President Trump on Monday demanded all US air-traffic controllers return to work — and offered a $10,000 bonus to those who have stayed on the job without getting paid during the government shutdown.

The shutdown, which began Oct. 1 and is now the longest in history, has meant 13,000 controllers and 50,000 TSA agents, as well as more than a million other government workers, haven’t been paid for more than a month, leaving at least some federal employees to call out sick, take vacation or otherwise not show up to their job.
