Summary
Donald Trump’s proposed mandate to end federal telework and fire non-compliant employees faces major obstacles, including widespread union contracts protecting remote work.
About 56% of federal workers are covered by collective bargaining agreements, many of which include telework provisions.
Additionally, a record 10% of federal jobs are fully remote, and many agencies lack sufficient office space to accommodate full-time in-office work due to post-pandemic real estate reductions.
Critics argue that enforcing this mandate would be costly, contradicting Trump’s goals to reduce government spending and personnel.
I believe that his administration is going to do a whole lot of horrific shit, yes.
Wake the fuck up.
Trump and his administration are two different things.
Trump will be sitting down, his minions will be at it 24/7
That’s like saying Hitler didn’t actually turn the gas on.
You’re drawing a distinction that doesn’t matter in common parlance.
