Threats of a Gov't Shutdown! Screw'em! Build the Wall! m/r
WASHINGTON – Rep. Gerry
Connolly (D-Va.) urged Congress before the holiday break to protect
federal workers in the event of a government shutdown, adding that a
“united” federal government under Republican leadership is “dangerous to
all living creatures.”
“They’ve
already been asked to sacrifice in a way no other group in America has
been asked to sacrifice, contributing well over $200 billion to deficit
reduction,” he said on a conference call Dec. 20 with American
Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) National President David Cox
Sr.
Congress passed a short-term continuing resolution before Christmas to keep the government open through Jan. 19.
Connolly
said federal employees have dealt with challenges such as a 16-day
government shutdown, hiring freezes and pay freezes for more than three
years. He criticized the Trump administration for presiding over “huge
attrition” for the federal workforce. Connolly argued that the
administration is intentionally not filling many vacant spots in federal
agencies in order to “shrink” the workforce and “create low morale so
productivity falls.”---
