Shutdown shrinks as thousands more employees called in to work without pay


(Worthy News) – Thousands of aviation safety inspectors and hundreds of food, drug, and medical inspectors are heading back to work without pay — and so will tens of thousands of Internal Revenue Service employees if the government shutdown is still in place when tax season begins Jan. 28.

In addition, the Interior Department is bringing back dozens of furloughed employees to work on selling oil and gas drilling leases in the Gulf of Mexico — key to President Donald Trump’s priority of promoting U.S. fossil fuel production.

Meanwhile, the Environmental Protection Agency has recalled dozens of employees, according to its revised shutdown plan, days after Senate Democrats questioned how the shuttered EPA could justify making workers prepare acting Administrator Andrew Wheeler for his confirmation hearing Wednesday. And the Department of Housing and Urban Development said it is bringing back an undefined number of “additional intermittent employees as needed.” [ Source: Politico (Read More…) ]
