A union in Sicily is calling for political pressure at the national level after representatives of the U.S. military services in Italy cautioned that some Italian employees at American bases in the country may not get paid on time.
Last week, the Joint Civilian Personnel Committee, Italy notified two unions representing local-national workers at American bases in the country that some of those workers may not get their paychecks on schedule due to the U.S. government shutdown. The committee represents the Army, Air Force and Navy in Italy in employment matters.
