March 24 (Reuters) – Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego on Tuesday introduced legislation to give more than 100,000 Homeland Security Department employees a 10% bonus for time worked without pay since a partial government shutdown began in mid-February.
DHS workers – including 50,000 Transportation Security Administration airport security officers – are set to miss their second full paycheck on Friday if the standoff continues.
