That is incorrect. The main dispute is over wages. TBS wants us to take a pay cut of 5% adjusted for inflation. The secondary dispute about telework is about codifying language around telework so that the employer can't unilaterally change the rules again on us like they did in December.
Since the start of the pandemic, the telework that's been in place has always been limited to positions for which telework was appropriate. For tasks that cannot be done remotely, there has never been telework in place even in March 2020.
