Plain-English summary
Rights for the Transportation Security Administration Workforce Act of 2022 or the Rights for the TSA Workforce Act of 2022
This bill modifies the workplace rights, protections, and benefits applicable to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) personnel.
Specifically, the bill
- by December 31, 2022, eliminates personnel authorities of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Transportation governing the conditions of employment for TSA employees, thus making TSA employees subject to the personnel management system applicable to other federal employees;
- sets forth transition rules that protect the pay rates, leave rights, and other rights of TSA employees; and
- requires DHS to consult with the exclusive representative of TSA screening employees to carry out the conversion of those positions.
The bill also
- permits the TSA to consult with organizations representing federal air marshals to address concerns, including mental health and suicide rates;
- directs the TSA to ensure its employees are provided proper guidance regarding prevention and protections against COVID-19;
- requires the TSA to provide a one-time bonus payment of $3,000 to each TSA employee carrying out duties that require substantial contact with the public during the COVID-19 national emergency; and
- requires the Government Accountability Office to report on implementation of the bill, TSA recruitment efforts, and specified TSA personnel policies.
