Federal employees in Philadelphia stood in the face of dismissals last month, and now, when they are approaching the government, some are in the face of the reality of the need to work through it.
If you turn off It comes to implementation, this would represent “fear, anxiety and insult to injuries” for some employees of the Philadelphia regulation service, recognized as “necessary” federal employees who will have to continue working without remuneration, said Alex Jay Berman, who represents IRS employees in the city.
“If it closes, how do you still enter work? Where does the money for gas come from? How do you go to work when you may not have Copay for your doctor if you get sick? ” – asked Berman, executive vice president of the National Treasury of Union employees 71.
“We just want to be able to do our work and be able to properly do our work,” he said. “This requires proper financing of the government without this game.”
And now the only way federal employees could avoid closing, which would mean It seems that the above remuneration seems to be by the expenditure account, directed by the Republicans – a party that created significant shocks in the federal government and its working force through massive layoffs and cuts of expenses Ordered by the administration of President Donald Trump and government department Elon Musk.
The American Chamber adopted legislation 217-213 on Tuesday, mainly along the party lines. Now it is in the hands of the Senate, in which at least eight democrats are needed to adopt a law that would finance the government until September. Senator John Fetterman (D., PA) said he was going to vote for the bill on opening the government.
The expenditure act, known to legislators as CR, is now in the hands of the Democrats Senate who are wondering whether to vote on a law that prevents partial closing of the government. Some in the club are worried that the closing will add to the chaos, which Doge creates in the federal working force. Others do not want the democrats to be blamed for closing. If the contract is not reached, some federal employees will have to continue working without remuneration until they end in exclusion, while others can be twisted and the resources may be tense.
Phil Glover, the national vice president of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) District 3, which supervises federal employees in Pennsylvania and Delaware, said that the union wants to avoid closing, citing the need to further receive remuneration. But he would also like the Democrats to “fight for our rights”, including employees of the Transport Security Administration who were deprived of key protection of unions last Friday.
Lashand Palmer, president of Local 333 AFGE, who represents the employees of TSA at the international airport in Philadelphia and the Wilmington airport, opposes the closure, remembering the fee of the previous cessation of employees. She said that TSA employees – already desperate by the decision of the Internal Security Department to disassemble the rights to collective negotiations – prepare the potential effects of being Frylolic.
Palmer said the relationship reaches septa and food banks in the event that PHL employees cannot afford to travel to work or feed their families without constant income.
“In situations that we should never be government employees,” said Palmer.
President Philadelphia Afl-Cio: “The devil is absolutely in detail”
In a letter to the members of the Chamber in front of their voice, the national President of AFGE Everett Kelley emphasized the damage to the closing of the government against American public opinion and its federal labor force. Kelley wrote in a letter that AFGE supports a bill that contains the language of the Doge scares and restoring to employees.
It is very unlikely to be implemented with the Republican Trigecta. Tim Kauffman, a spokesman for AFGE, could not comment outside the letter or AFGE supports the invoice that does not contain these provisions.
“[It] He assumes the necessary services that the American people rely on, violates national security, deprives millions of military staff and federal civilian employees of their income, and hurts more and more fragile American economy, “Kelley wrote about potential closure.
Danny Bauder, President of the Council of Philadelphia Afl-Cio, who includes about 15 local unions for federal employees in Philadelphia, noticed that he carefully observes the headquarters of AFGE and would postpone any final judgment in the CR case.
“This is something in which the devil is absolutely in detail when it comes to CR,” said Bauder. “What will be best for federal employees will be where I would fall in love with it.”
He also expressed disappointment with a system that once again led the federal government to the edge of the closure.
“It’s shameful that our government works this way,” he said. “We are forced to nauseal, do these CR every six months.”
