Press Release: UFCW 3000 Stands Ready to Boycott Air Travel in Response to Trump Admin’s Attack on TSA Union   

DES MOINES, WA – UFCW 3000, the largest private sector union in the Pacific Northwest, condemns the Department of Homeland Security’s decision to illegally dissolve its collective bargaining contract with 47,000 Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers organized with the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE). 

Our union views the Administration’s action as an egregious violation of workers’ basic right to participate in a democracy. TSA workers democratically voted to organize their workplace, they democratically voted to ratify their contract, and this Administration has now undemocratically silenced those voices.  

In response, our union stands ready to support any actions initiated by our union siblings in the TSA, including a boycott on air travel and work stoppages of any kind.  

“This Administration's agenda becomes clearer every day. Its goal is to eliminate all democratic institutions from our lives, plunder money from workers, and funnel as much of it as possible to the corporate and billionaire class,” said UFCW 3000 President Faye Guenther. “Workers will not allow Trump and the billionaire class to profit from the destruction of our hard-won rights.”
