Nation's largest labor union for federal employees rebukes GOP's efforts to end telework
- AFGE, the country's largest labor union for federal employees, is fighting back against Republican criticisms that government workers are abusing remote work policies.
The article from Fox News discusses how the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), the largest labor union representing federal employees, has criticized Republican efforts to end telework policies. The GOP, led by figures like Rep. James Comer and Rep. Andy Biggs, has introduced legislation aimed at reducing or eliminating telework, arguing that it leads to decreased productivity and service quality. However, AFGE President Everett Kelley has strongly opposed these moves, stating that telework has been beneficial for both employees and the public, enhancing productivity, reducing costs, and improving work-life balance. Kelley also highlighted that the push to end telework seems politically motivated rather than based on empirical evidence, especially given the success of telework during the recent health crisis. The union is prepared to fight against these legislative efforts, emphasizing the advantages of remote work arrangements.
