Trump threatens no back pay for furloughed federal workers after shutdown ends - PBS News Hour - Segments
Update: 2025-10-07
Description
As the government shutdown hits the one-week mark with no end in sight, President Trump issued a new threat, saying that furloughed federal workers may not be reimbursed with back pay once the government reopens. It reverses what's been a long-standing policy and possibly goes against a 2019 law that ensures back pay for federal workers. White House correspondent Liz Landers reports.
