Employees of the Economic Research Service (ERS) and National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) who agree to move to Kansas City will be allowed to telework until December 30 and will receive incentive payments of one month’s salary, according to an agreement reached between the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and USDA.
The agreement also gives the employees until September 27 to decide whether to move.
The agreement "is certainly a positive development that could encourage more employees to relocate, but it does not make up for all the anxiety and anguish that employees have been going through since this relocation was first announced,” AFGE President J. David Cox said of the accord reached with USDA.
