Anyone hear of a TSA strike at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport over govt shutdown?

The Hill is reporting it. I'm always a little leary of their "news."

It's not a strike - they're not allowed to strike - but there is a protest. The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2019 #1

The Hill is usually pretty credible. W_HAMILTON Jan 2019 #2

The article the Hill story links to describes a protest (not a strike) emulatorloo Jan 2019 #3

I think they are supposed to be somewhat right-leaning and they may "editorialize" headlines like this one, but what they report is usually accurate.

I don’t see anything about a strike in either story. Both describe it as a protest.
