Unionized federal workers across New England are resisting President Trump's directive to terminate remote work agreements, insisting that existing contracts guaranteeing telework should be honored. Leaders such as Lilly Simmons from the American Federation of Government Employees expressed determination to defend these contracts, which do not allow renegotiation for two years. The union is considering legal actions to dispute the executive order. Discrepancies in statistics regarding in-person work versus remote work add to the complexity of the issue, fueling further discontent among federal employees.
"We've been dealing with this sort of threat for a couple of months now, but we are going to stand our ground," said Lilly Simmons, president of local 3428."
"We're not happy with his decision to go after federal workers," Gonzalez said, highlighting the union's readiness to challenge Trump's order.
