Unions File Lawsuit Against DHS to Stop the Illegal Termination of TSA Officers’ Collective Bargaining Agreement
March 18, 2025 — Last week, AFA joined a coalition of unions to file a lawsuit against Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, the Department of Homeland Security, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and TSA Senior Official Adam Stahl for the unlawful and unilateral termination of a negotiated union contract. The union contract protects approximately 47,000 Transportation Security Officers (TSOs).
"The decision to eliminate collective bargaining rights for TSA is terrible for aviation security and everyone who depends on safe travel,” said Sara Nelson. “This will take us back to the days of security at the lowest price with the highest costs for our country. Since 9/11 we have committed to 'Never Forget' and this Administration must understand just how seriously we mean it."
We are seeking injunctive relief to stop the administration from breaking the contract, eliminating union representation, and stripping workers of their bargaining rights. It sends a signal to corporate America that contracts don’t matter. We can’t stand for that. Read our full press release here.
