Bill Summary
A BILL To enhance the security operations of the Transportation Security Administration and stability of the transportation security workforce by applying the personnel system under title 5, United States Code, to employees of the Transportation Security Administration, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill aims to transition Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees from their current personnel management system to the standard federal government personnel system outlined in Title 5 of the United States Code. The bill will fundamentally change how TSA employees are hired, managed, and protected, giving them more workplace rights and benefits similar to other federal workers. By December 31, 2025, all current TSA-specific personnel management systems will be replaced, and employees will be subject to standard federal employment regulations, including collective bargaining rights and standardized pay scales. The bill ensures that during this transition, employees will not experience a reduction in pay or benefits, and it preserves existing leave, retirement, and other employment rights. Additionally, the bill requires several reviews and reports on TSA workforce issues, including recruitment, promotion diversity, workplace harassment, and employee morale. The legislation also mandates specific protections for Federal Air Marshals and requires the TSA to report on workplace assaults and threats. Importantly, the bill maintains existing restrictions on federal employees' right to strike, and it emphasizes that the goal is to provide TSA workers with better workplace protections without compromising their compensation or the agency's security mission.
