Apparently the shipyard workers aren't being paid either [View all]

https://goodlander.house.gov/media/in-the-news/pulse-of-nh-bipartisan-bill-to-protect-shipyard-workers/

New Hampshire Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander, Congressman Chris Pappas and Republican Congresswoman Jen Kiggins of Virginia, have introduced a bipartisan bill to ensure workers at public shipyards get paid during the government shutdown.

Goodlander said those workers are “mission critical” for national defense.

((wondering if "calling in sick" has increased there as well...))
