Allies of President-elect Donald Trump criticized a deal to extend hybrid work options for some federal staff until 2029, saying the agreement between the Social Security Administration and its union undermines return-to-office efforts.
Sen. Bill Cassidy, a Louisiana Republican who is expected to chair the Senate’s committee on labor and health in the next Congress, called out the contract deal, which was first reported by Bloomberg. “It’s time for federal employees to return to the office,” he wrote in a Wednesday post on the X social media platform, casting blame on the Biden administration.
