"Staffers at the Democratic National Committee seethed over the party's new directive to show up to the office and work in-person five days a week, blasting the order as "shocking" and "callous." DNC Chairman Ken Martin informed workers during an all-staff meeting on Wednesday that the national Democratic Party apparatus will require its entire Washington, DC-based staff to return to full in-person work starting in February."
""It was shocking to see the DNC chair disregard staff's valid concerns on today's team call," the DNC staff union leadership fumed in a statement first reported by the New York Times. "DNC staff worked extremely hard to support historic wins for Democrats up and down the ballot last Tuesday, and this change feels especially callous considering the current economic conditions created by the Trump administration.""
DNC Chairman Ken Martin informed Washington, DC-based staff during an all-staff meeting that the national party will require full in-person work starting in February. The staff union called the directive "shocking" and "callous," saying workers supported recent historic wins and that the change feels especially callous given current economic conditions. The union noted it is considering its options and recalled that the collective bargaining agreement allows workers to request to work remotely on occasion. Martin said staff would have flexibility for family, medical, and personal matters and argued in-person work fosters brainstorming and quicker, time-sensitive decisions ahead of upcoming election cycles.
