What happened

In the White House video, labor and aviation leaders say the day marks the first payroll period in which people are going without a check, and that they want to ensure no family is left behind while Congress makes the deal, as one speaker put it. Another speaker advocates for federal employees charged with keeping the skies safe who are going without a paycheck.

One leader recounts meeting an FAA employee in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who had been with the agency three months, moved his family there and has a newborn baby, and is now not getting a paycheck. The leaders state their shared goal as getting Congress to pass a continuing resolution and open the government, and thank what they call the leadership of the White House, the President, the Vice President and Secretary Duffy, as the closing speaker put it.

Why it matters

The video recruits the shutdown’s most visible affected workforce — aviation — and its unions to the administration’s continuing-resolution position, in the leaders’ own words.
