8:09Now PlayingThe government shutdown may be over, but federally contracted workers say they expect to be dealing with the fallout for months to come.
When President Donald Trump signed legislation on Jan. 25 to end the shutdown, he made back pay available eventually for the 800,000 federal employees who were furloughed or forced to work for 35 days without a paycheck. The legislation did not include any financial recompense for the untold number of contract employees who were also affected by the shutdown, many of whom provide janitorial, cleaning, food and security services for the government. []
Bill Spriggs, Chief Economist with the AFL-CIO spoke with Roland Martin about the long-term impact the government shutdown is having on government workers and on the American economy.
