（Boston Orange 編譯）麻州州長奚莉（Maura Healey）10月10日時發表聲明，呼籲川普總統承諾，支付欠薪給因政府關門而無償工作，在機場服務的聯邦員工。
川普政府10月1日宣佈關閉政府，意味著在公共事務行業服務的聯邦政府人員，將需無償工作，意味著在麻州的羅根國際機場，將有大約2000名美國運輸安全管理局（TSA）工作人員和空中交通管制員，將在拿不到薪水的情況下繼續工作。
麻州州長奚莉這天到羅根機場，出席麻州港務局宣佈羅根機場將提供持有證照療癒狗隻，供旅客拍打舒緩心情的活動，關心的感謝聯邦政府員工們，在無薪情況下，仍繼續在機場工作，保障人民的安全。由於川普政府未保證，一但聯邦政府恢復運作，聯邦員工們可以拿回停薪期間的薪資，奚莉州長特地公開發表聲明，呼籲川普總統做出承諾，將來要把欠薪付給這些聯邦員工。她說，這些聯邦員工也要養家活口，付帳單，她希望能幫助這些公僕得到應有的報酬。
Governor Healey Calls on Donald Trump to Commit to Providing Back Pay for TSA Agents, Air Traffic Controllers
BOSTON – Ahead of her visit to Logan Airport today, Governor Maura Healey issued the following statement on Donald Trump’s federal government shutdown, which means that nearly 2,000 TSA agents and air traffic controllers at Logan are working without pay.
“This afternoon, I will be at Logan Airport to thank the federal employees who show up to work each and every day to keep people safe and make sure everyone gets where they need to go. It's terrible that they have been working without pay because of the federal shutdown. And now, President Trump won’t even commit to ensuring federal workers get back pay once the government reopens,” said Governor Healey. “These public servants have families to provide for and bills to pay – and they’re continuing to show up to do their jobs. I want them to know that we see them, we appreciate their service, and we are going to fight to make sure they get the pay they have earned.”
