TSA absentee rate still high, but down from Sunday's peak
By The Associated Press
January 16, 2019
TSA officials say the rate of airport screeners missing work during the partial government shutdown has stabilized just days before a three-day holiday weekend that is likely to bring bigger airport crowds.
The Transportation Security Administration said Wednesday that 6.1 percent of its airport screeners missed work Tuesday.
That’s nearly double the absentee rate on the same day last year but the second-straight decline after the sick-out rate surged to 7.7 percent Sunday.
A TSA official said screeners this week should have received $500 bonuses and, for some, an extra day’s pay, for working over the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.
