Air traffic controllers from Atlantic Canada directed a fleet of special arrivals into the New York Air Traffic Control Centre on Friday night, as a gesture of solidarity and respect.
And each was covered in a layer of gooey melted cheese.
The Canadian Air Traffic Controller Association units in Gander, N.L., and Moncton, N.B., ordered pizzas for all of their colleagues at the control centre on Long Island, who have been working without pay since the partial U.S. government shutdown began on Dec. 22.
"It's been so overwhelmingly negative and it's nice to see that there's solidarity out there. There's people out there who are just saying, 'Hey, I work with you as a friend or a colleague and here's a nice gesture of friendship, that we care,'" said David Lombardo, a former air traffic controller who lives in Long Island and runs a social media site for people in the industry.
Aviation is a really tight-knit group of people, it's like a family. And plus, it goes against the whole rhetoric here that we're talking about because it's an international boundary!"
Air traffic controllers provide essential services and are unable to suspend work or take any other job action during the government shutdown, he said. As a result, with no other government services running, they're working without paycheques.
There are currently 14,000 controllers working without pay.

I'm one of the Canadian ATCs that participated in sending pizza to our American counterparts and it was a really cool experience. These are people we work with every single day and will likely never come face to face with, so doing something like this to show our solidarity was a good feeling. Throughout this whole thing every single one of them has maintained complete professionalism despite how frustrating and worrisome this must be. They're the real MVPs.

This is Zig Forums. No wonder redditors are taken for a ride. Sage.

They know this going in. It takes fucking years to get the Airport you want and after all that you get some decent money. Once services resume they will get paid.

The news is about giving pizza for free to some workers on ZOG's payroll. Do you really think this is "NEWS"? Sage.
This is another fake piece staged by the judenpresse. Somebody had to call the kike press to record the exact moment when the workers where munching food. Also is sickening, as it is another hypocritical demonstration of virtue signaling that the commies like to show to anybody willing to believe in their "kindness", meaning in their minds: "We are good and better than you".
Having an opinion and making it public is now virtual signaling… Another phrase that lost all meaning because too many retards think using it is some sort of response.
Every fucking one of them is "getting paid". The payments will simply be made very late. Fuck the media and fuck OP.
Logan Sanders
Honestly they shouldn’t work because it is illegal to work as slaves.

Actually, dumbass…..
It wasn't one 'event'. Since Thursday, they paid for more than 350 pizzas, and sent them to 49 American Air Traffic Control Facilities.
And the American Air Traffic Controllers are the ones who contacted the News Organizations.
Plus, the photos and videos were taken by the American Air Traffic Controllers, with their smartphones.
fake news?….. nope, it's legit.
but it appears that YOU are a fake expert. because you speak before you know.

lol @ the feckless opinions of an anime faggot

I'm sure that if the Air Traffic Controllers decided to spout off opinions aboit being a sedentary videogame playing sissyfaggot, they'd probably put their foot into their mouths almost as bad as you did.
because unlike you, they have no experience being a videogame faggot.
they don't know they'll be cut off because some man baby wants a wall on his terms only and refused 2 bills funding it because 1 included DACA and the other wasn't enough money ;_;

These are late paychecks for people that make six figures, it's not a big deal.
They're making it sound like impoverished workers will never be compensated for their labor. Really, the propaganda is more pathetic every year.

Looking rather dapper for a government worker.

Not at all.It is a event staged for and by the jüdenpresse. And by the way, jüdenpresse is always lügenpresse. THIS IS CERTIFIED FAKE NEWS, nigger.
Because the USA is a country where most employees have zero rights. All of them know that if they refuse to work (which they should have the right to because this is literal fucking slavery) they'll just be fired.
Okay, kid, do me a favor then. Tell your boss that you don't want to get paid until six months from now, and then tell them that you TOTALLY trust them to keep track of the time you worked during that period, and pay you accordingly. Tell me how that goes.
