Federal Workers, Burdened By Shutdown, Face Trump-Ordered Pay Freeze

The U.S. Capitol on Monday as a partial government shutdown stretches into its second week. A high-stakes move to reopen the government will be the first big battle between the incoming Democratic House majority and President Trump.

Because of the partial government shutdown, a great number of federal workers are furloughed or working without pay. President Trump has ordered a freeze in 2019 federal employee salary rates.
