The Social Security Administration is appealing an arbitrator’s decision requiring the agency to restore telework for its employees.
A third-party arbitrator ruled last month that SSA violated its collective bargaining agreement with the American Federation of Government Employees when it indefinitely suspended telework, and ordered the agency to restore workplace flexibilities that had been in place before mid-March 2025.
An SSA spokesperson said in a statement Friday that the agency has appealed the case to the Federal Labor Relations Authority, which has a majority of Trump appointees. SSA is not obligated to comply with the arbitrator’s decision while the case is under FLRA appeal. …
Let’s be realistic, teleworking is NOT happening under this administration.
ReplyDeleteCorrect just look at the amount of remote (different than telework, i know) on usajobs.gov Its kinda crazy how few remote jobs. To be fair the amount of people (fed jobs in general) that abused telework is kinda shocking AND the lack of accountability on management is laughable. I liked telework i got alot done, its not coming back.
DeleteIt really sucks to see so-called "leaders" working so, so hard to screw their employees in every way they possibly can.
ReplyDeleteEven if gas rises to $10 per gallon and the private sector increases telework as a result, the federal government under this administration will still make everyone come into the office 5 days a week.
ReplyDeleteThe telework for SSA at this time and it seems like the Administration will win on appeal. The question is, will SSA leaders try to prohibit telework as a reasonable accommodation?
ReplyDeleteReasonable accommodations doesn’t exist in this administration.
DeleteThat's not true. About 60% of the people in my office telework full-time under a reasonable accommodation. If you can come up with anything I'd encourage you to apply. Can help deal with the horrors of coming in daily.
DeleteOnce again the agency doesn’t treat its employees fairly across the board.
