Anyone in this suite? Wondering because state labor laws are generally a 1,000-3,000 fine for EACH time pay was not provided on agreed upon terms. Government Must Pay Damages to 25,000 Feds Who Worked During 2013 Shutdown
I’ve called, I’ve emailed, I’ve written, I’ve leafletted, I still come to work. Each day I come to work, my morale is lower than the day before. I’ve lost complete faith/hope that either party even cares. More than that, I think both parties enjoy making us suffer, to an extant. Republicans can say, “look what the Dems are doing to federal employees!” and the Dems say the same about the Reps. I love my job and I’m proud to be a controller. It takes so much work, as you all know. And the responsibility is great. If there were no air traffic controllers, this country would come to a halt. To be treated like a pawn for leverage makes me feel like we don’t matter at all. Cardi B made the news about the shutdown more than any of us did. Safety will never be compromised but man if this doesn’t suck. I hope we all have paychecks next week. And I hope there is some sort of legislation passed so that this never happens again.
Ya this is why I've never donated to the PAC and never will. Money in politics is a big part of the problem and obviously "the money gets us face time" arguement is bullshit. Your face time isn't doing jack shit to get me a paycheck. Throwing a thousand bucks at a dude who campaigns on 500 dollar plus a plate fundraiser dinners and spends half his week making phone calls to donors instead of writing legislation for say..... A fucking budget isn't doing anything for us.

You can do anything once!Why doesn't everybody go on strike?
Google “Ronald Reagan PATCO”Why doesn't everybody go on strike?

My apologies- Not getting paid for a month has diminished made my ability to sense sarcasm!too soon?
While we're on the subject. Might I recommend Dave Ramsey's 'Total Money Makeover'?My apologies- Not getting paid for a month has diminished made my ability to sense sarcasm!
Again, you think your piddly little bit of bribe money is gonna come into play there, yet they can't even get us paid on time (the most basic of benefits-timely pay)? The politicians don't care about us peasants, if it's politically expedient or benificial to them to do something they'll do it, if not their gonna fuck us like they are doing now. Your PAC donations may as well be monopoly money for all they care.You know that they still make all the decisions regarding our benefits though right? Even if it's not according to our optimal schedule? Like yeah, this sucks, but don't try to use this to justify sitting back and letting everyone else make sacrifices on your behalf.

I'm so tired of people who stand up at union events and in conversations like this act like martyrs for donating to the PAC. It doesn't make you a hero, it makes you a sucker playing into a shitty system.
