Trump says federal workers who don't want to return to the office are "going to be dismissed"

Washington — President-elect Donald Trump said Monday that his new administration will challenge a deal reached between the Social Security Administration and its union that would allow employees to continue teleworking into 2029.

During remarks at his South Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, Trump blamed the Biden administration for what he said was a "terrible" and "ridiculous" agreement that would allow tens of thousands of federal workers to continue working from home several days a week. 

The president-elect said "it was like a gift to a union, and we're going to obviously be in court to stop it." He said federal workers who don't return to in-office work will be fired.
