We're extremely proud of the work our TSA officers do to keep airline passengers safe. And we're just as proud to work alongside the exceptional flight attendants of @afa_cwa.

We've come a long way since the formation of TSA. Passing the Rights for the TSA Workforce Act is the final step to AFGE TSA Officers achieving equality with other federal workers. Grab your personal phone and tell your lawmakers to cosponsor this bill⬇ actionnetwork.org/letters/take-a…

Congratulations to AFGE TSA officers @AFGETSAC100 for a new, historic, 7-year contract that provides unprecedented workplace rights. afge.org/article/afge-t…

Reminder: Join us next week live from New York as we live stream our contract ceremony! facebook.com/events/7477835…

Increased pay, better bargaining rights, and more workplace allowances weren’t just gifted to TSA Officers. They’re the result of the  hard work of our dedicated union leaders and the support of rank-and-file members. afge.org/media-center/p…

What do federal workers think about corporate politicians who are once again trying to shut the government down and lock us out of our jobs? “I think that these Congressmen that do this don't care about their constituents at all." afge.org/shutdown youtu.be/4Bkfe4vuvgc

“The employees are very excited about being included in the 5.2% pay increase,” he said in an interview. “And when you add that in with the previous pay increases that we secured earlier in the year, it’s made a big difference to their entire lives.” federaltimes.com/home/2024/02/1…

We beat our yearly goal by July because workers see that it pays to be union. “@AFGETSAC100's fight for a robust contract paid off. @AFGENVAC won the strongest contract in government. SSA + DoD are mobilized, locals are busy, and organizers are working.” afge.org/media-center/p…

Today in labor history, on Dec. 5 1955, the AFL and the CIO merged to form the AFL-CIO.

🚨 The numbers are in - your November AFGE organizing update is ANOTHER big one 📈 We added 1,312 net new members last month, and almost 15,000 over the past 12 months! Let's keep it going, AFGE family!

AFGE Local 448 members at Norfolk International Airport in Virginia were making their voices heard over the Thanksgiving holiday - speaking with travelers about the importance of the Fund the TSA Act and ensuring TSA workers are treated with dignity and respect on the job. 📢

My sincere appreciation to our @TSA employees who worked diligently during the Thanksgiving weekend. Officers screened over 2.9M passengers at airport security checkpoints yesterday - the most ever screened on record. Thank you for always being vigilant & focused on our mission.

Don't forget to thank a TSA officer while you fly this holiday season. #thankyou @TSA #Thebig3 @AFGENational @AFLCIO

"Transportation Security Officers at PDX understand the risks that go with protecting our airport, and we're thankful for the communications we received from the agency regarding the incident," the union said in an emailed statement." kgw.com/article/news/c…
