Is this not already the law anyway? I can't recall a single shutdown where they didn't get back pay, and I swear it was codified into law at some point that they always get it.
Furloughed workers get back pay by law. RIF'd employees do not. This is referring to the employees that were actually let go in a RIF but are being brought back as part of the deal.
