The People Get Butt-Fucked AGAIN

  • Business owners have to close down. Their workers are told to stay home. But the paychecks for Government workers just keep on coming. . . . and now they want more money.



(WND)  -  Workers from five federal agencies are suing for "hazard pay" because they must work during the coronavirus pandemic.

The news website Government Executive reports five federal employees and the American Federation of Government Employees filed the lawsuit.

The complaint argues federal workers exposed to the COVID-19 disease through their jobs are owed the extra benefit.

The case, by workers at the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, Agriculture Department and Veterans Affairs, is in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.

They allege, the report explains, that "by not providing hazard pay to employees who interact with people and materials that could carry the virus, it is violating both federal law and Office of Personnel Management regulations."
