LEGISLATIVE

***SINCE THE 2024 ELECTION...***

 

The nation’s largest workforce could soon be ordered back to the office full-time.

President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to slash government bureaucracy and appointed uber-wealthy entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the efficiency effort. The two men have already targeted remote workers, saying that requiring federal employees back to the office five days a week would result in a welcome wave of voluntary terminations.

“If federal employees don’t want to show up, American taxpayers shouldn’t pay them for the Covid-era privilege of staying home,” Musk and Ramaswamy wrote in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece published Wednesday.

Ending remote work is being considered a potential early action item for the new administration shortly after the Jan. 20 inauguration, said a person working closely with the effort.

Unions are gearing up to counter such efforts. The National Federation of Federal Employees, which represents 110,000 federal workers, has been consulting with its legal team, said the union’s national president, Randy Erwin. It also plans to lobby members of Congress and is holding town halls with members concerned about full-time office mandates and job cuts.

“We’re rallying them and getting prepared for a really, really big fight,” he said.
