During this Great Government Shutdown we see some government workers sent home to await their eventual paychecks while others are considered essential personnel and are still hard at work.
Seems mighty unfair that at the end of the shutdown, the non-essential will get full back pay while those who worked will get the same and little acknowledgement for their loyalty and effort.
If I might make a suggestion to the powers that be, after the shutdown ends, those who were considered essential personnel and actually worked during the shutdown should get a 15 percent bonus while those who stayed at home should get a 15 percent reduction. Also, those who were working and called in sick or took time out should also have those particular pay hours reduced by 15 percent so as to give them a reason to not abuse sick leave or vacation time at a moment when they are really needed.
Let’s get a little fairness here for the working class.
