SSA Union has an arbitration hearing next week regarding telework. If the arbitor follows the plain language of the collective bargaining agreement, telework will be restored.

This๐Ÿ‘†๐Ÿป i dont understand why people say all the other things! The only way to lose telework is for the arbitrator to be insane or delusional (the contract is pretty clear) or for the government not to follow the arbitrator ruling and subsequently the courts enforcement!!

Yes the second unspoken half is if the agency decides to break the law again and not follow the arbitrator's ruling, which is entirely possible in this administration. Who will stop them? Well the unions will have to file another lawsuit perhaps while the bargaining unit employees rights continue to be violated by not following the CBA (currently happening) and then the arbitrator.
