We, the undersigned Scientists, represented by CAPS, UAW Local 1115, stand in firm opposition to the State’s rushed and inequitable implementation of Executive Order N-22-25. We stand united in calling out Newsom’s return-to-office mandate for exactly what it is: a coordinated attack on labor and a deliberate attempt to coerce State workers into making concessions
We reject being singled out and subject to a four-day return-to-office mandate while other state workers were granted a delay in its implementation.
We demand:
- An immediate halt to the implementation of EO-N-22-25 for State Scientists
- Respect our labor rights as state workers
We refuse to accept a system where Scientists are targeted because we refuse to bend to political pressure from the Newsom Administration. We stand together against Governor Newsom’s anti-worker, anti-science tactics that are a threat to the critical scientific work Californians rely on.
