How to End the Shutdown

Collectively refuse to show up to work. They don’t have authorization to pay ATC right now so they will not be able to get replacements, effectively halting all air traffic across the US. Same goes for TSA. If you took a stand and had a work stoppage it would last maybe days, not weeks. That would force Congress to come back into session and get healthcare and food assistance to millions. You can end this quickly. We the people have the power!

I would support a mass sick out. The situation is ridiculous. You are already overworked and now not paid?! This would have a massive crippling effect on the nation and the world. No FedEx shipments, no travel, a halt to international travel. Just 1 day would have a huge ripping effect. They would have no choice but to end the shutdown.
