As the Biden regime prepares to exit, it has orchestrated a move as a cunning attempt to undermine the incoming Trump administration’s agenda to streamline government operations.
In a last-minute deal, the Biden regime has locked in telework protections for 42,000 Social Security Administration (SSA) employees until 2029.
The agreement, reached with the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), ensures remote work privileges for these federal workers for the next five years, despite the Trump administration’s explicit plans to slash such arrangements, according to Bloomberg.
The agreement, brokered between the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and the Social Security Administration, was authorized by outgoing SSA Commissioner Martin O’Malley and codifies existing telework policies, limiting management’s ability to impose stricter in-office requirements.
Rich Couture, president of the AFGE chapter, defended the decision, noting that it “will secure not just telework for SSA employees, but also staffing levels through prevention of higher attrition, which in turn will secure the agency’s ability to serve the public.”
The Trump transition team did not provide a direct comment on the union contracts.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, the Government Efficiency effort led by Vivek and Elon will target waste and fraud throughout our massive federal bureaucracy,” spokesperson Brian Hughes said.
“They will work together slashing excess regulations, cutting wasteful expenditures, and restructuring Federal Agencies.”
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, tapped by Trump to head the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), have made it clear that dismantling bloated federal work policies is a top priority.
