The American Federation of Government Employees Council 238, representing the EPA's workforce, has filed grievances against the Trump administration's termination of remote work and telework practices. The union asserts that a contract signed in July mandates that telework eligibility must be determined by job functions, not managerial decisions, and identifies various tasks suitable for telework. This move raises significant concerns regarding employee rights and the balance between administrative policies and workforce flexibility.
The EPA's biggest union argues that the Trump administration's termination of remote work and telework violates a signed contract that protects eligibility based on job functions.
Grievances filed by the American Federation of Government Employees Council 238 state that the new policy undermines the agreements established regarding remote work provisions.
The contract emphasizes that telework eligibility should depend on job functions rather than managerial discretion, highlighting the specific types of work that are suited for remote engagement.
This legal challenge reflects a broader contention between union worker rights and administrative policy changes regarding workplace flexibility during and after the pandemic.
