More states embrace Trump's crackdown on remote government work
Briefly

The ongoing conflict in Nebraska regarding state workers' return to the office is set for resolution by the state's highest court. The Nebraska Association of Public Employees argues that Governor Jim Pillen's mandate requiring full-time office attendance violates labor negotiations. Some state employees favor continued remote work for jobs where productivity isn't tied to office presence. This dispute reflects a broader cultural debate about remote work becoming politicized, as echoed by Governor Pillen and influences from national figures like Donald Trump, who claims remote work decreases productivity.
