The Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019 would ensure that government workers impacted by it and by any future shutdowns can at least get back pay. The Senate first passed the bill with a bipartisan voice vote late Thursday. The House took up the legislation the next morning before passing it 411 to 7.

Of course there will still be those who complain that they are not getting paid but what we are seeing is true government in action instead of everyone patting themselves on the back and getting their pork bills funded one more year in an appropriations bill.
This is good news though and one more thing that those who are affected will need to worry about.
