Transportation Security Administration officers at airports nationwide are getting an unprecedented 30% pay raise, the largest bump the federal agency has ever seen.
"It was unfair and frankly unconscionable that the more than 63,000 of these outstanding TSA public servants carried out their duties for more than 20 years while being paid less than their government counterparts," Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Thursday during a press conference at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in northern Virginia.
"This is the largest federal pay bump in at least 30 years and probably ever," Thompson said."This will impact everyone at TSA, including the agency's 50,000 transportation officers who work to keep our skies secure around the clock." Pekoske said news of the raises was already having a profound impact on employee morale, particularly at a time in the year when TSA processes more airline passengers than any other time of the year.
