The government’s plan to force workers back in office 5 days/week is reckless, costly, & fit for no one. Remote work is not only good for workers & taxpayers – it also saves the government money. It's not too late for this government to walk this plan back

Federal bargaining is broken — and it’s not by accident. The law that governs our negotiations, the FPSLRA, creates delays, limits what we can bargain, and lets scabs cross picket lines. Watch this video to learn how it works, and how we fix it: https://t.co/13QIxihn3B
Cutting public services doesn’t save money, it costs us. For every $1 invested, public services return $1.22 in GDP, more than the private sector. They create good jobs, strengthen communities, and drive real economic growth.
