Why are they turning up for work?

Because they will be back-paid when the government reopens and if they stop showing up then they will be fired. Now, you could ask: won't they be able to get a job back later, who knows.
Actually, the administration has cast doubt on if they will actually provide backpay. It's now anybody's guess.
