— Federal employees union sues government over lack of pay – Caroline Kelly (DIERSEN: All federal employees, and especially those who are not “essential” like I was, have always been viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned. If I sought a government or political office, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would viciously demonize, denigrate, and condemn the fact that I worked for GAO 1980-1997, for IRS 1971-1980, and for the Post Office 1966-1969.)
https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/31/politics/federal-workers-sue-government/index.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A federal employee labor union is suing the US government for requiring “essential” employees to work without pay during the partial government shutdown. The American Federation of Government Employees alleged Monday that the government is violating the Fair Labor Standards Act by forcing employees deemed essential to work without pay. About a quarter of the government has been affected by the shutdown, including correctional officers, Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, and transportation security officers. Across different government agencies, about 380,000 federal employees will be furloughed and 420,000 will work without pay due to the shutdown continuing into the new year.)

Since 2004, those 6,200+ emails have included links to 321,500+ articles and information on many upcoming events.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/31/opinion/smartphones-screen-time.html
