Airlines Step Up to Support Federal Workers as Nearly 13,000 Air Traffic Controllers Go Unpaid
SOURCE: FOX BUSINESS, 11/2

Major U.S. airlines are stepping up to support air traffic controllers and other federal employees who continue to work without pay amid the ongoing federal government shutdown.

Roughly 13,000 air traffic controllers and 50,000 Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers nationwide are considered essential, meaning they must remain on the job even as their paychecks remain in limbo. The shutdown, which began on Oct. 1, has dragged on for weeks with no sign of resolution. In the meantime, leading airlines told FOX Business they are working to minimize delays and offer assistance to affected federal workers.
