Biden wants federal workforce to come to the office more. Some ask why?
As employers including the federal government cut back on remote work, employees who never had any intention of working from an office push back and threaten to retire or resign.
Early this year, House Republicans decided enough is enough.
"The federal workforce needs to get back to work," said Kentucky Rep. James Comer just before a vote on his bill, the SHOW UP Act, which aimed to bring federal workers back into their offices.
"Federal agencies are falling short on their missions. They are not carrying out their duties. They are failing the American people."
Even with COVID once again on the rise, the push for more in-person work has taken on a more urgent tone, even in workplaces that have allowed employees to remain largely remote since the onset of the pandemic in 2020.
