DHS: major TSA change to shorten airport security wait times
[NYPOST] The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says it is ending collective bargaining for Transportation Security Officers with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). In a release obtained exclusively by FOX Business, DHS said the TSA has more people doing ''full-time union work'' rather than performing screening functions at 86% of U.S. airports. This means that out of 432 federalized airports, 374 airports have fewer than 200 TSA Officers to perform screening functions. These officers are paid by the government but work ''full-time on union matters'' and do not retain certification to perform screening functions, DHS said. The department cited a recent TSA employee survey which found that more than 60% of ''poor performers'' are allowed to stay employed and ''not surprisingly, continue to not perform.''
