Unions Sue Trump Administration Over Termination of TSA Bargaining Agreement

The lawsuit alleges the Department of Homeland Security's decision to revoke the contract violates constitutional rights and undermines worker protections.

• The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and other unions have filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for terminating a collective bargaining agreement for TSA officers.
• The seven-year agreement, signed in 2024, covered approximately 47,000 TSA employees and was rescinded by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem in late February 2025.
• The unions argue the move is unconstitutional, retaliatory, and a violation of the Administrative Procedures Act, citing First and Fifth Amendment infringements.
• DHS claims the agreement hindered TSA's operational efficiency and alleged misuse of union benefits, though unions dispute these claims as baseless.
• The legal challenge is part of broader union efforts to counter Trump administration policies perceived as harmful to federal workers.
