该局表示,要求工作人员站着检查证件是一项“受欢迎的变化”。但代表他们的工会对此并不欢迎。
The agency said that requiring agents to stand while examining documents was a “welcome change.”The union representing them was less welcoming.
下次你在机场交出“Real ID”身份证件接受查验时,负责检查证件的美国运输安全管理局工作人员可能会站着,而不是坐着。
The next time you hand over your Real ID to be checked at the airport, the Transportation Security Administration agent who examines it might be standing rather than sitting.
美国运输安全管理局最近下令作出这一调整,希望旅客在机场接受安检时能获得更加专注和友好的服务。然而,代表超过4.5万名工作人员的工会反对这一决定。
The T.S.A. ordered that change recently in the hope that it will result in a more attentive and hospitable experience for travelers during the airport screening process. But the agency is receiving resistance from the union that represents more than 45,000 agents.
美国运输安全管理局负责在全美450个商业机场对旅客和行李进行安检,并于上周作出了这一决定。
The T.S.A., which is responsible for screening passengers and baggage at 450 commercial airports across the United States, made the decision last week.
该局在周三的一份声明中表示:“承担旅行证件查验职责的运输安全管理局工作人员是首先与旅客接触的人员。这项受欢迎的变化让工作人员站着履责并保持警觉,从而强化我们的安全措施,同时体现我们热情待客的承诺。”
“T.S.A. officers performing the travel document checker role are the first to interact with the traveling public,” the T.S.A. said in a statement on Wednesday. “This welcome change reinforces both our security posture and our commitment to hospitality by having these officers on their feet and alert.”
该局表示,工作人员必须达到履职适任标准,以确保他们在履行关键国家安全职能的同时,还能为旅客营造热情友好且专业的环境。代表全美运输安全管理局工作人员的美国政府雇员联合会第100理事会对这一举措表示反对。
The agency said officers must meet “fitness for duty requirements to be capable of performing their vital national security function while simultaneously creating a welcoming and professional environment for travelers.”Council 100 of the American Federation of Government Employees, the union that represents T.S.A. agents across the country, has pushed back on the move.
