AI Summary
TSA union leaders are demanding an end to the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, citing severe financial hardship among airport security workers. The union officials describe TSA employees facing "empty refrigerators and eviction notices" as they work without pay during the government funding lapse.

The union pressure adds to mounting political demands for Congress and the White House to resolve the funding impasse affecting DHS operations.
