The new return-to-office mandate, ordered by national president Everett Kelley, is designed to ensure that the staff is fully prepared to tackle an onslaught of Trump policies targeting the federal workforce.
It's hypocritical for AFGE to champion telework rights for federal employees while treating its own staff - the very people who negotiate and lobby for these rights - differently.
With this move, AFGE seems to concede that working from the office can be beneficial for those with an important mission - but also seems to suggest that while stopping Trump requires that level of hard work, actual government jobs do not.
Perpich told the Post that Kelley, the union's top manager, was violating its contract with its personnel union by changing telework policies, while AFGE said that its management had the right to do that.
