The federal government's move to force public service workers into the office four days a week ignores its own evidence, and will cost taxpayers.

This government claims to care about fiscal responsibility, yet it's refusing to act on its own analysis projecting up to $6 billion in savings by expanding remote work. Instead, it's forcing thousands of workers into offices that are overcrowded, run-down, and infested with mold, bats, mice, and bed bugs. The government is also ignoring the statutory freeze, which was designed to prevent the employer from making major changes to working conditions during bargaining.

There's a better way. Remote work isn't just a workplace issue. Flexible work arrangements reduce traffic congestion and emissions, improve accessibility, and help recruit and retain workers from across the country. They also allow the federal government to make smarter use of office space and public resources.

This is the moment to speak up. Send a letter to Prime Minister Carney, Treasury Board President Shafqat Ali, and your local MP demanding they reverse the mandate.
