Pressley and colleagues introduce legislation to provide back pay for federal contract workers affected by government shutdowns.
Quiver AI Summary
On October 6, 2025, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and Senator Tina Smith introduced the Fair Pay for Federal Contractors Act, aimed at ensuring that federal contract workers receive back pay during government shutdowns. This comes amidst concerns about the financial impact of such shutdowns, particularly on low-wage workers in janitorial and food service roles.
At a recent emergency meeting, Pressley emphasized the bill's importance, stating that "government shutdowns are destabilizing events," and highlighting that many contract workers live paycheck to paycheck. The proposed legislation would provide back pay for those affected, offering fair compensation for wages lost due to furloughs during a shutdown.
The bill has garnered support from a wide array of lawmakers and unions, with co-sponsors including representatives from various states. The act seeks to rectify the current gap in protections for federal contract workers, who do not receive guaranteed pay like federal employees during shutdowns.
