Trump Threatens to Dismiss 42,000 Federal Workers Over Biden's Remote Work Agreement Until 2029
Dec 16, 2024, 09:35 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to dismiss federal employees who do not return to the office, criticizing a recent Biden administration agreement that allows approximately 42,000 Social Security employees to continue remote work until 2029. Trump described the telework deal as 'ridiculous' and indicated he would pursue legal action to challenge it. He stated, 'If people don’t come back to work, come back into the office, they’re going to be dismissed.' The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents many of the affected workers, has vowed to fight any efforts to block the agreement. Trump's comments reflect a broader push to reverse remote work policies established under the previous administration.
