By Josh Israel -August 23, 2021 3:35 PM
The federal government is actually trying to increase flexibility after seeing the impacts of remote work during the pandemic.
The delta variant is fueling COVID-19 case spikes nationally, including in the Washington, D.C., area. But one House Republican thinks this is the time to force federal workers to go back into the office.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) filed a bill on Friday called the "Return Act." If enacted, it would mandate that all federal agency heads "require the level of telework of employees of the agency to return to the level of telework of those employees on February 14, 2020," before the coronavirus pandemic took hold in the United States.
To date, no other members of Congress have signed on as co-sponsors.

No one fights over the "employee of the month' parking spot anymore, and production has improved.
