Philadelphia's Mayor Cherelle Parker's mandate for city employees to return to their offices full-time has led to a lawsuit by District Council 47 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, representing 6,000 workers. The union argues the mandate violates their contract and will harm employees. Mayor Parker's decision, aiming for a more visible and accessible government, ended the city's virtual work policy established during the pandemic, with concerns raised about worker shortages, lack of office space, and scheduling complexities for parents.
