A few weeks of no pay and they will start finding better jobs. And with their background checks it won’t be hard.

This more than anything will cause the republicans to fold.

If we had strong union support in this country they could just refuse to show up. The French would.

So are ALL air traffic controllers, too. I really think those guys should walk off the job, right now. Can you imagine the uproar ? But then, maybe the shut-down would end.

But it is still extremely inconvenient and there is a cost.

Border Patrol, Customs all face the same problem.

It also takes week after the resolution to straighten it out

Also lots of benefits like health insurance etc ate payroll deductions and they go unpaid.
