Trump Nixes Federal Pay Hike

President Trump “issued an executive order freezing federal workers’ pay for 2019, following through on a proposal he announced earlier in the year,” CNN reports.

“The move, which nixes a 2.1% across-the-board pay raise that was set to take effect in January, comes as hundreds of thousands of federal employees are expecting to begin the new year furloughed or working without pay because of a partial government shutdown.”
