Federal Workers Head Back to Offices | Montreal News

Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description

Federal public servants are being forced back to the office four days a week under a new mandate, up from three — while executives have already been working five days. The move, aimed at supporting the government’s ambitious agenda, has hit roadblocks: three major departments lack enough space, and others face limited workspace. Unions are pushing back, questioning the policy’s motives and even launching a legal challenge, calling it a one-size-fits-all solution that prioritizes real estate over workers. Transit agencies are preparing for a surge in ridership, adding capacity and running double-car trains. And the government is ditching unassigned seating, signaling a return to traditional desks — even as departments scramble to make it work.
