Governor Gavin Newsom's executive order mandating state employees return to the office four days a week is under scrutiny after a bargaining unit representing engineers and architects negotiated a suspension of this order for a year. This decision highlights California's ongoing struggles with workplace management since the pandemic and reveals the state's history as a challenging tenant. The tentative agreement includes minimal raises for employees while raising concerns over the governor's leadership and bargaining tactics that could affect other state employees.
"The Side Letter to PECG's current 2022-25 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) suspends immediately the Governor's four day return-to-office executive order for Unit 9 employees until July 1, 2026."
"It's telling that Team Newsom made no big splash about this Monday. It was left for the public to find it."
