HOUSE APPROVES BACK PAY!!!!

Furloughed government workers can smile now because it looks like they will be getting paid for their days off!

 

NBCNews reports:

The House on Saturday unanimously approved legislation to guarantee retroactive pay for furloughed federal workers after the government shutdown ends. The vote was 407-0.

The back pay measure was introduced by Democrat Jim Moran of Northern Virginia, which has one of the country’s highest populations of federal workers.

“The issue is fairness,”  Moran said on the House floor. “It’s just wrong for hundreds of thousands of federal employees not to know whether they’re going to be able to make their mortgage payment, not to know whether they’re going to be able to provide for their families.”

The Senate is in session on Saturday afternoon and could try to approve the retroactive pay bill unanimously.

 

Now we just have to wait for the Senate to make it “official”!
