The Transportation Security Administration has renewed efforts to terminate the 2024 collective bargaining agreement covering roughly 47,000 screeners — a move Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has formalized — and announced a new labor framework effective Jan. 11, 2026. The agency also suspended the union despite a federal judges recognition order.

Briefing
The action rescinds the 2024 CBA covering about 47,000 TSA screening officers and institutes a new labor framework effective Jan. 11, 2026, directly altering workforce terms, resource allocation and frontline staffing at airports.
The union representing those officers was suspended despite a federal judge ordering recognition; that legal uncertainty, combined with prior operational strain reflected in DHSs announcement on bonuses and back pay, increases the risk of staffing and passenger-processing disruptions for airports and carriers.
