Not true. There is no promise that the civilians will be paid back pay.

Have they ever not received their back pay?

It’s different this time.

There is a very good chance that this will be different and that we WILL NOT RECEIVE any back pay. In addition, after the current 22 week furlough is completed, they are talking of bringing every back for 2 weeks and then DOING IT ALL OVER AGAIN FOR ALL OF FISCAL YEAR 2014. You still want to see good people out of work because the idiot in the WH?
