加利福尼亚州工会推动法案让远程工作永久化, A California union pushes bill to make remote work permanent, citing savings and flexibility despite governor’s return-to-office mandate.

一个代表15 000多名工程师的加利福尼亚州工会正在推动立法,使远程工作成为永久性选择,即使总督Newsom授权多数雇员每周返回办公室4天。 A California state union representing over 15,000 engineers is pushing legislation to make remote work a permanent option, even as Governor Newsom mandates most employees return to offices four days a week. 该法案由议员Alex Lee提出, 要求各机构“尽最大可能”提供远程工作, 为现场要求提供理由, 并公布一个跟踪远程工作年度节余的仪表板。 The bill, introduced by Assemblymember Alex Lee, would require agencies to offer telework "to the fullest extent possible," provide justification for in-person requirements, and publish a dashboard tracking annual savings from remote work. 一份2024年国家审计员报告估计,如果雇员每周至少在家工作三天,每年可节省2.25亿美元。 A 2024 state auditor report estimated $225 million in annual savings if employees worked from home at least three days weekly. 工会表示该政策将有利于员工、纳税人及环境, The union says the policy would benefit employees, taxpayers, and the environment without challenging Newsom’s order. 该法案旨在促进透明度和长期灵活性,同时要面对与办公基础设施的不断斗争以及各机构之间各种远程工作政策。 The bill aims to promote transparency and long-term flexibility amid ongoing struggles with office infrastructure and varying remote work policies across agencies.
