The National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government alleging that NATCA members had been "unlawfully deprived […] of their earned wages without due process" as a result of the partial government shutdown that began on Dec. 22. A hearing has been scheduled for Monday in District Court in Washington. The suit also alleges that the federal government violated the Fair Labor Standards Act by a "failure to pay at least the minimum wage to air traffic controllers and other NATCA members" and "[failure] to promptly pay overtime."
