All TSA agents should strike at the same time those days, wearing green hats and fake mustaches

Nothing would change, the TSA does nothing but harass lawful citizens.

Yeah lol, people would probably have a great travel experience and want to make it permanent. Strikes only work if your job is important to someone, otherwise they work against you

I'm gonna guess that the airports will shut down in the US if TSA is not available. They're not just gonna let people through without any security in place.

If the choice is profits or security for customers...

But there's probably some more systems that prevent it

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie 4 points 1 week ago

Right, because all the terrorists are just waiting for an impromptu TSA strike.

They let people through unscreened on holidays. I let them buy me out of my ticket on a long weekend once and flying the next day was so nice. A few dozen of us were just waved past security and right to the gate. Just had to show we had a boarding pass. This was at a big Texas airport too.

They aren't allowed to strike.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Disruption is the point of striking.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They are legally not allowed to strike. They would be fired immediately for dereliction of their position. It's part of the negotiation when they take a federal job.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

What will they do if all TSA agents are fired tho?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

If the government is going to be derelect in its duty to pay its workers, then workers can do the same to their positions.

Though I would be looking for another job and quit without notice when one is found in this case. Fuck Musk. No one voted for his ass.
