Trump appealed to federal workers awaiting salary
Considering the fact that hundreds of thousands of federal workers faced another shatdown, and as a result did not receive salaries, President Trump thanked the “great patriots” for their service and dedication on the 30 day of the partial closure of the government.
On Sunday evening, Trump tweeted: “To all the wonderful people who work so hard for their country and don't get paid, I say THANK YOU - YOU ARE GREAT PATRIOTS! We must now work together, after decades of abuse, to finally end the humanitarian, criminal and opioid crisis at our border. A GREAT VICTORY IS AWAITING FOR OUR!”
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees are among the approximately 460 federal employees who work without pay. This year, at the agency more often than usual, workers did not replace them during the shatdaun. Now the agency reports that employees are massively dismissed, as they have no opportunity to get to the workplace.
According to the survey, "many employees report that they cannot work due to financial constraints."
Indeed, the agency said that on Saturday, 8 percent of employees did not return to work compared to 3 percent a year ago.
Due to the shortage of workers, the agency had to close the check zones at some airports, including the Tergud-Marshall International Airport in Baltimore / Washington, where “checkpoint A” was closed on Saturday.
However, the TSA reported that on Saturday, 99,9% of passengers waited less than 30 minutes and 93,8% waited less than 15 minutes.
Democrats and Republicans have not yet found a consensus to break the deadlock.
The eve of trump proposed temporarily extend immigration status for young immigrants who illegally entered the country as children (DACA), and those who leave the disaster zone, in exchange for 5,7 billion dollars behind the wall at the US border.
Partial suspension of the US government (shatdaun) continues on the 31 day. This is 18 and the longest shatdaun in the history of the country. Government employees forced look for a variety of part-time jobsto feed their families.
