    It doesn't hurt employees. They do get paid. It does cause alot of disruption. It must hurt our elected officials I believe. No voting on the floor etc.for stupid Democrat laws.

    Yes it does hurt even with back pay. Back pay doesn't help when you need to put food on the table and gas in the car today.

    Need to shut the postal service down. We've been giving them billion dollar bailouts for the last forty years. It's time to cut the cancer out of the system
