DEVELOPING: Air Traffic Controllers Claim Promised Shutdown Pay Has Been Broken Again

Breaking News: Air Traffic Controllers Claim Promised Shutdown Pay Has Been Broken Again Air traffic controllers are claiming that promised shutdown pay has been broken, just days after the government reopened. According to sources, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has informed controllers that they will receive their back pay within days, but some are disputing this timeline.

The Transportation Department has yet to comment on the dispute, but sources confirm that some controllers are already experiencing frustration and anxiety over the delayed payment.
