Originally published at: Airports Nationwide Launch Relief Efforts for Unpaid Aviation Workers
Programs at major hubs help sustain TSA and FAA employees amid prolonged government shutdown.
Work without pay amounts to slavery… it’s crazy to force controllers, etc. to work but expect them to tip into their savings to sustain themselves and their families. The relief efforts show that US citizens and corporations are still way less callous than their government but it is still morally wrong to degrade highly qualified essential service workers to welfare recipients. It is highly unlikely that this doesn’t have effects on safety. How efficiently can you run a busy sector when you’re distracted by how to pay the mortgage, feed the kids or fuel the car? Given the probability of such events recurring every year US banks are probably designing new products to fit the need already. “Your shutdown loan, just 5% APR for as long as the US’ credit rating stays high enough to make back pay plausible.”
Siegfried, the U.S. population and corporations are callous enough to allow this level of political idiocy to continue without a full-stop. Pretty much everything there is to hear/ read about this current dog & pony show is politically biased, highly partisan propaganda.
