VAN NUYS, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Jessica Phillips loves her job as an air traffic controller at Van Nuys Airport.She's still working five days a week, including overtime, but has not seen a paycheck in a month because of the government shutdown. Because she hasn't been paid, she couldn't pay her rent in January and February is right around the corner.She's facing eviction."It's just unfortunate that we're being used this way to prove a political point," she said. "I sent in my paycheck stub, which is zero. I sent in the letter that the government gave us to send to people. She said that the company had received my information, but they had decided to move forward with eviction."Phillips is one of 800,000 workers across the country with similar situations. Now that the shutdown is approaching the six-week mark, many people are scrambling to figure out how they'll survive without another paycheck.Phillips said her job is stressful enough, but now she's dealing with issues she never imagined."It was really shocking. I found (the letter) at work today - that's when I got the email and I try not to think about the fact that I don't know how I'm going to pay my bills next month and what's going to happen to me, or my car, or my place, or my dogs," she said.The National Air Traffic Controllers union released a statement, saying their members are at a breaking point and that mistakes are being made.Staffing is at a 30-year low, and the FAA has frozen hiring and shuttered its training academy.Republican and Democrat measures to reopen the government failed in the Senate Thursday, even though half a dozen Republicans broke with President Trump and supported the Democrats' plan.Phillips said what frustrates her the most is that lawmakers are still getting paid while she and many others are not. She said she believes she'll be evicted in the next few days.
