Portuguese citizens work unpaid at US air base in Azores due to government shutdown
Update: 2025-11-07
Description
Government employees in the US aren't the only ones enduring the longest shutdown in the country's history. At military bases across the world, locals employed by the US have seen their pay suspended. While governments like Germany have stepped in to pay some of their citizens working for the US, others are caught working without pay. That's the case for Portuguese citizens at Lajess air force base on the island of Terceira. Host Marco Werman learned more from Paula Terra, who is president of the Portuguese Workers’ Representative Committee.
