My view is this EO is cover for the agency heads who want staff back full time - and want to please the WH - to do so. Some obviously really really want to please Trump - see Marco Rubio and make Maga happy. But what about outsiders like Atkins? I mean he's a Trump appointee so I can see wanting to play ball. But he's not looking to run for political office either and may not be interested in engaging in a ongoing fight with the union over every little thing. Are the financial regulators going to run with the "applicable law" part - i.e. we have a CBA in place?

I live close to the office so NBD for me but I def have colleagues who are worried who bought houses as far as Richmond.[/quote]

The SEC will promulgate a policy with as much wiggle room as the EO. Managerial discretion, exemptions, ad hoc, blah blah blah. I don’t envy managers who will be dealing with this as their full time job now. [/quote]

But will it try to apply it to bargaining unit employees and rescind the CBA [/quote]

They'll try but the CBA is a contract - it's not like you can rescind it without litigation which drags it out a number of years.[/quote]

And in the meantime employees are coming into the office five days per week![/quote]
You clearly don’t understand labor law, contracts or injunctions, so please step aside. [/quote]

You seem awfully confident a judge would issue an injunction.

If they are following the law, they most certainly will. [/quote]

NP to this discussion but that's not my understanding of how this process works.  My understanding is that the union has to grieve the breach of the CBA to the agency first (probably a mass grievance since it will affect many people and it's easier for everyone to deal with this all together).  Obviously, in this case where the action initiated from the agency they are not going to reverse management's decision.  The union can then appeal to the FSIP.  The FSIP decision as I understand it is not appealable to the court.

The tough part is that while all of this is pending employees are required to RTO as ordered and the whole process can take about a year to play out.[/quote]

There are also processes for calling remote workers back such as approving travel orders to reimburse them for selling their house, packing up, and moving. It's not possible to do in 30 days [/quote]

It’s written into our remote work agreements that they need to return back to DC within 60 days and moving will not be paid for. [/quote]

Wow! Are you non-bue? If so then you have other worries. Otherwise, your union needs to do better if they wrote out moving reimbursement as remote work is way too risky with only a 60 day period to move. My agreement provides for reimbursement if brought in unless it's for conduct etc.[/quote]

Maybe pp and I are at the same agency but that is the way it is where I work too[/quote]

Wow, well I'm not sure what leverage you have against an edgelord appointee simply revoking remote work. [/quote]

Where I am the leverage comes from the sheer scale its been implemented and the lack of office space to return to. Ending it carte blanche would paralyze a rather important aspect of government. [/quote]

Are you TSA? They built a brand new HQ facility and moved in during COVID. It was sized for telework, not for 100% staff. [/quote]
