H.R. 903 - 117th Congress (2021-2022) - Rights for the TSA Workforce Act of 2021

within 180 days, eliminates personnel authorities of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Transportation governing the conditions of employment for TSA employees, thus making TSA employees subject to the personnel management system applicable to other federal employees;
sets forth transition rules that protect the pay rates, leave rights, and other rights of TSA employees; and
requires DHS to consult with the labor organization certified by the Federal Labor Relations Authority to carry out the conversion of such positions.

The bill also

directs the TSA to consult with public and private entities associated with the Federal Air Marshal Service to address concerns regarding federal air marshals, including mental health and suicide rates;
prohibits TSA employees from using or installing the social media video application TikTok on U.S. government-issued mobile devices;
requires DHS to prioritize the hiring of veterans, including disabled veterans; and
directs the TSA to ensure its employees are provided proper guidance regarding prevention and protections against the coronavirus (i.e., the virus that causes COVID-19).
