Hundreds of Moody Employees Furloughed
Tuesday, July 9th, 2013
Hundreds of Moody Air Force Base employees had to take an unpaid day off Monday. Furloughs began today mandated by those across the board federal spending cuts. Over the next three months, the furloughs will hurt not only the employees, but also local businesses who rely on Moody.
It's lunch time at Thai Chang and every single table in the restaurant is filled with Moody employees. Located right across the street from the base, Thai Chang relies almost solely on Moody business.
"We didn't realize that 500 of them were going to be unpaid leave, because as you can tell, that is our clientele, is Moody. So that's going to affect all of the waitresses here," said Thai Chang employee Missy Atteberry.
