DHS Shutdown Leaves TSA Workers Pleading for Pay Relief
Liberty Check
- The partial DHS shutdown has stretched into its 40th day, leaving TSA workers and other federal employees without pay.
- Union representatives say some workers are skipping meals and struggling to afford gas just to get to work.
- The funding fight is disrupting airport operations and putting added strain on travel safety and efficiency.
A TSA union representative says the shutdown has become severe enough that workers are making painful sacrifices just to keep going.
“It has come to the point of having to skip meals because I have to make sure my kids are fed.”
“It is unacceptable at this point that we are showing up to work with no pay.”
“And even the people who are not showing up to work because they’re not able to put gas in their car.”
As security wait times surge and federal families suffer, the blame for this manufactured crisis lies squarely with those who refuse to secure our nation.
The Constitution must be defended.
