YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident-elect Donald #Trump threatened to fire federal employees who don’t come back to the office, and said he would go to court to challenge a Biden administration labor contract that locked in remote work arrangements for thousands of federal employees. #politics
“If people don’t come back to work, come back into the office, they’re going to be dismissed,” Trump said in a press conference at his residence in Palm Beach, Florida on Monday.
“And somebody in the Biden administration even gave a five-year waiver of that so that for five years people don’t have to come back into the office,” he added. “It’s ridiculous. So it was like a gift to a union.”
The remote work provision was included in a contract between the Social Security Administration and the 42,000 workers represented by the American Federation of Government Employees. That contract solidified arrangements that require employees to be in the office two to five days a week, depending on the job.
