I know several contractors who in bread lines bc of it too. The press stopped covering but those who Trump GOP voted NO on paying ppl they had contracts with. That's breaking the contract.
They provide a service, govt payment for the service.
Get this restored.

Thousands of low-wage federal contractors shouldn't have to feel the harsh burden created by this president's shutdown. I support fair compensation for them and am calling on the GOP to do the same.https://thinkprogress.org/90-democrats-one-lone-republican-sign-onto-a-bill-giving-back-pay-to-contract-workers-4ed1b943b79c/ …

Looks like the Democrats lied. Republican tax reform made our tax code even more progressive than before.http://snip.ly/93p484#https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/the-big-news-of-tax-filing-season-middle-class-tax-cuts …

Negative. No work, no pay. That should have included congress and the 800,000 that did not work. The ones that did work (coast guard, TSA, etc) should get paid.

Kamala, you had a wonderful opportunity to resolve the shutdown & be a bit of a heroine to your base, + Rep & Dem Parties. First, you know there will be $ for a barrier. Second, you pick up the phone, conference
@SpeakerPelosi &@SenSchumer. Third, decide to give $ to Trump. -
He gets no money for a wall, sorry. He should have taken the $20 billion deal last year. 4x the cash - for this "emergency". Sure, Jan.

Of they were Union they would most likely be getting back pay. Their employers will still get paid.

..and may we please add a "shut down escrow account" to collect a 30 days salary cushion fund for all federal contractor employees? So there will be salary coverage for future shutdowns?
