He worked 64 hours this pay period. Here's what his pay stub looks like
He worked 64 hours this pay period. Here's what his pay stub looks like
Take, for instance, William Striffler, an air traffic controller at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey.
He gave CNN permission to use this image of his pay stub. During this particular pay period, Striffler worked 64 hours. The amount listed under "net pay?" $0.00.
Working long hours without getting paid is a tough thing to deal with, Striffler said.
"We've been working knowing that it was coming, and when it hit yesterday, it really hit," he told CNN's Poppy Harlow.
Striffler's wife is pregnant. She's due to have a baby (a girl) next week.

Maybe he can get a job doing dog walking, or cut his food expense in half. You know, "make adjustments," like Trump advised.
This is so sad. He has a good job. He even worked some time that he didn't get paid for. But no incoming money and a baby about to be born. It's time for Trump to end his outrageous shutdown...or maybe someone should take away all sources of income from HIM, until he ends the shutdown. No payments to Trump Org., no salary, no expense account, no Air Force One, no limo...
