It is illegal for federal workers in the US to take strike action, but increasing numbers of workers started calling in sick.

![Black text on a white backgrounds, reads:
Gaelic:
Ach nis, a Shellar, fhuair thu bàs
’S ma fhuair thu ceartas fhuair thu blàths
An tcine leis ’n a loisg thu càch
Gum faigh thu fhéin gu leòr dheth
English:
But now, Sellar, you are dead
And if justice has been done you are warm!
The fire with which you burnt others
May you yourself have enough of it.
Scots:
Sellar, daith has ye in his grip;
Ye needna think he’ll let ye slip.
Justice ye’ve earned, and, by the Book,
A warm assize ye winna jouk.
The fires ye lit tae gut Strathnaver
Ye’ll feel them noo—and roast forever.
