 Oct. 20, 2025 | WORKERS’ RIGHTS | The Trump administration moved around money (dubiously) to pay military servicemembers during the shutdown this week. Still, roughly 1.4 million other federal employees on furlough or working for no pay are going without, missing the first of what they expect will be many missed paychecks during weeks of political stalemate. With no end in sight, federal workers are drawing down their savings accounts and retirement plans, and getting help from family members, food pantries, credit unions, and a variety of other sources, according to workers, union organizers, and aid group staff.
