https://time.com/article/2026/04/07/tsa-job-cuts-trump-white-house-budget-proposal-privatization-concerns/ We cannot let DOGE-style cuts weaken national security, and further demoralize front-line TSA workers already abused by this government. TSA is very effective and has prevented another 9-11. #tsa #afge #doge #union #civilservice #nationalsecurity #employment #travel #jobs

The “checks” were FAKE. The bonus is a LIE - virtually no TSA officers who worked without pay with perfect attendance - and ate from food banks - are getting the $10k. It’s a LIE that recipients are recommended by local leaders. Local leaders have NO information, and there’s NO criteria used. -
The American Federation of Government Employees #AFGE & other #labor #unions have sued to stop the “reductions in force” #MassLayoffs, saying the firings were an #AbuseOfPower designed to punish #FederalWorkers & pressure #Congress.
Lawyers for the government claim the district court does not have the authority to hear personnel challenges [which is bullshit].

In a strong condemnation of both parties on Monday, the #AFGE argued the #shutdown is an “avoidable crisis” harming American families & workers across the nation.
“Both political parties have made their point, & still there is no clear end in sight,” Everett Kelley, president of the AFGE, wrote. “It’s time to pass a clean continuing resolution & end this shutdown today. No half measures, & no gamesmanship.”

#Government workers #union president criticizes #OMB backpay memo
“The frivolous argument that federal employees are not guaranteed backpay under the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act is an obvious misinterpretation of the #law,” said Everett Kelley, president of the American Federation of Government Employees

Nicole Cantello, president of #AFGE Local 704, which represents 1,000 #EPA workers in #Chicago, said that delaying or otherwise impeding the release of scientific findings violates the agency’s scientific integrity policy.
“It results in the further erosion of the public’s trust in EPA & its ability to protect human #health & the #environment,” Cantello said.#Trump #PublicHealth #Climate #water #pollution #science #law #EnvironmentalLaw

#Federal labor #unions targeted in the EOs have repeatedly sued the #Trump admin, & in some cases forced the admin to temporarily pause Trump’s efforts to shrink the federal work force & reshape the government. The American Federation of Government Employees [#AFGE] has filed more than a dozen lawsuits related to the federal work force. The White House has likened this to a declaration of “war.”

…The American Federation of Government Employees Council 238, a #union that represents more than 8,000 #EPA workers, slammed Friday’s announcement.
The #science office “is the heart & brain of the EPA,” said Justin Chen, president of #AFGE Council 238. “Without it, we don’t have the means to assess impacts upon human #health & the #environment. Its destruction will devastate #PublicHealth in our country.”

"The largest union for federal employees is planning to lay off more than half of its staff nationwide after President Donald Trump’s executive actions have rapidly weakened the organization’s finances, the union said Thursday.
"The American Federation of Government Employees will move ahead with a reduction in force that could cut its 355 employees to approximately 150, eliminating organizers, national representatives, support staff and others.
"The layoffs will weaken a leading opponent to Trump’s dramatic reshaping of the federal government."

This move by TSA certainly should reassure anyone that has a contract with the feds about whether the Trump regime will honor it.
' The department’s move could add uncertainty within a labor force that secures the nation’s transportation system. “Nobody wants to work in a place where you have no rights or workplace protections,” said [AFGE union official Johnny] Jones, a 22-year TSA employee. '
