· Federal employees are being forced to work without pay
· Federal contractors no furlough are likely to see no income for the time they were told to stay out of work
· President Trump has just cancelled an across-the-board cost of living increase for most federal employees.
The Trump Administration is giving hundreds of its political employees $10,000 raises.
To me this is the essence of elitists in government who have no respect for ordinary working Americans. And can anyone suggest a more tone deaf time to roll this out?
The govt shut down does not stop govt employees from getting raises. Their raises will be in their back pay. Odd, stretch to get a story, but wapo is fake news, so… Silly in fact…
Govt employees will get their pay and back pay. If they are due for a raise during the shut down it will be in the back pay check. Not that hard to grasp…
I know you’re you but did you miss the part where Trump has canceled their cost of living raises two years in a row and now his appointees are getting ten grand extra a year?
Most Republicans should cheer this. Erase cost of living pay raises for the rank and file while the wealthy political appointees shove an extra $10,000 per year into their pockets. They were never for the Forgotten Man. It’s always about shoveling more money to the top.
