Original Resolution Honoring Transportation Security Officers for their Sacrifice and Dedication to Public Service During Federal Government Shutdowns

Key Points

• This resolution officially thanks Transportation Security Officers for continuing to work at airports during government shutdowns. It highlights that these workers stayed on the job even when they were not getting paid on time.
• The proposal points out the financial struggles many airport security workers faced during a 75-day shutdown in early 2026. Many employees live paycheck to paycheck and had to find second jobs or skip shifts to afford basic needs like rent and childcare.
• It states that forcing federal employees to work without pay is unfair and immoral. The resolution aims to show that Congress recognizes the vital role these workers play in keeping travelers safe from threats.
• This is a formal statement of opinion by the House of Representatives. It does not change any laws, provide new funding, or guarantee that future shutdowns will be avoided.
