[quote=Anonymous]Be careful Feds--new article in the WaPo today about threats to not pay federal workers post-shutdown.   This isn't the first time that the Trump admin has indicated that Federal workers won't get paid despite it being the law to do so following a shutdown.

The Trump administration is sending notifications to federal staff suggesting only those who are working during the government shutdown will be paid when it ends, despite a 2019 law that guarantees pay to furloughed employees, too.

“Once an appropriation or continuing resolution is enacted, excepted employees are entitled to receive payment,” read one message sent to some portions of the government and obtained by The Washington Post. That sentence — which leaves out furloughed workers — was not included in the first furlough notice issued last month, according to an employee who, like others interviewed, spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution.
