Federal employee union calls for telework return amid rising gas prices

Amid soaring gas prices, a union is urging the Trump administration to allow telework flexibilities for federal employees.

In a letter to the Office of Personnel Management, NTEU argues that feds should be approved to telework at least until gas prices go back down to normal. The vast majority of federal employees have been working fully in person since 2025, under orders from the White House.
