WPAFB could be impacted by government shutdown

“Thousands of federal employees will be placed on furlough—meaning they won't report to work Monday," according to a CNN news report about the government shutdown that occurred at midnight after Democrats and Republicans could not come to an agreement about "stopgap funding measure to continue government services."

Multiple jobs may come to a halt as result of the government shutdown and some people may go to work without getting paid across the United States.

Employees at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) are waiting for a response on whether or not they will attend work on Monday, according to 2 News.

Some employees fear the government shutdown may be similar to an incident a few years back. "The scenario could be a replay of October 2013 when most civil service employees at Wright-Patterson were sent home on furlough at the state’s largest single-site employer with more than 27,000 personnel, but how many might be impacted in another temporary closure could not be answered Friday," Dayton Daily News states in a report.

The National Force Musuem found on WPAFB closed Saturday after originally saying they weren't going to close, while other such jobs including the military and post office remain open still.

"Those who stay on the job — both military and civilian — will not be paid until a Congressional appropriations bill is passed, according to the Pentagon," according to a Dayton Daily News article.
