Government employees rebuked Donald Trump’s claim that “many” of them told him to “stay out until you get the funding for the wall,” according to a report from the New York Daily News.

As a result of Trump’s inability to come to an agreement with Congress over border wall funding, 420,000 government employees are reportedly currently working without pay and 380,000 more aren’t working at all.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents more than 700,000 federal workers, spoke out against the shutdown Wednesday, noting that there “should be no confusion” about how federal employees feel about being out of a paying job.

“They are eager to get back to work,” the federation’s president, Jeffrey David Cox Sr., said in a statement.

“They unequivocally oppose using shutdowns as a means of resolving policy disputes. This is not about a wall, this is about 800,000 real people with real families and real bills to pay,” he said.

TRUMP on his message to govt workers hurt by the shutdown: "Well, I think they understand what's happening. They want border security…many of those workers have said to me and communicated, 'stay out until you get the funding for the wall.' These federal workers want the wall." pic.twitter.com/jsiokJM5AV

Paul Shearon, the president of the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers, took an even stronger stance, calling the president’s claims entirely “false.” “We have not heard from a single member who supports the President’s inaction,” he said. “Most view this as an act of ineptitude.”

Using the hashtag #ShutdownStories, many infuriated and anxious federal workers described their financial woes caused by the shutdown this holiday season.

Take a look:

My husband is active duty Coast Guard. Everyone thinks the military is getting paid during the shutdown, but the Coast Guard is facing no pay on the 1st due to being DHS and not DoD. We live in NYC, pay over $2K/month in rent, have a toddler and one on the way.#ShutdownStories

We were relying on that paycheck to pay the car payment because I was too sick to work most of the month. Thank you, Mr. President. #ShutdownStories

#ShutdownStories single mom, single income. If my pay from last two weeks shows up I have enough to pay bills, but not buy food. We live direct deposit to direct deposit, & something vital is always breaking – car brakes, stove, furnace.???? nothing goes until this is over.

I am a disabled veteran who has been waiting for service connected surgery for over a year (yes it takes that long), can't get my final approval because of Govn't shutdown. This delay is making my future health care costs more expensive for all taxpayers. #ShutdownStories

I had my daughters tricycle listed for sale online. A woman came to buy it and she was a gov’t employee and saving now that she doesn’t know when she’ll go back to work, so she needed to spend less on the bike she was giving her child for Xmas.
I gave it to her. #ShutdownStories
