A parent of one of my children’s classmates is an Air Traffic Controller. He has been complaining that he ‘hasn’t been paid in the last 2 weeks’. Is this the truth or are Air Traffic Controllers being paid?
Depends. If they ran out of funds and can't use anything past 09/30, then they got paid through 09/30 and that paycheck was most likely received this last Thursday. It may not have been a full paycheck for them. Anything they worked after 09/30, they will receive as back-pay once the dimwitted democraps figure out they won't win and sign funding.
