News brief

White House may not give furloughed workers backpay.

Compensation is not guaranteed for hundreds of thousands of federal workers on forced time off during the government shutdown, Axios reported Tuesday. The Senate rejected dueling measures to fund federal agencies for a fifth time on Monday, with insufficient support for both a Republican proposal to fund operations through Nov. 21 and a Democratic version that would extend healthcare subsidies. Air traffic control staffing issues affected numerous U.S. airports for a second day, with over 3,000 flights delayed.
