Federal workers at Salt Lake City International Airport may be forced to work without pay because of the federal government shutdown, but they at least had free pizza on Tuesday.
Salt Lake Mayor Jackie Biskupski brought the pizza, both for lunch and later for dinner. And she is urging travelers to bring food to donate to workers at bins that will be set up just before airport security checkpoints.
She praised workers for staying "at their critical posts during this difficult time, and it’s time for federal leaders to follow this lead by getting to work to end this shutdown.
