- Check Out the When TSA Management Says Talking Points
- Talking Points for Staying AFGE Amidst Attacks on Our Union Rights:
Staying Together
-
- Our Union is the only thing standing between us and a loss of our job. The attack on our union is the first blow in an attack against the TSA itself and our jobs. Staying together and staying union is essential to protect our agency and prevent our work from being lost to privatization.
Lobbying
-
- Our union has won its biggest wins through lobbying. Lobbying is how we got bargaining rights in the first place, how we got Title 5 parity, and how we got the largest pay raise in federal history.
Fighting Back
-
- We are actively challenging these messy, illegal assaults on our rights through the legal system. We are fighting to win back everything we had, and to keep building from there.
Winning Our Union Back
-
- The only way to win back all we had in our contract—whether it’s shift trades, parking, uniforms, and more —is by standing together as a union. We can't win back our union rights if we give up our union.
Representation
-
- Your union provides representation to members in disciplinary actions, EEOC cases, workers’ compensation claims, and more.
Member Benefits
-
- Exclusive member benefits such as free or nearly free college education for you and your extended family are only available to members.
All Hands on Deck
-
- We need every single TSO to stand up and fight for our rights, our jobs, and our future. Stay engaged, support our efforts, and remember: our power as a union is our most valuable asset. Stay union, stay strong.
