It depends which furloughed workers will get back pay

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump claimed that some federal employees who were issued for free leave during the closure of the government would not receive repayment after returning to work.

This statement came hours after the distribution of a White House statement, which argues that the repayments of federal employees devoted to free leave were not guaranteed.

Note reported by first Axios and approved NBC News This statement by the White House seems to be contradicting the recent directions of the Trump administration. US Personnel Management Office, closure guide In the document published last month, the funding time ended at the end of the free leave will be paid backward payment of the workers said.

A federal lawTrump signed after the closure of the last government in 2019 also signed, the US government employees issued free permission “payment for the delay time in allowances will be paid” said.

A White House official told Axios that the administration’s opinion does not automatically cover the accumulated salaries of employees on leave, and that the Congress should allocate these funds.

When asked about unpaid wages at the White House on Tuesday afternoon, Trump said, “I can say that it depends on who we’re talking about.”

President, in his speech with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the Oval Office, Trump and Republicans are currently responsible for the closure of the 7th day, “many people put great risk and endanger,” he said.

“But that actually depends on who you are talking about,” he said. “We will often take care of our people.”

“There are some people who don’t really deserve to be interested, and we’ll take care of them in a different way,” Trump added.

When asked why some workers should not get unpaid wages, “this question is a problem with the democrats,” he said.

The signal of the administration on the unpaid salaries of the workers was seen as an attempt to increase the pressure of Republicans to vote for a draft law bill that would maintain government financing by the end of November by the end of November.

Previously, the administration warned that closure would soon lead to permanent dismissal of thousands of federal employees, as in the past fund deductions in the past.

The question of how many permanent work will disappear on Tuesday, Trump said that he could say, “If this goes on in four or five days,” he said.

“This will be important and most of these things will never come back,” he added. “But in fact you will be much closer to a balanced budget.”

The Democrats ignored these threats, claiming that the administration has already been trying to reduce the federal labor force since Trump took office in January.

They also want any short -term decision to include the extension of increased premium tax loans that will end at the end of the year under the economic care law. In the Senate, Republicans with a majority of 53 seats need at least seven more votes to overcome the fraud of the Assembly.

The management’s review of unpaid wages led to the harsh reaction of the American Public Employees Federation, a large Federal Union.

AFGE President Everett Kelley said in a statement, “Federal employees are not guaranteed to reimbursement within the scope of the law of fair treatment for state employees, the meaningless claim is the obvious misinterpretation of the law.” he said.

“This also says that the Trump administration is not consistent with its own guidance only a few days ago, this is clearly and accurately that employees will receive retrospective wages for the time they are unemployed as soon as possible when the closure ends.”

Kelley said, “As we said before, the patriotic Americans who serve their countries in the federal government are not a bargaining trump card in a political game,” Kelley said. “It is time to stop these attacks on federal employees and the Congress came together and solve their differences and end this closure.”
