Members of North Carolina National Guard required to work without pay during shutdown: Stein

RALEIGH, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) – As the federal government shutdown continues,  Gov. Josh Stein posted a reminder that the state’s National Guardsmen are not being paid for their service.

Stein said the 841 guardsman in North Carolina did not receive their paychecks Wednesday, and are required to work without pay during the shutdown.

“North Carolina National Guard members are essential to keeping our state and our country safe,” Stein said. “Today 841 NC National Guardsmen did not receive their scheduled paychecks and must continue work without pay through the federal government shutdown. That’s unacceptable. We need our federal government to support our National Guard, protect our health care, and make sure families can put food on the table.”

The National Guard was mobilized during the State of Emergency for Hurricane Imelda that spanned from late September until Oct. 6, a week after the shutdown began.
