Musk, Ramaswamy want federal workers in the office full time. There’s a hitch.

The nation’s largest workforce could soon be ordered back to the office full-time. “If federal employees don’t want to show up, American taxpayers shouldn’t pay them for the Covid-era privilege of staying home," Musk and Ramaswamy wrote in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece published Wednesday. The National Federation of Federal Employees, which represents 110,000 federal workers, has been consulting with its legal team, said the union’s national president, Randy Erwin. In an interview with the Journal last week, Ramaswamy suggested federal workers should be worried about their jobs.“We’ll want to be reasonable, as compassionate as we can, at the level of individuals," he said. “These kinds of broadsides from Ramaswamy and Elon Musk show a really tremendous level of ignorance about the operations of the federal government," said Jacqueline Simon, policy director for the American Federation of Government Employees.
