Only in Washington do they file the suit before they have a cause of action. Are they afraid that if they wait until Monday the possible shutdown will be resolved and they won’t be able to posture as the saviors of government employees?

Once again we have further evidence that absolutely NO employee of any publicly funded entity has reason or cause to be allowed to join a labor union.

None!

Public sector unions at all levels must be decertified and abolished immediately.

"“The Constitution requires an appropriation by Congress before federal dollars can be spent, no exceptions. ... Without an appropriation, the agencies simply can't spend money or incur debts by forcing employees to work.”

A leftist socialist union suddenly believes and supports the US Constitution in order to keep the paychecks coming. Where were their protests regarding ObamaCare and other unconstitutional acts by the Obama Regime? Their lawsuits and squealing should be ignored by everyone.

Sorry... you have no standing to sue the messiah of the left. No one has standing... ever.

It never ceases to amaze me how much reverence libs have for the Constitution whenever something they WANT or deem an ENTITLEMENT is in jeopardy. Man oh man, they can suddenly recite chapter and verse faster than an evangelist at a tent revival.

I just heard from a source in position to know that some military just got their paychecks - and they were cut in half!

Ha anyone heard this?

And how COULD They cut their pay PRE_shutdown??????

If this POS so-called CIC vetoes military pay - especially in time of war - he should be kicked to the curb - at the very least.

I cannot express my utter disdain for this cretin in the WH. And now he's super mad - his umpteenth vacation has been interfered with! How DARE government get in the way of his fun!

Thanks Libloather.
...says in its lawsuit that the administration has violated the Constitution's appropriations clause and the 13th Amendment by requiring employees to work without pay during a federal closure.
Careful what you wish for, AFGE.

We need to get rid of all Union Federal workers & then start on the rest of the Union workers. They think they are better than the rest of us & I’m really fed up. They should start paying for their medical like the rest of us. Our premiums keep going up & with no cost of living we are getting further & further behind.
