<p>Democrats are pushing a plan to give federal workers a massive pay raise because they claim that former President Donald Trump was &#8220;cruel&#8221; and because the coronavirus pandemic was hard.</p>
<p>The proposed 8.7% raise for nearly 2 million federal workers would happen next year and would come after President Joe Biden already gave them a 4.6% raise this year.</p>
<p>“For years now, federal employees have risked their health and safety working on the frontlines of this pandemic,” <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/01/29/democrats-offer-pay-hike-to-federal-workers-to-make-good-for-trump-covid/">said</a> Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA).</p>
<p>“They were subjected to the Trump Administration’s cruel personal attacks, unsafe work environments, pay freezes, government shutdowns, sequestration cuts, furloughs, and mindless across-the-board hiring freezes​,” Connolly said. “​Still, our federal workforce serves with dedication and distinction every day. Federal employees are our government’s single greatest asset, and they deserve better​.&#8221;</p>
<p>Connolly will attempt to get federal workers the big bump in pay by introducing the Federal Adjustment of Income Rates​ Act with Hawaiian Senator Brian Schatz (D).</p>
<p>Schatz said, “​Whether inspecting our food, conducting medical research, or caring for our veterans, federal workers play an important role in our everyday lives and deserve pay which reflects that.”</p>
<p>Randy Erwin, president of the National Federation of Federal Employees, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dems-propose-8-7-pay-raise-for-federal-workers-to-make-up-for-covid-trump">claimed</a> that the raise was the least that could be done.</p>
<p>&#8220;The 8.7% increase listed in the FAIR Act is not a pay raise,&#8221; Erwin said. &#8220;It is the minimum increase needed to offset the dwindling checking accounts of public servants, and it is critical to recruiting and retaining the best possible workforce.&#8221;</p>
