Sen. Tim Kaine warned employees that the president's buyout might not be what they think.
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) is warning federal employees not to cave to President Donald Trump’s offer of a buyout that would give workers about eight months’ salary if they leave their jobs next week.
“He’ll stiff you,” Kaine said on the Senate floor.
Contractors who’ve worked for Trump and Trump’s companies have frequently reported struggles getting paid. In 2016, USA Today reported on some 3,500 legal actions against Trump over pay disputes with contractors and others.
On the campaign trail, Trump would often muse out loud about not paying the people who set up his equipment when there were tech issues.
Now, Trump is offering to pay federal workers to leave ― but only if they act fast and resign next week.
