Didn't know they could do that.
Out here if one is union and they go on strike, you can't collect unemployment. |

Sounds like a lot, but how many federal employees are in the state?

Technically they’re not unemployed. Doesn’t make sense. But seeing that it’s Colorado (aka East Commifornia), understandable behavior..

A strike is a decision by the employee. A furlough is a decision by the employer. Unemployment (with repayment if there is a pay in retro) is appropriate. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Small cost to get as many federal employees to leave their jobs as possible thus saving a lifetime of salary
Eventually they will have to find other opportunities |

If you are talking about reducing the scale of the federal government I’m all for it. I’m just telling you that you are flat wrong if you think you’ll accomplish it by forcing good employees out while doing nothing to the staffing level, which is not tied to the body and would start a hiring action as soon as the last guy left. I want to force all the employees out I wont get my wish. But I can dream. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Federal employees have missed one paycheck. One. Paycheck. Which, by the way, they're going to receive as back-pay once the government is reopened. Are you telling me that these people, who make an average of about $70k nationwide, are missing mortgage payments because they missed one paycheck? How do you not have enough cash reserves to cover that? MOST people in america spend far too much and save far too little. I've known people who make over $100k a year who save practically $0, private sector......I've seen how they live: new everything, save nothing, drink a lot. MOST of america are gluttonous pricks who can't cover 1 month of unemployment if they needed to. The whole government employees suffering thing is overplayed, I agree...but that's a media problem. How many government employees are out there? How many government employees have gone on the record for their suffering? Not nearly as many as the media is claiming, they are just using numbers, not actual accounts because they know most government employees won't speak to them. |

Quoted:
Source "More than 2,400 federal employees in Colorado furloughed by the partial government shutdown, including 89 in El Paso County, have filed unemployment insurance claims, state labor officials said Friday. The number of claims increased by nearly 1,000 since furloughed federal employees missed their first paycheck Jan. 11, according to data released Friday by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. Nearly two-thirds of those who have filed for unemployment insurance statewide work for the Interior or Agriculture departments, and more than 60 percent are from the Denver area. The 2,416 unemployment insurance claims make up 18.5 percent of the more than 13,000 claims filed since the shutdown began Dec. 21. Those claim numbers don’t include federal employees working without pay, but Gov. Jared Polis on Friday ordered that those workers also be allowed to seek unemployment insurance benefits. “Those federal employees who are required to report for work are feeling the same economic squeeze as those who have been furloughed. They should not be denied the immediate financial assistance provided by unemployment benefits while being mandated to show up for work,” Polis said in a news release." If they get anything pay it back when they get all their back pay from their job. |
