A Transportation Security Officer at Miami International Airport, John Hubert, has spoken about the struggles of working without pay amid the ongoing partial government shutdown. Despite the financial strain on TSA officers, Hubert remains committed to his job. The shutdown, which began on Feb. 14 due to lack of congressional funding, continues to impact workers nationwide. Despite a vote down a bill to advance DHS funding, Huber remains committed by his union to providing food, gift cards, and gas assistance to ease the pressure. He also mentioned that the shutdown has made creditors more unforgiving and that people are no longer paying attention to furlough notices.
