Feds like teleworking and want it to stick around, the National Treasury Employees Union says.
The union released results on Friday from a survey of 13,800 of its members in 33 departments and agencies that it conducted earlier this month, touting the safety role telework played during the pandemic by promoting social distancing. Maximum telework should forever be a go-to strategy during any type of public health emergency, because it allows government services to continue without endangering the employees, NTEU national president Tony Reardon said in a statement about the survey.
The union is continuing to pursue legislation on Capitol Hill to protect and expand teleworking policies and working to get telework friendly agreements with agencies, it says. NTEU represents about 150,000 federal employees across 34 agencies, most notably at the IRS.

“Individuals want to see not only diversity all throughout the workforce but in the senior ranks, that they see individuals that come from their communities, that there s a breadth of experience and people are bringing those experiences from all walks of life,” she said.
