There are options besides striking. Since the union, itself, cannot call a strike, TSA workers need to stage actions independent of the union. Slowdowns at major hubs would be the most effective. It would ripple through the industry as either people miss connections or the airlines delay flights. Calling in sick is another option. The safest way to slow down the line would be to check carryon bags meticulously. Also, Have people walk through those silly machines several times. Eventually, the lines will back up and flights will be delayed. Baggage is another pressure point. Flights can’t leave if bags aren’t loaded and they can’t be loaded unless they are screened.
