A top Republican on the House Oversight and Reform Committee is calling on federal employees to return to their offices, after the pandemic forced much of the workforce to telework for the last 15 months.
“I write today to urge the federal workforce to return to the fullest possible degree to its
normal places of work,” Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.) said Tuesday in a letter to the Office of Personnel Management.
Hice, who serves as the ranking member on the House Oversight and Reform Subcommittee on Government Operations, referenced rising vaccination rates and falling COVID-19 cases across the country, as well as the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for fully-vaccinated individuals.
