‘Put Working People First’: Unions Respond to Government Shutdown | AFL-CIO

AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler issued the following statement after the federal government’s funding expired at midnight and a shutdown began:

"The National Air Traffic Controllers Association (#NATCA) said Wednesday that the government shutdown will weaken the country’s airspace system."
“The increased stress and fatigue that comes from working long hours without pay cannot be overstated. […] Despite the shutdown, there is one thing that will not change — air traffic controllers are incredibly proud of the public service they provide, and they will answer the bell without fail.” – NATCA Pres. Nick Daniels
