Summary
Trump is revoking collective bargaining rights at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), ending union protections for thousands of airport security officers.
The Department of Homeland Security claims the move will improve efficiency and security, but unions argue it is a retaliatory attack on federal workers.
The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) plans to challenge the decision. TSA workers fear the rollback will worsen working conditions and retention.
The policy reverses union rights granted under Obama and expanded by Biden.
That’s how unions are supposed to work. It’s really the only bargaining chip workers have, at least until we can all be 100% replaced by ai and robots…
How are we doing on that front, by the way?
We’re probably multiple centuries from robot labor replacing a meaningful amount of human labor.
Modern “AI” can’t even run a call center, it’s not replacing real jobs anytime soon, despite how egar marketing teams are to gaslight C-Suite into paying for it.
