1:00Now PlayingGov. Tim Walz on Tuesday announced plans to require state employees to return to the office at least 50% of the time, a move that was met with immediate and forceful pushback from unions.
The order, which takes effect on June 1, includes an exemption for anyone who lives more than 75 miles away from their office.
In a pair of strongly worded statements on Tuesday, the presidents of the two unions that represent the nearly 40,000 state workers impacted by the mandate took swipes at the governor.
"We are mostly upset because there was no attempt by the governor or his agencies to engage with us at all," said Megan Dayton, president of Minnesota Association of Professional Employees. "There are not dedicated cubicles or offices anymore like there used to be pre-pandemic, so I don't know how they're going to do it."
Dayton said her union has not ruled out a lawsuit.
