TSA is removing chairs from checkpoints, said the American Federation of Government Employees TSA Council 100, which represents workers and criticized the move as a “disregard for workers’ rights and safety" and added the chairs “serve as basic ergonomic and safety support for officers that stand and walk on hard surfaces all day.”
TSA confirmed the decision, saying: “This welcome change reinforces both our security posture and our commitment to hospitality by having these officers on their feet and alert. All officers must meet fitness for duty requirements to be capable of performing their vital national security function.”
This kind of shit is how you can tell a boomer is running it. Stupid outdated cruel decisions. I hate TSA as an institution, but a lot of people employed there are just trying to get by, same as the rest of us.
It is unprofessional for them to stand on two feet at the same time. Instead they should have to stand on one foot at all times. They should be forced to wear sensors in their shoes and be penalized if they spend more than 30 seconds in an 8 hour day with both feet on the ground. I think this would promote readiness and show a more professional appearance.
The century-long project to divide the working class is still succeeding.
Removing every bit of humanity, one step at a time. The us is a dark place and it’s getting darker every day.
There are a thousand other jobs that can’t either. Cry me a river.
The existence of previous harm does not excuse further harm.
The people who do the ID checks literally have no reason to stand. They’re sitting on the other side of a kiosk and checking your ID. All the physical security checks are done by other people after that
Yeah but how else can the “leadership” show that they are in control. If you have time to sit you have time to quit lol
Boohoo. ACAB includes TSA.
“Nine times out of ten it’s an electric razor, but every once in a while… it’s a dildo. Of course, it’s company policy never to imply ownership in the event of a dildo. We have to use the indefinite article, ‘a dildo’, never… your dildo.”
For a hot minute i thought that TSA is being dismantled
It is, just very slowly.
“…our committment to hospitality” 🤣
Oh man I hope there’s a dozen ADA lawsuits incoming.
Man and they finally stopped being such dicks the past few years.
I can’t wait to be sexually assaulted by someone who’s not allowed to sit down!
Anti fatigue mats? Hell no, that’s socialism!
