Sean Duffy Says Air Traffic Controllers Working 'Without Pay,' Doing Gigs To Put Food On The Table, As Staffing Shortages Hit Major Airports

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says that the ongoing government shutdown has hit Air Traffic Controllers, who are working long hours without pay. Sharing a clip from his interview with Fox News on the social media platform X on Saturday, Duffy outlined the effect of the shutdown on ATC employees. "We're asking our Air Traffic Controllers to now work not just 5 days a week, but sometimes 6 days a week and 50+ hours, WITHOUT PAY," Duffy said.
