Called my Congresswoman to suggest a bill allowing Air Traffic Controllers to strike

[YessirAtsaFact]

Allow TSA employees to strike as well with the condition it only applies IF they aren’t being paid.

I know it will never become law, but it may have some symbolic impact.

If we could close down air travel, the shutdown would end.

1. Hardly a solution... We need Congress to legislate AGAINST political government closures.

Failure to reach a conclusion on a new budget should AUTOMATICALLY default to a ongoing Continuing Resolution that extends the previous budget for the interim.

2. How is that better than a bill allowing them to get PAID

I'm sorry, but even symbolically this is rediculous. We don't want them to strike. We want them to be paid. What would be the point at this time?

3. How about a law that says any Govt worker required to work during a shutdown is guaranteed pay?

Wouldn't also mind seeing loan guarantees,etc, so they can continue a somewhat normal life.

4. Possible consequences that would hurt Trump's rich friends

That’s the point.

Add something to the discussion about what may happen.

Sooner or later either the ATC could strike illegally or the pilots could illegally strike in sympathy.
