House Republicans Organize Letter Asking Trump to Reverse Pay Freeze
Government Executive | September 06, 2018
A group of House Republicans is organizing a letter to President Trump asking him to reverse his decision to freeze federal employees’ pay in 2019. The letter, which lawmakers will send to the White House on Friday, has bipartisan backing and was spearheaded by Rep. Scott Taylor, R-Va. It follows a similar letter from a group of House Democrats addressed to congressional leadership, asking for legislative action to ensure at least a 1.9 percent raise for civilian workers.
