CA Union Hilariously Mocks Gavin Newsom by Weaponizing Climate Excuse to Dodge Return-to-Work Order
A California state employees union is using climate change arguments to resist a return-to-office order from Governor Gavin Newsom. The union claims that requiring employees to commute would significantly increase carbon emissions, contradicting the state's environmental goals. They propose that extensive environmental impact studies be conducted before any return to in-person work is mandated.
- ▪The California Attorneys, Administrative Law Judges and Hearing Officers in State Employment (CASE) sent letters to over 100 state agencies opposing the return-to-office order.
- ▪They argue that commuting would add 15,000 tons of carbon emissions monthly, undermining California's climate initiatives.
- ▪The union suggests that the current hybrid work model is the best option under state environmental law.
