They have a specific clause in their contract that in the event of a government shutdown, they can claim financial hardship and not show up. We need that in our contract.

Yep. Hopefully the Union is aware of this by now.

There was an agreement reached. Temp open is the word.

I know its maybe semantics, but I think we basically have the same thing. Ours says we can take SL for "injury" that causes us to be incapacitated. That could very well be stress, financial hardships, family emergencies, etc. The fact the controllers have to maintain a medical i think makes it much easier to have a staffing emergency much quicker than a job that works in a cubicle.

"Senior administration officials expect @realDonaldTrump to endorse short-term funding bill to reopen government in next hour. Final details being worked out in WH convos now. Unclear if 2 or 3 weeks. Border debate will continue. Stress on Govt systems was increasing."

Happy y'all will get paid! Hopefully something is hammered out in the 2-3 weeks so it's over.

Went to bed pretty pissed off about everything, woke up to ground stops and a stone indictment, followed by a sudden plan to pay us.

Sounds like a good start to my weekend.
