Back to EpisodesAir Traffic Controllers, TSA Agents: Pawns in Shutdown Chess
Description
Congress repeatedly fails to pass legislation ensuring air traffic controllers and TSA agents are paid during government shutdowns, despite bipartisan support for bills like the Aviation Funding Stability Act and Keep America Flying Act. These shutdowns cause significant disruptions, with workers feeling like pawns in a political game, and morale plummeting. Pressure is mounting from over sixty groups advocating for bipartisan fixes, but until public outrage builds, this cycle of shutdown pain and forgotten promises is likely to continue.
