Pearl Harbor Shipyard Workers to Return Monday

By /
Our media partner KITV has a report that says nearly 3,000 furloughed civilians at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard will return to normal operations Monday.

The workers were furloughed Oct. 1 as part of the partial federal government shutdown.

KITV reports, “U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Saturday the Pay Our Military Act permits the Pentagon to get rid of furloughs for employees who ‘contribute to the morale, well-being, capabilities and readiness of service members.’”
