A labor union representing federal workers has asked the federal government to reinstate telework while gas prices remain high and members struggle to make ends meet.⁠ ⁠ Leaders for the National Treasury Employees Union say soaring gas prices are placing an especially hard burden on federal employees, because their pay has not kept up with rising costs — most got just a 1% pay increase in January. Telework among federal employees has fallen sharply since President Trump returned to office last year, as his administration canceled many flexible work arrangements, including those that had been in place before the COVID pandemic.⁠ ⁠ The union has asked the government to approve telework at least until gas prices fall back below $3/gallon.⁠ ⁠ Check out NPR News Now wherever you listen to podcasts for more of today’s news.

NTEU mourns the passing of Barney Frank, who authored one of the most significant overhauls of the nation’s financial regulatory system, which created the CFPB. Since then, dedicated CFPB employees have helped recover billions of dollars for Americans defrauded by big banks and continue to honor his legacy by working to protect students, veterans and all consumers from unfair practices by banks and lenders. Today, the administration is trying to dismantle the CFPB. NTEU urges all consumers to stand with CFPB employees in honor of Barney Frank's legacy and urge Congress to save the CFPB.
