No Deal Yet; Agencies Taking Shutdown Steps

NTEU was briefed today by officials from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) on executive branch preparations in case of a government shutdown. 

OMB instructed federal agencies last night to begin preparations, including posting their contingency plans on agency websites and beginning informal notifications to federal employees about their status should a shutdown occur. Formal furlough notices will be delivered over the weekend and Monday with each agency handling it separately.
