Federal workers protest shutdown outside McConnell's local office in Kentucky
Federal workers furloughed or forced to work without pay during the partial government shutdown protested outside of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R) office in Louisville, Ky. Thursday.
The American Federation of Government Employees' local chapter organized about 50 people to join the rally outside of McConnell’s downtown office, the Louisville Courier Journal reported.
The federal workers held signs saying “We Want to Work” and “End the Shutdown Now,” nearly three weeks after the Dec. 22 shutdown was triggered over President Trump’s demand for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
McConnell earlier Thursday blocked two House-passed funding bills to reopen the federal government.
