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’m happy for any union or person that was able to get telework into their contract.
Fuck everyone for trying to take it away, it solves so many of the worlds problems.
The man’s a real estate mogul, work from home is a threat to his commercial property values.
Some got contracts, some didn’t. That’s why labour law is important.
And when this doesn’t work out, guess whose fault it’s going to be?
Buttery males
Obama.

Does anyone think that Trump is going to do anything but watch TV and post for 12 hours a day?
He has surrounded himself with bad faith actors who will happily exploit whatever power vacuum exists within the executive branch.
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.
Maybe golf. At his own resorts. Charging inflated rates for his room and secret service/guest rooms + meals.
If that’s all he does, I’ll be ecstatic
It’s not him I’m worried about. He’s always been just a puppet.
