On May 12, 2022, the House of Representatives rejected a proposed amendment to H.R. 903, the Rights for the TSA Workforce Act of 2022, by a vote of 204–216. The underlying bill sought to transition Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees into the standard federal personnel system, granting them the same collective bargaining rights and civil service protections as most other federal workers. The vote on this specific amendment followed strict party lines, with 201 Republicans voting in favor and 214 Democrats voting against. Because the amendment failed, the bill proceeded toward a final vote without the proposed changes.
