Plain-English Summary
This bill would give Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers the right to form unions and collectively bargain for better pay, benefits, and working conditions, similar to rights that many other federal employees already have. Currently, TSA employees have limited ability to organize and negotiate as a group, so this legislation aims to level the playing field for the roughly 60,000 airport security screeners and other TSA staff members across the country.
