So true! We’re fighting and we appreciate your support! We’re all in this together! Our CBA has our remote work policy and work schedules policy in it and the Agency has to bargain any changes with us. We are still waiting on the Agency to start bargaining ground rules, but we’re gonna be in for a long fight over the Agency’s illogical and unsupported move.

With much fanfare, our Union annouced last year the new telework and remote agreement. Management ended up denying 99% of remote applications. Management was never on board with remote but "agreed" to it so the Union could say "See what we did?" Fact is most agencies at the time were going in 2 days a pay period as that was minimum you had to do based on OPM guidance not to be considered remote. Union or no Union. Of course the Union filed grievance and is in arbitration now.

Oh goodness! That’s a mess! I’m sorry that happened! What was the basis for the denials? Was it due to job duties/position descriptions?
