President-elect Donald Trump threatened to fire federal employees who don’t come back to the office, and said he would go to court to challenge a Biden administration labor contract that locked in remote work arrangements for thousands of federal employees.

“If people don’t come back to work, come back into the office, they’re going to be dismissed,” Trump said in a press conference at his residence in Palm Beach, Florida on Monday.
