UnitedHealth Mandates 4-Day Office Return for Hybrid Workers in Minnesota and D.C.
- On June 20, SEIU Local 1000 filed a lawsuit in Alameda County Superior Court challenging Newsom’s mandate for 225,000 state employees to return four days a week starting July 1.
- The March executive order updated telework policies for four days in-office starting July 1, but the union claims it violated state law and the California constitution by omitting notice and public input.
- Court documents reveal the order would cost the state millions to reacquire office space, while union claims highlight telework savings, pollution reduction, and improved services.
- Following the lawsuit, Newsom agreed to delay some employees’ return-to-office until July 2026, but others felt blindsided by the March mandate.
- The dispute highlights California’s political and fiscal pressures, as Newsom, expected to run for president in 2028, faces a state budget deficit amid office-space costs.
