<\/p>\n

California agencies should prepare for state employees to work primarily in person come July 1, Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a letter sent to his cabinet secretaries this week.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Not having sufficient space for state workers to be in offices four days a week is not an excuse for delaying or implementing his return-to-office order \u201cto the maximum extent feasible,\u201d Newsom\u2019s letter said. \u201cImportantly, all available workstations must be filled at least four days per week.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Despite protests from state employees hoping to preserve their ability to telework, Newsom\u2019s letter indicates that he intends to follow through with his unpopular return-to-office directive that recently led to allegations of labor law violations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, SEIU Local 1000, the largest representative of state employees, filed an unfair practice charge against the Newsom administration related to the telework debate. The union alleged that the state abandoned bargaining over the issue and plans to unilaterally impose the four-day mandate.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tara Gallegos, a spokesperson for the Governor\u2019s Office, said that the majority of state employees already report to work in person at least four days per week and the expectation that all new state employees follow this same requirement will \u201cpromote trust with members of the public that state government is working effectively for them.\u201d Less than half of California state employees, however, are eligible to work remotely.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Gallegos reiterated Newsom\u2019s original motivation for the policy, which states that the benefits of in-person work include \u201cenhanced collaboration, cohesion, creativity, and communication, improved opportunities for mentorship, especially for newer employees, and improved supervision and accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

SEIU Local 1000 President Anica Walls said that union members recently began receiving notices from their departments that they will be expected to report to work in person four days a week.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was not a surprise at all,\u201d Walls said of Newsom\u2019s communication to departments. \u201cWe knew that this was going to be a fight from the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The return-to-office deadline was originally set to go into effect July 2025, but that timeline was pushed back last year after the Newsom administration and unions struck a deal in the face of larger-than-expected budget problems last summer. Under that agreement, state workers took part of a leave program to cut down on the state\u2019s compensation costs, and in exchange they got to continue working remotely three days a week for another year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2018All available workstations must be filled\u2019<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The governor\u2019s letter acknowledged that some departments have space constraints that will mean a portion of state employees will continue teleworking most of the week.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Newsom said that 98% of departments have sufficient space for employees to work from government offices four days a week. Less than 2% of state workers are impacted by the space shortage, according to a copy of the letter that the Governor\u2019s Office confirmed was accurate.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The governor encouraged his cabinet to use a \u201cstructured and equitable approach\u201d to the transitions based on what will meet departments\u2019 operational needs, though he said the entire administration should adopt a hybrid schedule with no more than one day of telework per week.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For departments with insufficient space, the governor recommended several strategies to maximize the number of employees in offices. Those included adding desks or modifying office space to make more efficient use of workplaces; shifting the location of employees\u2019 workstations based on surplus office space; and working with California\u2019s Department of General Services to potentially use additional space in Sacramento.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cA rotational program where employees work in the office fewer than four days per week is not an appropriate solution,\u201d the letter read.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Unions accuses state of labor law violations<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Prior to last year\u2019s negotiations, when the parties reached the deal to maintain the telework policy, unions had little leverage over this working condition. But since the Newsom administration used telework as a bargaining chip, SEIU Local 1000 hopes to push back against the return-to-office through the California Public Employment Relations Board.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

SEIU Local 1000\u2019s latest allegation follows a similar pattern that emerged this time last year, when various unions representing state workers accused the Newsom administration of violating the state\u2019s Ralph C. Dills Act by imposing the return-to-office directive.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

California\u2019s labor board agreed with the state engineers unions\u2019 claim that the state appeared to have \u201cfailed and refused to meet and confer in good faith.\u201d Ultimately, several unions, including the Professional Engineers in California Government and SEIU Local 1000, filed lawsuits in Sacramento Superior Court against the Newsom administration. Those lawsuits were dropped when the state agreed to pause the return-to-office deadline last year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2019s unfair practice charge accuses the state of \u201cunlawfully limiting the scope of bargaining\u201d by refusing to engage in negotiations with the union over mandatory subjects of bargaining, such as work location, schedules and telework. By announcing a fixed four-day, in-person requirement and rejecting the union\u2019s proposals without considering them, the state is interfering in SEIU Local 1000\u2019s ability to represent its members, the PERB filing states.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CalHR spokesperson Angela Musallam said that California\u2019s labor representative does not comment on pending litigation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe State will review SEIU Local 1000\u2019s filing and will respond as appropriate through the PERB process,\u201d Musallam said in a statement.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Are departments ready to welcome workers back?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Union leaders say that the administration is not prepared to welcome state workers back.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt seems like departments are very unprepared,\u201d said Jacqueline Tkac, the president of the union representing state scientists. \u201cI don\u2019t know that there\u2019s any clear evidence that departments are operationally ready for this expanded office work, or whether it\u2019ll actually be any of the goals that the government\u2019s laid out in his executive order.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tkac said members of California Association Professional Scientists, UAW Local 1115, have raised concerns about the availability of office space and have also raised health and safety concerns about government buildings.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One of the most frustrating aspects of this most recent<\/b> push to bring workers back to offices is the lack of information from the state, Tkac said. She said CAP-UAW has requested information about where employees should report to, the number of available workstations and how many workers will be sharing desks, but has not received responses from the Newsom administration, despite the fact that the deadline for returning to the office is less than two months away.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIf this information doesn\u2019t exist, then how can the state confidently say that they\u2019re prepared to have this influx of in-office work?\u201d Tkac asked.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Last year, departments submitted spreadsheets to the DGS reporting on how many workstations and offices they need to accommodate all returning employees.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A review of a handful of departments\u2019 surveys submitted in March and April of last year found agencies needed thousands of additional workstations and hundreds of offices to comply with Newsom\u2019s return-to-office directive by July 2025.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear how many workstations are still needed ahead of this year\u2019s return-to-office deadline. In January, a DGS spokesperson said that the department was not conducting additional surveys for office-space needs. The department did not respond to follow-up questions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe governor\u2019s last minute decision to delay RTO last year, I think, shows he knew that his mandate was untenable, and it was never about collaboration or what was best for the people of California,\u201d Tkac said. \u201cIt was all about politics and his political agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Despite Newsom\u2019s most recent signal that he intends to follow through with this return-to-office order, some state workers are hoping for a similar resolution as what happened last year: a last-minute deal that delays the directive until Newsom is no longer governor.<\/p>\n
