Bargaining rights can essentially be extended or rescinded at the will of the administrator.
Those rights were introduced at TSA by former President Barack Obama and strengthened under former President Joe Biden. But now they are being tossed aside by Trump.
