'Empty refrigerators and eviction notices': TSA union leaders demand end to DHS shutdown - Fox Business

TSA union leaders are demanding an end to the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, citing severe financial hardship among airport security workers. The union officials describe TSA employees facing "empty refrigerators and eviction notices" as they work without pay during the government funding lapse. The shutdown directly impacts thousands of TSA workers who are required to continue working at airports nationwide despite not receiving paychecks. This creates potential risks for airport security operations as financially stressed workers may call in sick or seek other employment. The union pressure adds to mounting political demands for Congress and the White House to resolve the funding impasse affecting DHS operations.
