BOSTON (WHDH) - The government shutdown is impacting workers at Boston’s Logan International Airport.
Members of the National Air Traffic Controller’s Association, who say air traffic controllers have been either working without pay or forced to work on furlough, handed out leaflets to travelers on Thursday.
Association members say the shutdown has led to a drop in safety and efficiency.
“A lot of people come here; they fly. They don’t realize the integral details as to what keeps them safe,” NATCA New England Regional Vice President Mick Devine said. “And we’d like them to know what this shutdown is doing to affect them, and how it’s going to affect them, not only today, but in the months and years coming.”
The air traffic controllers will continue handing out leaflets at Logan through the rest of the week.
