In a memo that that one TSA employee said sounded like “a teenage blogger writing about someone they don’t like,” the Department of Homeland Security announced March 7 that it was cancelling the union contract for 47,000 workers at the Transportation Security Administration. The American Federation of Government Employees signed its contract with TSA in May 2024, and it wasn’t set to expire until 2031. DHS also stopped deducting union dues, and ordered all union officers to immediately return to their TSO duties. Workers voted in the union in 2011.

        Maybe but in my experience it’s a lot of hassle and authoritarian bullshit. Worst airports of any country

          Exactly! It’s about them pushing you around and asserting their authority; not the safety of passengers.

          There is a reason TSA never makes their internal testing public: because they are terrible at their job.

Beehaw’s community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you’re nice about it.


Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it’s hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a “left vs right” debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.
