Federal Drive with Tom Temin show

Summary: 2019 was a tumultuous year for the federal workforce. It started with a 35-day government shutdown, the longest in history. And it ends with a surprise day off, the largest pay raise in a decade and a brand new benefit for federal employees. Federal News Network's Nicole Ogrysko joined the show to talk about the past year for the federal workforce. She says this year was defined by mixed messages on everything from telework to agency reorganizations.
