President Trump's recent executive order aims to eliminate remote work among federal employees, urging them to return to their offices full-time. This directive affects over 3 million federal workers, primarily impacting those in the D.C. region, where government employment is highly concentrated. While approximately 50% of federal personnel work on-site daily, about 10% hold fully remote positions. The order's implementation may face challenges due to existing collective bargaining agreements that legally protect remote work rights for many government employees.
Trump's executive order mandates that federal agencies terminate remote work arrangements, requiring employees to return to in-person duties at their stations full-time.
According to AFGE, more than 50% of federal employees are already working in person, with about 10% in fully remote positions.
The AFGE asserts that collective bargaining agreements protect remote work for several government branches, making Trump's order complex and subject to negotiation.
Trump's order does not apply to telework but strictly focuses on remote work, indicating a distinction that affects many federal workers.
