- 5 years ago
Airports are dealing with massive lines due to the government shutdown.
The shutdown began on Saturday, December 22.
TSA employees are part of the government, so they're affected and working without pay. But TSA staffers are calling out of work.
At Dallas/Fort Worth, the call-out rate has increased by as much as 300%. A rep for the TSA workers union says they aren't calling out intentionally. The TSA staffers simply can't afford to get to work.
