TSA Union Leaders Address Shutdown Impacts, Support Unpaid Workers, and Push for Legislative Solutions in Nevada

Keith White and Marcos Crespo, local union leaders for TSA employees in Nevada, discussed the impact of the ongoing government shutdown on TSA operations and employees. They highlighted that employees have missed three paychecks, leading to significant financial strain. The union has secured $50 gas cards for 1,200 employees from local legislators and community support. Despite no reduction in staffing, some employees struggled to attend work. The union continues to support members with information on resources like food pantries and unemployment benefits. They emphasized the need for legislative solutions to prevent future shutdowns and thanked local and national political leaders for their support.
