House Approves Back Pay For Federal Workers

Workers on the federal payroll hit by the shutdown will be guaranteed their pay.  Finally, the House unanimously agreed on something.

Members approved the Federal Employee Retroactive Pay Fairness Act, H.R. 3223, in a 407-0 vote, with 25 members not voting.

Workers will not be paid until the shutdown — now in its fifth day — ends. About 800,000 workers have been furloughed.
