Senator proposes 10% bonus to government employees working without pay

March 24 (Reuters) - Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego on Tuesday introduced legislation to give more than 100,000 Homeland Security Department employees a 10% bonus for time worked without pay since a partial government shutdown began in mid-February.

DHS workers -- including 50,000 Transportation Security Administration airport security officers -- are set to miss their second full paycheck on Friday if the standoff continues.
