It’s just people calling off sick.
Odd coincidence.
And it is orchestrated, or at least condoned and encouraged, by the TSA management….they want to “spread the pain” to get their funding restored.
=Oddly, during the last real budget battle, The TSA folk didn’t call off en masse. Strange, that
This time, I believe Trump wants it to happen also.
The only reason the TSA “Agents” are calling off is because they believe they can get away with that sort of behavior. So far, they have.
And if the TSA cannot man a checkpoint at an airport, then they demonstrate that they aren’t needed, so they folks can get on those airplanes without TSA interreference. The TSA (or lack thereof) should not case an airport to close.
Either show up and demonstrate that you job is needed, or don’t.
If they fired a few for not showing up for work, I bet the absentee rate would drop….precipitiously.
