ARTICLE 10: PARKING
A. PURPOSE: TSA has determined that providing full parking subsidies for TSA bargaining unit
employees at their airport duty stations is necessary to attract and retain qualified security
screening personnel and to avoid significant impairment of TSA’s operating efficiency at the
nation’s airports. The Parties recognize the value of subsidizing bargaining unit employees
parking costs based on the varied schedule requirements of the workforce.
B. Management will provide full parking subsidies to bargaining unit employees who park in
designated lot(s)/areas at their airport duty stations (i.e., the bargaining unit employee will have
no out-of-pocket expense).
C. TSA will provide full parking subsidies for bargaining unit employees as set forth in Section
B of this Article beginning within two (2) full pay periods of the date that the bargaining unit
employee submits their required paperwork for the subsidy.
D. To be eligible for parking subsidies, a bargaining unit employee must comply with the
requirements of the parking subsidy program. TSA will provide bargaining unit employees
requesting parking subsidies with electronic access to the bargaining unit employee
requirements of the parking subsidy program. Parking provider rules may vary by specific
airport parking locations.
E. LOCAL BARGAINING OVER PARKING, INCLUDING UNION PARKING:
1. The Parties understand that AFGE and TSA are permitted to bargain locally over parking
facilities and shuttle service consistent with Article 13: Bargaining.
2. Unless and until a local agreement is reached and in effect consistent with Article 13:
Bargaining, the Parties will adhere to the following:
a. At every CAT X and CAT I airport, TSA will provide one parking space for union use
as close as practicable to the airport. This allocation cannot be reduced as a result of
local bargaining.
b. Direct payment by the Union representative and subsequent reimbursement by the
Agency is an acceptable method for satisfying the requirement of this Section.
c. “As close as practicable” does not include valet parking and/or curbside parking.
d. If there is an issue or concern about the provision of the one parking space for union
use, the AFGE Council 100 President or designee will promptly raise the issue or
concern with the TSA Director of Labor Relations or designee. This does not waive the
right to file a grievance.
