US EditionAirline Passengers Are Frustrated and Want Federal Government Shutdown to End
The American Federation of Government Employees urges Congress to pass a clean funding resolution to end the shutdown affecting 900,000 federal workers.
- On Monday, Everett Kelly, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, urged lawmakers in Congress to pass a short-term spending bill to end the shutdown, representing over 800,000 workers.
- The shutdown began on Oct. 1 and has furloughed about 900,000 federal workers, while Senate Democrats resisted a clean resolution to extend enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits for more than 20 million Americans.
- The U.S. Senate failed to advance Sen. Ron Johnson's bill, losing 53-45 and needing 60 votes to overcome the filibuster, with Majority Leader John Thune flipping his vote to no.
- On the ground, Kelly emphasized federal workers are missing paychecks and seeking food aid, saying `Because when the folks who serve this country are standing in line for food banks after missing a second paycheck because of this shutdown, they aren't looking for partisan spin`.
- Kelly urged immediate passage of a clean resolution, writing `It's time to pass a clean continuing resolution and end this shutdown today` as the U.S. Senate reconvenes at 3 p.m. ET on Monday.
