Formally lay them off or just fire them.
LOL! Wouldn't that be nice - as if Federal employees can be treated just like the ones in the private sector!
Uh, nope. Can't be done.
I agree, would be best for Trump to just furlough these people, but who is forcing them to work?
Isn’t it an option?
Behold such “dedicated” and patriotic public servants; NOT!
I wonder if the guys on Omaha Beach hired an attorney or the ones at Pearl Harbor sued because their Sunday, was disturbed?
Or don’t make them work. If they are that valuable, make them “essential”
That was my thought too. I've been laid off many times when I worked heavy equipment construction. It just goes with that type of work. Lay these gov workers off then when the shutdown is over with; only hire back those who are really needed. This is a good way to get rid of a lot of the dead weight.
The government should run more like a business and less like a free ride with crazy bennies and guaranteed employment. No one outside of government has that; not even Union members although some are close.
