TSA is removing chairs from checkpoints, said the American Federation of Government Employees TSA Council 100, which represents workers and criticized the move as a “disregard for workers’ rights and safety" and added the chairs “serve as basic ergonomic and safety support for officers that stand and walk on hard surfaces all day.”
TSA confirmed the decision, saying: “This welcome change reinforces both our security posture and our commitment to hospitality by having these officers on their feet and alert. All officers must meet fitness for duty requirements to be capable of performing their vital national security function.”
They already have chairs, they are going to take them away and probably throw them in a dumpster
Nah, it’s the government. They’ll pay for a warehouse to store them and a security company to guard the warehouse.
The excess property process is a bitch.
It didn’t use to be. That’s how army surplus stores became a thing, and then how it suddenly wasn’t a thing anymore.
