Trump and Republicans Prove They’re Anti-Worker With Plan to Deny Back Pay

“They Will Always Side With the Powerful Over Working People”

Annapolis, MD — The Maryland Democratic Party is blasting Donald Trump and Republicans for a new memo suggesting that furloughed federal workers should be denied back pay due to the Republican government shutdown.

“Trump and Republicans don’t care about workers,” said Maryland Democratic Party Chair Steuart Pittman. “They create chaos, hurt families, and then try to skip out on paying people what they’re owed. It’s a clear sign they will always side with the powerful over working people, and Democrats will continue to fight back.”

Maryland has one of the largest federal workforces in the country, and this shows just how far Trump and Republicans will go to attack public servants and grab power. Maryland Democrats will fight this at every turn.
