Yes exactly like that one. EVERY ONE OF THOSE EMPLOYEES GOT BACK PAY
in spite of a lot of them not working. On these "shutdowns", part of
the deal that finally gets hammered down on the hill is that the AFGE
members get their back pay whether they actually came to work or not.
Most stay home. That is part of the "Close the Washington Monument"
blackmail that shutting down the government imposes on the citizens.
They usually target the most visible agencies and then the news media
hypes it up. They bury the story that these people actually get their
money on the back of the social page, if it gets covered at all,

Yes, they got paid retroactively. Millions were effected. Guess
what'll happen if the debt ceiling isn't increased. Do you think Fed
employees are going to get paid for that retroactively?

I can't speak for every shutdown but usually the checks or EFTs never
stop. It is harder to stop them than to let them keep coming. Everyone
knows they will get paid eventually anyway.

Did you read the story?
"In all, 28 days saw a partial government shutdown. The second lapse
was the longest in history at 22 days. The effects and consequences
were temporary even though millions of people were effected."

"The effect was TEMPORARY" They got paid.


Again you still have not talked about anyone LOSING their job in a
layoff.

I guess when the OPM creates a publication to address it, it must not
have happened.

Did you read it? It is all about how other agencies will absorb the
RIFed workers, exactly as I have been saying.

Another article defining how you reassign RIFed employees


I guess when Reagan fired the air traffic controllers they got their
jobs/money back.

I guess this author is just making things up...

The PATA employees violated their contract and DID NOT SHOW UP.
(remember that was one of the rare instances where I said you could
get fired). This should have caused them all to be fired immediately.
Most ended up getting their job back anyway.


Never happens at the EPA...

Certainly not at NASA...

And on and on...

Next time do your own Google search!

You are again just finding cases where people lost their desks and it
goes into great detail explaining how they got relocated.

You claimed that federal workers don't get fired. I provided numerous
examples. Sorry if you can't handle it.
