Travel Industry Coalition Launches Campaign to Ensure Pay for Federal Aviation Workers
A coalition of travel industry groups, led by the U.S. Travel Association, has launched a new campaign called "Let's Go F.A.A.R." The primary goal is to urge Congress to pass legislation that guarantees pay for federal aviation workers during any government shutdowns. This includes essential personnel from the FAA, TSA, and Customs and Border Protection. The campaign emphasizes that these employees are critical to the safety and efficiency of the U.S. travel system. It highlights the significant disruptions and economic harm caused by past shutdowns, arguing that the pay for these vital workers should not be used as a political bargaining chip.
