Duckworth参议员在关闭后要求给空中交通管制员增加10K美元的奖金, Senator Duckworth demands broader $10K bonuses for air traffic controllers after shutdown, calling narrow eligibility unfair.

伊利诺伊州民主党参议员Tammy Duckworth敦促特朗普政府向2025年政府关闭期间工作的所有空中交通管制员和航空管理局技术人员,而不仅仅是全程出勤的技术人员,增加10 000美元的奖金。 Illinois Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth is urging the Trump administration to expand $10,000 bonuses to all air traffic controllers and FAA technicians who worked during the 2025 government shutdown, not just those with perfect attendance. 她批评交通部决定将奖金限制在员工的4%左右, She criticized the Department of Transportation’s decision to limit the bonuses to about 4% of the workforce, calling it unfair and divisive. Duckworth认为,20,000多名联邦雇员在高度压力下服务,以维护航空安全,将绝大多数人排除在外,会损害士气,并可能妨碍病假。 Duckworth argued that over 20,000 federal employees served under high stress to maintain aviation safety, and excluding the vast majority undermines morale and could discourage sick leave. 奖金定于12月9日前分发,最初是作为对不间断服务的确认而设计的。 The bonuses, scheduled for distribution by December 9, were initially framed as recognition for uninterrupted service. 联盟领导人和批评家说,狭隘的标准有可能损害安全和公平。 Union leaders and critics say the narrow criteria risk compromising safety and equity.
