Shutdown? What shutdown? When it was announced that 90,000 employees of the Federal Department of Education were being furloughed, it became apparent that this shutdown business had real possibilities.

If they’re furloughing 800 thousand “non-essential” personnel, can’t they just get rid of them, if they’re “non-essential”? Save a gazillion bucks!

Not every gov worker sits behind a desk with a cushy salary. And with furlough it is specific that there is no pay during this time.

Non essential doesn’t mean not needed.

When work resumes, there will be pay for the days missed. Obama sent out a letter that says as much and that is how it has worked in the past.
It isn’t quite a furlough because people on furlough use up their vacation days to cover the lost time and then are SOL. There is no pay for days lost after that. Only a gratefulness to still have the job.

Thank you for your sacrifice! With you standing firm for the shutdown, even though you’re not being paid, there is nothing we cannot accomplish!!

You’re wrong. There will be back pay. Congress passed a law, and unless the Senate crushed it, Obastard signed it. There may be a pinch in their cash flow for a few weeks, but when the spigot reopens, big big back pay for them.

I appreciate that. I am sacrificing and so is my family but rhis nightmare called Obamacare needs to end. Wanna know something funny? The feds are hiring MORE people to make federal workers part time so that... wait for it... they don’t have to pay for benefits.
No lie.

In the 17 previous shut-downs, furloughed federal workers have always been paid for the days they weren’t working. Look it up.
To: Cyber Liberty
Yes, I know they will be paid. ??? That’s what I said.
