Federal contract workers are some of the most vulnerable to hardship as a result of a government shutdown and, historically, they have not received back pay once the government reopens. We’re fighting to ensure they aren’t penalized for a shutdown they didn’t cause.pic.twitter.com/6TvwoACU4f

That’s just plain BS, federal employees do get back pay, a lot of times in past shut down the government issued IOU,s in which most financial institutions honored.

The Senator refers to federal contract workers, not federal employees. But you are correct that the federal employees almost always get back pay.

Well do something about it. Support the wall. You are responsible for the shut down & hardship if you just complain & do nothing. Its like watching a child drown & doing nothing about it but complain. Is that who you are?

We can all get behind that given dems unwillingness to protect Americans and negotiate a plan previously supported in past. We wish you could all feel the pain of not getting pay for not doing your job. It wouldn’t matter with the riches you have amassed from your public service!

Gov't should issue interest free credit cards to ALL furloughed employees. Why not? This is part of the humanitarian crisis.

We send our heartfelt sympathies from England to all US government employees who will not get paid today because
@potus wants to build a wall which he said Mexico would pay for.#shutdown#BorderWall
