The plan doesn’t make sense logistically or from a safety point of view, and it undermines the government of Canada\u0027s own goals.
As the representatives of two of the largest unions representing more than 90,000 federal public sector employees, we are calling on the federal government to halt its blanket return-to-office directive and to keep its promise: develop a hybrid-by-design plan that considers employees’ unique circumstances and job requirements.Sign up to receive daily headline news from Ottawa Citizen, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.
From Jan. 16, thousands of managers and supervisors will inherit the unnecessary burden of enforcing the policy, and many more employees will scramble to reorganize their lives once more. The transition will be unnecessarily costly for everyone involved, including Canadian taxpayers.
In addition, we see no sense in sending employees to the office when many of these offices have been closed, downsized, or are undergoing renovations. Many departments and agencies have already retro-fitted offices to reduce capacity and carbon footprints. Where will these employees fit? There is no clear indication of how various accommodations, let alone health and safety concerns, will be addressed. What is clear is that there is no justification for sending employees back to these conditions when better options are readily available.
