U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin wants federal workers affected by the government shutdown to receive full back pay plus any interest accrued. Baldwin says today it’s only fair if the federal government can charge you interest for being late on your taxes, then it should be paying interest on late paychecks. Baldwin says she’s calling on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to bring the “Back Pay Fairness Act” to the floor for the vote.
