Multifamily Increase of in Office Work Days, Recent Labor Management Forum

On April 5, Council 222 submitted a national Grievance of the Parties to the Agency regarding the Agency's rescission of full telework flexibilities (Article 18 of HUD-AFGE Agreement, amended by Supplement 34). The Union has granted the Agency until May 12 to respond. During the week of April 23-25 Council 222 met with Agency leadership as part of our Labor Management Forum. We met with HQ leadership from various program areas. Specific hot button issues including reasonable accommodations, work from home flexibilities, artificial intelligence, Equal Employment Opportunity compliance, training gaps for managers, Anti-Harassment Branch, retention and other issues were addressed. Read more on these two topics in the e:alert we sent to our bargaining unit members May 1.

Council 222 Vows to Fight for Multifamily Staff

February 22, 2024 - The Agency is attempting to usurp our current Collective Bargaining Agreement, CBA/HUD-AFGE Agreement/the Contract (the CBA) and negotiated supplements by requiring Multifamily Bargaining Unit Employees (BUEs) to report to the office in-person four days a pay period. 222 contends the Agency's actions violate CBA, Supplement 34 as well as several Supplements negotiated during the pandemic. For more, read the e:alert to HUD bargaining Unit Employees from President Antonio Gaines.
