White House Draft Memo Suggests No Guaranteed Back Pay for Furloughed Federal Workers Amid Shutdown

Trump Watch 👀Oct 9, 2025
🚨 Trump says some furloughed federal workers might not get back pay. That’s flat-out illegal. The Government Employee Fair Treatment Act (2019) guarantees automatic pay during shutdowns. Ignoring it is punishing workers 4 politics. #TrumpWatch #BackPay #FederalWorkers www.govexec.com/pay-benefits...

Trump administration’s claims ...
Trump administration’s claims against automatic furloughed worker backpay lack legal, historical basis

Experts say the White House’s new theory that the 2019 Government Employee Fair Treatment Act does not guarantee feds backpay following a shutdown fails a basic tenet of legal analysis.

White House Draft Memo Suggests No Guaranteed Back Pay for Furloughed Federal Workers Amid Shutdown

It’s not just a memo, it’s a signal. The state’s testing how far it can push labor precarity—turning public service into disposable gig work while pretending budget constraints are natural law, not political choice.

#MafiaDon threatens to (break the law... that HE SIGNED, and) not pay #BackPay to "some" furloughed gov't workers.

"How will you decide who doesn't get back pay?" he was asked by reporters.

"Those WHO DESERVE IT, we'll take care of. And those who don't, WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THEM SOME OTHER WAY." #DonCapone 🤬

2/ #Trump said #furloughed workers may or may not receive #backpay, depending on who they are, adding that “we’re going to take care of our people,” but some “don’t deserve to be taken care of” and would be handled differently. #loyalty #maga #republicans #authoritarian #purity #test #economy #paycheck #shutdown #government #dangerous #media #journalism #reporting Talk About This Please
