    It's against the law for furloughed federal employees to ignore the #shutdown and volunteer their time.http://on.wsj.com/19khW9r

        @neuromusic @WSJ it's dumb that NIH post-docs can't go to work in their labs for no pay because Congress shut down the gov't

        @dgermain21 @WSJ it makes sense to me. Liability issues, labor rights. Plus, not much of a shutdown if the work still gets done.

        @neuromusic if they can still go in on federal holidays when 'rest of govt is off', then liability/labor issues seem moot to me

        @neuromusic the key to the anti-def act is that volunteer work can't TAKE THE PLACE OF the paid work

        @WSJ As I understand, it's an issue of back-pay; ie, there's the fear of a dispute. "He volunteered!" "I expected back-pay!"
