Thanksgiving shutdown sets up nightmare scenario for travels
The government is days away from a Nov. 18 shutdown, which could force Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees and federal air traffic controllers to work without pay just as the busy Thanksgiving travel season begins.

Is it even a job if they're not paying you?
There is a 0% chance I would be attending this volunteer gig. Call me when the country opens and pay starts flowing again.
In a shutdown, most government employees are not allowed to work, aka furloughed. Obviously there are no consequences if they don't show up.
But some government employees are required to show up in a shutdown, like ATC workers. They are also required to get back pay after the shutdown ends. If they don't show up, it's treated as any other no-show and they could be fired.
