Скачать или смотреть TSA Employees Receive $10K Bonuses: Noem's Controversial Move

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem's visit to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport sparked controversy as she delivered bonus checks to select TSA employees. This move, a gesture of appreciation for working unpaid during the government shutdown, has the union questioning its legality.
Noem personally handed out $10,000 bonuses to 48 TSA officers, but the Local 899 Airport Screeners Union claims the process was illegal and excluded 93% of the workforce. Union treasurer Neal Gosman argues that nearly all TSOs showed up during the shutdown, and the bonus distribution bypassed local management and union participation.
Despite the controversy, TSA officers like Jonathan Pringle and Alex Garcia express gratitude for the financial support. Pringle highlights the impact of the bonus, while Garcia's dedication to public safety is rooted in his Marine Corps service.
