WASHINGTON — The country’s largest union representing federal workers is calling for lawmakers to pass a short-term spending measure to end the government shutdown immediately, urging Democrats to abandon their current position and join Republicans in supporting a stopgap solution.
“Both political parties have made their point, and still there is no clear end in sight,” American Federation of Government Employees President Everett Kelley
wrote in a statement first shared with NBC News. “It’s time to pass a clean continuing resolution and end this shutdown today. No half measures, and no gamesmanship.”
The statement could increase pressure on Democrats to budge from their current stance. Senate Democrats have insisted that they won’t vote to reopen the government without a commitment from Republicans and President Donald Trump on
extending health care subsidies through the Affordable Care Act, which are set to expire at the end of the year.
Good....Not that there should be such a thing as a Federal employee union to start with.
I think more pressure needs to be applied.....Maybe leak that fed employees that are currently working without pay will be the only ones getting paid after the shutdown.
