Doesn’t look like it.
it dictates that teleworkers should travel to their primary workplace at least twice within their pay cycle
Broader context is Biden is trying to force RTO on all federal workers
Which make this bill a shock
And this bill mandates RTO.
You are right
It does mandate 2 days out of a pay period, the bill does suck
What is interesting, is while the MAGA wants full RTO and Biden via Executive Order is also trying to push full RTO (just ask the EPA staff). The Senate has this bill pushing for some not full RTO. I don’t support this bill, but I can’t help but wonder if the Senate is admitting some weakness here
Edit: wait I just saw the organization linked. That is some right wing nonsense.
I think this is more about creating a remote work system for the federal government than anything else. But anything supported by Sinema is probably a terrible idea.
This legislation emerges on the heels of efforts by senators like “Family-Friendly” Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) to undo remote work, which makes it easier for workers to start and grow families, guidelines established during the pandemic.
I thought the article was just mocking right wingers
Edit:
It does mock right wingers, and I read the bill it doesn’t look like it has a poison pill besides the potentially harmful twice in a pay period (which is two weeks)
Remote work has been a target of self styled “pro-family” conservatives. For instance, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) voiced worries about federal employees moving to less expensive areas but retaining high pay (The absolute horror!). These arguments contribute to a larger political discourse on the pros and cons of family-friendly remote work.
