Ayanna Pressley says federal contractors are owed $1 billion in back pay from the five weeks of work they lost during the government shutdown.
Federal contractors lost five weeks of pay during the 2018-2019 government shutdown. President Trump signed legislation for federal employees to get their back pay, but it doesn't apply to federal contractors. There's no official count of how many federal contractors there are across the country, but there could be millions. Many hold low-wage jobs like custodians and security guards. Democratic Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts says these contractors are owed $1 billion in back pay.
