"This isn't the first time that we've seen hypocrisy from the administration when it comes to telework. OPM encourages agencies to lean more heavily on telework during severe weather or major disruptions in public transit," said Tony Reardon, National President of the National Treasury Employees Union, one of the largest federal workers unions."But when it comes to employee contracts, really what they do is they just slash and burn. And that's a problem.
