I don't see how this doesn't lead to mass walkouts.
Fuck TSA and the surveillance state masquerading as security theater but if I had been showing up to work and not getting paid for 6 weeks and then these fucking dorks showed up, hung out at shake shack for 6 hours and got paid for it I'd be coming down with a case of rectal glaucoma and not being able to see my ass at work real quick.
Because your average TSA employee is making $20/hr with pretty good benefits. Deeply discounted health insurance, above average vacation and sick pay, etc...and after 5 or 6 years, they'll be making $30-40/hr., depending on their location.
If they quit, they'd have to start all over again. (I think?) And wait for an opening, too.
That's the hope. They're trying to get rid of the unionized TSA.
