Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Representatives Kweisi Mfume, Sarah Elfreth, Johnny Olszewski, Senators Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks, and Governor Wes Moore addressed the impact of the federal government shutdown on workers at Baltimore/Washington International Airport. Approximately 620 staff, including TSA agents and air traffic controllers, are currently working without pay.
Congressman Mfume criticized Speaker Mike Johnson for inaction, stating, "To keep the skies safe, we must make sure that our air traffic controllers are paid." Similarly, Congresswoman Elfreth emphasized that shutdowns negatively affect federal employees who ensure safe air travel.
Governor Moore urged the President to negotiate and reopen the government, calling the situation "a thumb in the eye" of dedicated workers. The group is advocating for legislation to allow federal employees required to work during shutdowns to apply for unemployment benefits, which they introduced before the shutdown began.
