“Union officials estimate roughly 800,000 workers will be furloughed as ‘non-essential’ employees in the event of a government shutdown and will demand retroactive pay because the furloughs would ‘add insult to injury for workers who have been living under a pay freeze for three years’." [Tony Lee, Breitbart, 30SEP13]  

I am having SO much trouble feeling sorry for these whining babies. In private industry, workers are being laid off… or cut to part time… when they cannot be accommodated.  Just try to do that to a “civil servant.”
