## Resource

Vermont’s highest court is now deciding whether Governor Scott overstepped his authority when ordering state workers back to the office three days a week — a move unions say bypassed essential collective bargaining. The case stems from a 2012 telework policy the state claims gives it “sole discretion,” but the union argues that only applies to individual cases, not sweeping mandates. A labor board already sided with the union, and the state’s appeal has landed before the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, the state rolled out a new policy reverting to pre-pandemic telework arrangements — but with no timeline for when the court’s final ruling will come down. This case could reshape how telework is handled across Vermont state government — and whether workers’ voices matter when it comes to their work-from-home future.
