Screw the RATS. At this point accept ONLY a continuing resolution.
That’s enough of a reason to veto it.
Federal um, workers are fed up with having to telework with no pay? Fine, pay em.
Still unhappy fine give em a raise.
And pay all Fed contractors back pay while your at it after all Money grows on Taxpayers, right?
How wonderful for them. They mess the country over and get a raise. Some of us peons haven’t had a raise in 14 years.
Must be nice. I work in the private sector. I got a 1.6% increase with a side order of “it’s a matter of time before you’re laid off”. Many friends got no increase at all. Some more got laid off.
Why a increase to federal workers to avoid a shutdown. Federal workers have no say over whether a shutdown occurs.
I could see an increase after then next shutdown (if it comes to that!) as a “bribe” for good behavior. As part of a negotiating & settlement tactic.
This offer is a bunch of crap! Why should these Federal leeches get a damned raise!? The President should stiff-arm the deal.
Hey disgruntled federal workers: thanks to President Trump unemployment is at record low levels. Tired of uncertainty? Get a job in the real world, they are plentiful now. Otherwise STFU and look forward to your gigantic budget reaking pension that nobody outside government gets anymore.
The perosn holding the “we want to work” sign is an obvious liar. What she likely means is we wan to get paid for siting around, sneering at Citizens who have the nerve to bother us and watch porn. pathetic.
I got a $100 raise in my pay and told I was doing a good job.
Never had a skimpy raise like that or some change $50 Christmas bonus either.
These guys deserve a 1.9% increase?
KcuF man...that could be thousands more per year for many of these 6 figure loafs...
Its a sop....
Trump is not going to sign this due to the immigration poison pills in it.
So Dems get to tell .gov workers that Trump took away thier pay raise.
~ 75% of the time, that's an oxymoron
What’s the bill number (HR-xxxx) of this abomination?
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
