AFGE officials mentioned many staff members struggle with inadequate space, working in closets. Confusion is prevalent regarding office locations, with deadlines approaching rapidly. Concurrently, the Trump administration aims to reduce federal real estate by offloading owned and rented properties, a goal previously set during the Biden administration, illustrating ongoing shifts in federal property management and workplace policies.
