Tim Yeung, a public sector labor law expert, stated, 'If the state really wanted to make everyone return to work, they could do that.' This highlights the authority the state holds over its workforce, underlining the ongoing tensions between labor groups and government mandates regarding telework policies. Yeung also pointed out that contracts between the state and civil workforce lack provisions for remote work, emphasizing the complexities of enforcing such mandates without established agreements.
Roy Kennedy, California Government Operations Agency's deputy secretary of communications, mentioned, 'As our employees transition more fully to a hybrid workplace, [the Department of General Services'] most recent data shows that approximately 92.1% of workers in the administration are in the office or in the field at least twice per week.' This statistic illustrates the significant compliance with the return-to-office directive despite opposition from labor groups.
