The Department of Homeland Security announced the termination of its collective bargaining agreement with TSA workers, arguing that it threatens traveler safety. This decision reflects President Trump's administration's ongoing efforts to weaken labor protections for federal employees, eliciting strong opposition from the American Federation of Government Employees. Labor experts suggest this move may facilitate the privatization of the TSA. The DHS claims that poor performance among some TSA workers is tied to union activities, a claim rebutted by union leadership, asserting that the decision is legally questionable and not genuinely focused on safety.
The Homeland Security Department cited union contracts as a threat to travel safety, claiming that collective bargaining hinders efforts to secure U.S. airports and transit.
Union president Everett Kelley argued that the administration's decision is not about enhancing safety but rather undermines federal labor protections.
